Hehe and I got Dior 'J'adore' set with parfumes,body loation etc... and lots of clothes ,since my brother's gf works as a graphic designer in one cloth company hehehe. My bf also took me for shopping when I was on Mallorca. I bought him Guitar Hero. Anyways ,to be honest, not the presents are the most important things. Having time to spend with family is important . Especially if You leave far away from each other,Christmas is one of the few opportunities to meet.

coco, nothing?

Nope. He didn't get me anything because I don't usually celebrate Christmas. But we agreed that we would give it another shot. We thought about what we were going to buy for my parents, his mother and our god-daughter. I bought him a coat. He didn't get me anything.

No. I'm talking about the MAN. He didn't get me anything. Mother-In-Law was really excited about her gift. She wasn't rude to me at dinner and we actually had a conversation. I was still nervous and she was too but we made the best of it. I played my part, acting like I was so interested in their chatter. While Anako was falling asleep I chimed in with my, "Oh really? Tell me more about that I've never heard." LOL! It was fun.

and he didn't bother to go out yesterday and get you something nice?

No. He spent the whole day out yesterday with his friends, came home, cleaned up and went to bed. But I didn't complain. I'm tired of arguing.

But I didn't complain. I'm tired of arguing.

He seems like the kind of guy that would like his women that way.

He seems like the kind of guy that would like his women that way.

He is. He really is. He is used to being in control and having his women "obey" him. I give him too much mouth. LOL! But... i didn't ruin the holidays by showing out and going off on him. I just kept my mouth closed and kept it inside.

He did tell me on Christmas Eve we are not leaving for Vegas on the 30th. He sold it to our friend and his wife. When I asked him why, he said, you need to get yourself together, you don't need company or a vacation.

Overall it was a nice holiday though. I made some progress and my parents were pretty damn happy. LOL!

[vashti]

Damn, coco... Even *I* feel sorry for you. Your boyfriend is an asshole.

[CocoChanel]

=/ Maybe he was just missing his Dad and he is upset or something. I'm trying not to be bothered by it.

[vashti]

why?

You need to understand when anger is justified.
