Why are men (my husband) so inconsiderate all the time?

Laurel asked:


Wednesday, my husband and I went shopping and I saw a gorgeous necklace (sapphire and diamond) that I made sure he knew I liked.

Thursday, he came home from work with a present for me and I was certain it was that beautiful necklace. To my shock and surprise, it was a different necklace! Looked nothing like the one I had seen the day prior! I asked him why he got me this one and he said it was because my face lit up when I first saw it, but that’s wrong because I’ve never seen that particular necklace before. And I would have been ok with it but this necklace was just plain hideous. Anyway, we got into an argument and I told him I didn’t want it.

This morning, he brought me breakfast in bed with flowers, and I found the necklace that I actually wanted around my neck (Somehow he managed to put it on my neck while I was still sleeping). He told me that he went back to the jewelery salon and asked the sales woman which one we had looked at and tried on the other day. I was so disappointed when he said that because I was expecting him to say he remembered which one ACTUALLY made my face lit up. Why are men so inconsiderate?

    perhaps because he tries not to look at your face due to the hideous monstrous looks you have developed over the years.

    honey, the man went back to get what you wanted. he misread your reaction. you should have given him a big kiss and a bigger BJ. count your blessings and be grateful for having a man who will spend money on you and wants to make you happy.

    why are YOU so inconsiderate?? your husband is trying to make you happy and you just sound ungrateful to me. Inconsiderate husbands dont buy presents or make breakfast in bed…i dont even know why he does it since you dont appreciate it anyway

    your not appreciating ur husband have u ever thought of tht.hey at lease he got you something.maybe you the inconsiderate one

    why are you such a spoiled brat. It was a gift that he gave you because he loved you and you in your selfish whining spoiled brat attitude threw it back in his face. Was it such a crime that he didn’t remember what necklace you wanted

    inconsiderate? He brought you breakfast in bed, returned the necklace you didn’t like and did whatever he could to make sure he got you the one you wanted.

    Some men forget sometimes and they aren’t gonna be on the ball all the time. At least he made a big effort and made sure he got you what you wanted. Your husband sounds like a wonderful man. Hang on to him! Those are so rare now a days.

    I think he probably just forget once, no biggie. If he did it ALL the time then yeah, I could see where you were coming from. Just chill hun, and if he keeps doing this then address it with him.

    Are you fucking serious??? you are selfish lady and you don’t even deserve that man! That is a sweet loving and kind man to go do all that for you. I wish I had his number to call him, better yet, I wish I had your adress to go and save him from what pain im sure he is in from you nagging his balls off about that damn necklace. Jesus, you deserve to be alone.

    Very funny. This is not something that really happened. You’re probably not even a woman.

    Lady, stfu.

    EDIT: And based on the majority of your previous questions, your guy needs to DIVORCE your spoiled ass asap.

  12. LW | 25/06/09

    you’re a brat and don’t deserve a man like your husband. there is more to love than material things, you twit.

    You have got an awful lot of nerve condemning him after what he just did. Sounds like he just made a mistake and went to GREAT lengths to correct it. Had he ” actually ” remembered he would have never made the mistake in the first place. You should be thoroughly ashamed of your behavior AND this post.

  14. Sh?nn?n | 26/06/09

    I’d toss your ass on the street if you treated me that way.

    I don’t think he was inconsiderate at all. You didn’t like the necklace? You should have stated nicely that you didn’t, rather than fight with him after he bought you a gift. Plus, if you liked the necklace so much, why not just buy it yourself? It seems that he went out of his way to make you happy. To be honest, you sound like you are impossible to please, and if you don’t get exactly your way, you throw a fit. He got you the necklace you wanted, but that still wasn’t good enough. Do you expect him to hang on every word you say, and remember it exactly?

    It sounds to me like he made an honest mistake and was trying to make it up to you. He actually went out and spent a decent amount of money to do something nice for you, so when he comes home thinking he just did something wonderful for you and excited to give you a gift you reject it because he didn’t remember the exact necklace you wanted-so you get into a fight with him over it? Men are not as detail oriented as we are and like it or not, that’s just how their minds work. If you see a gold Armani dress you like and point it out to your husband, he might think “Oh she wants a dress” and buy you dolce dress instead thinking he’s done his homework. When they say they aren’t mind readers they mean it, and sometimes we really do have to literally spell it out for them. But it’s the thought that counts, the point is, he wanted to do something nice for you, made an honest mistake, and you mistook it for him being inconsiderate. I would suggest surprising him with a little something tonight. Hope this helps.

    i was raised in low income family. iam now remembering that oatmeal is better than no meal.iam not a woman but would be very happy with him and his inconsiderate ways,lol

    I hear ya.. You should have flushed that necklace down the toilet and make his butt sleep in the car for a month.

    I think you are being selfish and spoiled! your husband tried to be nice and buys you jewelery but because he made a mistake you started yelling at him? Then he brought you breakfast in bed with flowers and this time you realize he has slipped the one you wanted around your neck and your still Bit*hing? WTF? Who cares if he didn’t remember which one made your face light up? He actually went to all the effort to go back and find out so he could get it for you despite the fact you were an ungrateful B*tch the first time! You owe your husband an apology, If I was your husband I would never give your ungrateful @ss anything again. Its spoiled people like you that make men think us women can never be pleased.

    I think that question is a little unfair. Men make mistakes, but good men, are more often than not, completely oblivious to it. These are the times that I have to remind myself how much he really cares and he just often shows it in a different way than a woman might. I think your expectations may be a little off. To expect a man to notice things that a woman would is not necessarily fair, because they are men, not women, and we often treat them like our best girlfriends or therapists. I would appreciate the fact that he made breakfast in bed and gave you a piece of jewelry in an effort to please you.
