I sometimes feel disconnected from my spouse as he very seldomly acts as if he remembers the special things between us. He does not remember our anniversary-maybe better said-doesn't celebrate it with me often. When I give him a gift and card - he sometimes opens them and then often leaves them unopened for a while. I think this is because he doesn't get me anything and says "I forgot".
I did get a tree pruner for Christmas once and this last year I got a leaf blower. I once asked for a beautiful diamond heart necklace and took him to Sears to look at it. I didn't get the necklace but he gave me jewelry cleaner. I practically pulled the box apart which contained the jewelry cleaner-looking for the necklace. When he asked me what I was looking for--I told him. He then gave me another box and it was a blow dryer. Gee. He is a hard worker but very far from being romantic. He did not want to do anything for our 25 wedding anniversary unless we vacationed with the children. That actually helped because I knew it would not be much fun it were just us two.
