Woman Refuses To Unwrap A Gift Her Husband Got Her For Christmas Because It’s Not What She Wanted

Choosing gifts can sometimes be difficult. Even though we know some people well, we might not get the gift right.

And that’s what makes choosing hard. It’s not the actual process of choosing but the fear of the other person’s reaction. This fear can lead us to make the worst decision ever – not getting a gift at all.

Some people actually believe that buying nothing is better than buying the wrong gift. Are they such perfectionists that they want all or nothing?

Or are they just anxious, and the process of choosing simply paralyzes them? Or are they simply inconsiderate?

One Reddit user shared her experience with her husband. He is terrible at choosing gifts, and when he can’t decide, he simply doesn’t buy anything.

After four years without receiving gifts for holidays, the original poster (OP) decided to buy gifts for herself, and he should just choose one, wrap it, and give it to her.

Sounds weird? Well, it gets weirder…

He didn't even bother to choose one gift from the pile she bought. He simply wrapped them all.

This story raises many questions about that marriage and the relationship. Read on to see what Redditors had to say about this case. Sadly, the OP isn't the only one with a similar experience.

OP asks:

Reddit

Her husband, Dave, is awful at choosing gifts. And when he doesn't know what to buy, he simply doesn't buy anything. So OP decided to make it easy on him...

Reddit

Extremely easy, if you ask us...

Reddit

OP thought for a moment that her husband showed initiative and had actually bought her a present...

Reddit

But no, he didn't even bother to choose a book from the pile she gave him...

Reddit

Now OP wants to know if what she did was wrong

Reddit

Most of the comments were about how EVERYTHING about this was wrong

Reddit

Maybe Dave has other qualities?

Reddit

OP didn't share many details about her husband, which makes it hard to see the big picture

Reddit

And from what we can see, this marriage doesn't sound like fun

Reddit

Some Redditors shared their experiences:

Reddit

And it turns out that 'bad gift givers' can become very thoughtful when they date someone they really like.

Reddit

There is a reason he is in the past now

Reddit

This is a really good question

Reddit

Another good remark

Reddit

One man wanted to contribute to the discussion, and he is angry...

Reddit

An effort is important, even when it results in a mistake.

Reddit

No effort simply means not caring...

Reddit

Some Redditors wanted to understand the husband better:

Reddit

Some were reminded of their fathers...

Reddit

Fighting fire with fire...

Reddit

Now, this is sad...

Reddit

Is this weaponized incompetence, or is it simply a lack of caring? One sentence caught our attention.

The OP said her husband eagerly awaited her to open his present. Is he joking?

He was genuinely excited about his wife opening a gift she had bought for herself? This is weird on so many levels. That's all we can say about that...
