    Font - Mother's Day is practically over, my husband did not get me anything. He worked a 12 hour shift, came home with nothing. I told him that I'm upset he didn't me get anything. Not even a $1 card. It's not about the gifts, it's him showing his appreciation for me. He say the reason he didn't get me anything is because I said "I didn't want anything" which isn't true. He asked did I want something for Mothers Day a few days ago I said yeah and his reply was "it won't be nothing big" I ignored

    Font - This morning when we woke up before he left out for work he mumbled something like "happy mother's day, I'm not getting you anything" it wasn't clear. I told him that I didn't want a gift from him if it isn't genuine. I don't want a gift if he's only buying it to not hear me complain. I want one because he wanted to get one which he didn't get me anything. He said he show his appreciation every day (which he does not) why do he have to prove anything on this day? He show appreciation all

    Font - We got into an argument, he walked out, went to his parents, blocked my number and I had to take out the dumpster out myself for trash day tomorrow. All this on Mother's Day. I told him he needs to start moving his things out. He's trash. I feel as though the only reasons he bought me things in the past was because he did not want to argue. It wasn't out of love.

    Font - He's never done anything for occasions to recognize my hard work like I've done and tried to do for him over the years. AITA for wanting a divorce?

    Font - EDIT: Yes. I've always done for him on special occasions. Father's Day I set the table up for him with new things he needed. Valentine's Day I bought him the new xbox while I received nothing. He did buy us Red Lobster to eat at home due to not having a baby sitter to go out. Our 1st yr anniversary we did nothing. (We've been married almost two yrs)

    Font - EDIT: For those who's saying "but he worked 12 hrs" so do I. I work 12 hr shifts but still make time to show my appreciation. Also, I am not saying he's a total scumbag, horrible person. He is not. It is hurtful to hardly receive any recognition ever on special occasions beside Christmas which make's me question his love. He believe providing financially if I was to fall off, splitting bills 50/50 (sometime 70/30 and 30/70) is enough when it isn't. That is only the finance part of our mar

    Font - EDIT: He blocked my number after calling about 3x. Once I realized it was blocked I then started "blowing up" his phone with calls/texts which he might not have received. Idk. He's been ignoring since walking out yesterday till now. I did not blow up phone initially for those who keep commenting that's the reason he blocked my number.

    Font - EDIT: For those who keep saying "eh, you're not his mother" Correct, I am not his mother but I birthed his two children, worked up until I was 8-9 months pregnant with both, postpartum depression while still being required to work through that and so on. I'm his children's mother and wife. Although I am not his mom the least he could've did was buy me was the cheapest card there was and I would've been fine. It isn't about the gift to me honestly. It's about showing appreciation, feeling

    Font - I can see where I'm the AH but I can also see where I'm NTA. I could've approached the situation better but at the same time, my husband should've gotten me a gift or some sorta act of love. Rather it was just a gift, cooking dinner, taking the kids, etc. Instead when he walked in from work he had household items; trash bags, water and bananas for our little ones meaning he stopped at Walmart on the way home and didn't consider getting me a card, balloon, flower, $0.75 candy bar, nothing

    Font - Exact_Opportunity606 4 hr. ago I don't live in US and I've never seen or heard of spouses or even partners blocking each other after an argument! This is so wild to me, like if you're at that level of petty, just break up already! Reply Share 55 PMmeyourdoberman 2 hr. ago Definitely not a US thing. It's a scumbag thing.

    Font - screwyoumike 7 hr. ago This! OP- under no circumstances is this ok. Please see that this is man is not mature enough to be in a grown up relationship. He is emotionally stunted. Make an exit plan, you are better off alone than with someone who treats you this wag. I'm so sorry.

    Font - DrJScience 18 hr. ago NTA. As long as we have no-fault divorce you can get a divorce for any reason. Or no reason. He doesn't sound very loving or respectful. If this is common for him then it may indeed be time to look into divorce. Happy Mother's Day and good luck

    Font - MrsMurphysCow 11 hr. ago My husband did nothing for me for Mother's Day. No card. No gift. No "Happy Mother's Day". Late in the day I told him I was hurt that he didn't even wish me a happy Mother's Day. His loving, heartfelt response? "YOU'RE NOT MY MOTHER" So, starting last night I will be doing nothing "motherly" for him ever again.

    Font - jinxhexx7 7 hr. ago Better man than OP's husband. It sounds like she didn't even want breakfast or anything big. Just a card that he WILLINGLY picked out to just show appreciation.

    Font - journeysa 11 hr. ago I worked the 12 hours before breakfast Mother's Day. Better believe I still made her breakfast and had a card with gifts.
