This woman and her husband have been married for nearly a year now, yet he’s never actually bought her presents for any kind of holiday.

Sure, he’s hinted that he was going to buy her gifts for Christmas, Mother’s Day, and her birthday. However, he’s never gone through with it and successfully purchased anything.

She, on the other hand, always buys her husband presents for all of the major holidays.

So, while she and her sister were chatting earlier this year on Mother’s Day, the fact that her husband has never gifted her anything sparked some drama that finally boiled over the other day.

It all began when her sister asked what presents she got for Mother’s Day, and she admitted that her husband didn’t buy her anything. She did note, though, how her daughter had gotten her a gift that was really sweet.

Well, it was then that she found out her husband had actually reached out to her sister and asked for suggestions on different Mother’s Day presents to buy.

“He didn’t follow through with any of them. My sister was shocked and sad for me,” she recalled.

She clarified how she really isn’t a huge gifts person. She actually prefers to give presents to others as opposed to receiving them.

Nonetheless, her husband not buying her anything was still hurtful.

“I understand not knowing what to get me, but not doing anything at all is hurtful. I mentioned this to him, and he said he’d try to do better,” she explained.

Still, just the other day, she and her husband decided to go over to her sister’s house, and her sister brought up his lack of presents. Her sister even point-blank asked her husband why he never bought her any gifts – not even on her birthday!

At that point, her husband just claimed that he never knew what to buy her. This wasn’t a good enough answer for her sister, either.

“My sister kind of got mad at him and told him to step it up,” she revealed.

This really upset her husband, too, and once they got back home that night, he “berated” her for telling her sister about the lack of presents in the first place.

In her defense, she simply didn’t want to lie to her sister.

Still, she now has been left wondering if telling her sister that her husband has never bought her one present was justified or a jerky move.

How would you feel if your spouse never gifted you anything at all? Did she have a right to tell her sister the truth, or should she have lied?
