“I had every intention of still doing something for him for Father’s Day, but I must have completely forgotten, and he never brought it up to me,” she explained.
“So I felt a little blindsided and put on the spot when he asked me to remember what I did.”
She apologized to him about last year and said she realized it was her fault for not getting the chance to do something special for him. She also told him she didn’t appreciate how he implied that she did nothing for him last year on purpose.
Her husband told her he had never brought it up until now because he knew she’d get defensive about it. Then, he reminded her that she “forgot” to get him something for his birthday last year.
She told him that the gift she ordered for him on Amazon was delivered late, but when he checked their Amazon order history, he saw that she purchased the gift on the day of his birthday.
“I told him he was being a jerk and ruining what was, up until then, a perfectly good Mother’s Day,” she said.
“He said he’s not trying to be a jerk; he’s just letting me know that he needs to feel that there is some reciprocation for these kinds of things.”
After their argument, she’s starting to think that her husband only gave her a perfect Mother’s Day so he could make her feel worse about not doing anything for Father’s Day last year.
Should she feel bad about last year’s Father’s Day, or is her husband being unfair for bringing it up?
