Today, I received from my husband for Christmas the body lotion that only he uses. And nothing else. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
Today, my boyfriend gave me a gift. A half-used bottle of body lotion that belonged to his dead wife. FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, I received an early Christmas gift from my boyfriend of ten months. It was soap. In a few days he will be receiving his very expensive specialized car horn he has wanted for years, while I will be enjoying my new bar of Walmart brand soap, which has already begun to give me a rash. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to gift me soap, a razor, and deodorant for my birthday. FML
Today, my dad came home from a trip to Arizona and brought back special hand-picked gifts for the whole family. When he got to me, he smiled, and pulled out a free lotion from the hotel at which he was staying. FML
Fancy a snatch? A *snack, sorry.
Today, my husband bought a luxury soap that smells like lemons. Now, every time I wash my private parts in the shower, it smells like a special at Red Lobster. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me acne cream for my birthday. FML
Today, my husband still hadn't gotten me anything for Christmas, so I bought and wrapped my own presents. Then I had my husband write 'to me, from him' on them so that I won't be embarrassed in front of my family on Christmas when it comes time to open presents. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mother told me she bought the same perfume that my boyfriend got me for Christmas last year. He loves that perfume. Now, whenever he smells me, he's going to think of his mom. FML
Today, I left the house for a while and when I came back my husband was wearing my lacy lingerie. He looks better in it than I do. FML

No real man uses lotion. If a real man's skin gets dry, he moisturises with the blood of a rattlesnake. A rattlesnake he caught. With his teeth.

Has he always been this lousy of a gift-giver? You can always give it to him on his birthday--and nothing else.

Maybe he forgot to buy her a gift and panic-wrapped the only thing he had on hand. My husband forgot to buy me something two years ago, which devastated me as I thought he'd done it deliberately since we going through a rough patch. Turns out he was just thoughtless. Three days after Christmas he finally asked me why I was moody and was embarrassed when I told him. He stormed out in a huff and spent 45 minutes in a checkout queue to get me some nice lollies and a few other small things. The OP really needs to ask her husband about this; trouble is that's a hard conversation to start when you're expecting the worst.

My ex once gave me my own shirt back. The one bought for me two years prior, then hid from me. Plus, I got scissors he stole from work. He could not understand why I was not thrilled to get the shirt back, after all, didn't I lithe it?

I guess you missed the memo that being with your loved ones and GIVING is *supposed* to be the best part of Christmas. Receiving gifts being the best part is for the selfish and ungrateful. *Supposed to go under #10's comment!*

Did you marry my ex? If I got a gift it was always something he wanted.

Maybe that lotion is more special to him than it is to you

I'm really tired of those who say it's not about getting presents. Yes, we all know that. However; it does say A LOT about their relationship if a man is that thoughtless that he gives something shows how little he cares. My husband gave me earrings that I will never wear in a million years. But he knows I like earrings and really tried. Of course it made me happy he gave them to me, and he will never know that I probably won't wear them. Because in the spirit of Xmas it would be completely ungrateful of me to be upset with him. That makes sense. OP has every right to be upset with her idiot husband. Hopefully he makes it up to her the rest of the year in other ways and she is not stuck with a clueless, thoughtless moron all the time!
