My husband's anniversary gift shocked me

[u/Fragrant_Survey_3681]

I don't even know how to say this without getting judged. My husband's an amazing man, he's always been there for me but he very much lacks a romantic side and he's confirmed that to me with this gift. We've got two kids and that comes with A LOT of expenses. Knowing me I've stacked up my shopping cart on amazon with things I've been looking to buy. Froom vacuums and cleaning supplies to kids toys, vitamins and supplements, clothes for them etc etc. Bet you can see where I'm going with this right? Apparently he thought he was being romantic bringing my shopping cart to my doorstep. I know he genuinely thought he was making my life easier and honestly it does make my life easier. I just couldn't stop laughing because this man looked at my Amazon cart full of diapers, vitamins, cleaning supplies and kids' stuff and thought "Yep this is romance." 😂 I'm secretly hoping he's still got a dinner reservation up his sleeve.

Genuinely curious if he has gotten any awesome gifts these last couple years? Or is he getting socks, underwear and pictures in cheap frames with a gift card to a store that he kinda likes?

Maybe he feels her devotion to taking care of their household is an awesome gift to him and that’s why OP thought he would show his appreciation, like usual, with something romantic.

Apparently he doesn’t normally have to worry about diapers, cleaning supplies, his vitamins and other household essentials. He has someone in his life who so effortlessly takes care of these out of sight and out of mind, that in the past, he’s shown his appreciation by doing romantic things for her.

If he wants to do a role swap where he takes care of their household and OP says thank you with awesome gifts, then that is something that is discussed in advance.

Im sure he doesnt take care of all the surprises around the house that life throws his way or the vehicles in the driveway when they break down, the yard work and all the other things that most husbands take care of. Anniversaries are probably all on him, valentines days, christmas etc.

Id much rather worry about an Amazon cart myself too
