Is it right to feel sad over an anniversary gift?
January 5, 2010 | In: Anniversary Gifts
I told my fiance that I was going to get cowboy tickets for our anniversary. Instead of saying WOW, he asked where the seats where, and when i said at the very very top, he wasn’t excited anymore. They’re practically none left, and those are the only ones we could afford. He loves the cowboys so I wanted it to be the best gift, and we’ve never had a date, day, or anniversary like that, but instead he made me feel awful because I couldn’t give him good seats. Was I right to get upset that he didn’t really seem interested.

Don’t feel sad. Just because he’s not doing backflips doesn’t mean he doesn’t like the tickets…

Consider it a glimpse into his personality. Things happen for a reason. Live and learn.

Guys aren’t necessarily the best at showing their excitement. Wait until gameday – he’ll be excited then, for sure! I think that was an awesome idea, and hopefully he’ll come up with soemthing just as good for you!

You were absolutely right! I say get revenge, tears work best not anger. Crying in front of him should make him feel like the biggest piece of you know what. You should also take the tickets back and give him a cowboys coffee mug and a gift certificate to star bucks, you know something that would have deserved the kind of reaction he gave you!

I would’ve threw the tickets in the trash can if my man wanted to behave that way.

Sucky seats or not he should have been floored that you cared enough to even try to get him seats to see a team he loves play live in living color.

I think you were in the right. The fact that he gets to go with his wife should have been more than enough. You could have given him a box of thumb tacks and he should have loved it because i think couples should be happy they are making it to anniversaries and still love each other. While he is a sleep, hit him in his man area.

HE’S NOT A GOOD MAN! not to over exaggerate but seriously. who in their right mind would act so selfish and child like over an act of love and you tryign to make him happy. I havea feeling htis isnt the first time he has acted so rude to you-LEAVE HIM or at least consider it if this type of thing continues

Um yes it is perfectly understandable that you were upset about it. The fact that you went through that trouble and expense to get those tickets to his favorite team should have made him happy enough, but the fact that he wasn’t excited about where the seats were just goes to show that he is very shallow about that kind of stuff. He should be grateful that you even thought of a great gift like that. He is unbelievable.

Sounds like you messed up.
You should have gotten him tickets to the GB Packers…………..heheheheh
ALWAYS get the best seats for special occasions – otherwise it really isn’t a special occasion…………..

That’s what he gets for being a Cowboys fan!! Go STEELERS!! LOL!! I’m JUST KIDDING!!
Okay I totally understand how you’re feeling. He should have camouflaged his disappointment. I know I would have. It’s just that an NFL game to a real fan is priceless & it sucks SO BAD to be all the way up there. It’s not just the view it’s the CLIMB to the top of that stadium too. I was really pissed when my husband got Steelers tickets in the nose bleeds with no parking. It was truly a nightmare. My stupid @ss wore heels which is another issue but we had to walk an hour each way to & from the stadium b/c parking was too expensive & then the walk to the top was just awful. My feet were covered in blisters. And for ALL that it’s like you’re watching little ants on the field.
Is there any way you could pay a little more & buy some better seats on ebay? You can sell the ones you already have. We just paid $275 per seat to get on the FIELD 10th row. Now that is worth it.

He sounds like a jerk. If he’s really a big Cowboys fan, he had to know how difficult it is to find really good seats – people who have those typically pass them on to their children when they die. Go to the game with a g/f.
