A lifetime that doesn't last long.

1. Last year I mentioned to the wife that I have never had a massage professionally, and I think I would like one as a gift when I got home from my 6 months of training for the Army. So I got a gift card for it. The place is little less than an hour away. 3.5 weeks after I get this gift card I tell her we should go up to that place so I can get my massage, and I will schedule her one at the same time, and then to a nice dinner. She then informs me that she had already used mine becuase she didnt think i would ever to use it...even tho it was less than a month after I got it!
2. A gf in HS. Back when the CD rage was starting. I wanted ONE THING, a portable CD player. I saw the wrapped Christmas present she got me and it was the EXACT size of what a portable CD player would be so I joined and got like those 12 CD's for like a penny or whatnot things they used to have. CHristmas even I open the present...and it was......a jewelry box thing that i could put my class ring in (that she had by the way) and a spot to put my wallet on it. I was pretty disappointed.
3. Growing up I found out where mom and dad hid the presents. One time when they left I went and tore a small side of the package to see what it was. It said something about red flashing lights or something like that. I was stoked, I thought it was one of those football video games (this woulda been like the mid 80's). On christmas I keep that gift for last to open.....and it was an Alarm clock. So disappointed!
Perhaps the reason the women in your life treat you like shit is because you are such a loser?
