I am I wrong or just over sensitive? Male point view needed.?

I am new here so I will keep it short. My husband and I just had our 20th anniversary. (WE MARRIED YOUNG.) I was so looking forward to celebrating it! I REALLY want to know if I am over reacting so be brutaly honest with your reply. O.K. here it is, He only got me a card. no flowers, no gift, nothing. I was hurt by his lack of thoughtfulness. I was not expecting a "BIG" gift just a simple token. Let me say again, I was NOT expecting a major gift. The other thing is, everyone (Nosey friends) are calling to see what I recieved. When I say a lovely card, silence is on the other line. Then, a comment about what there husbands have given or done. It is silly how some women gage love by material things. I am just supprised he didn't put any thought in to it. I do have to admit, it got me thinking. Is it me being silly or should I say that I was sad because I was wanting to celebrate.. 20 years is something to be proud now a days. Men you won't hurt my feelings, Please reply.

As a guy who has bought all kinds of presents for women I can say tht you are not over-reacting in the least...I certainly hope you let him know how it made you feel when that's all he got for you...perhaps he just didnt know how important this event was to you...
Reply:No... You are not being silly....That is a huge milestone...Try talking to him. Sometimes us men forget the little things, but it does not mean he does not love you. Forget about what others say and try to talk to him. After 20 years you need a lil spark. Hope everything gets better.
Reply:i think you are correct. maybe you should have gotten a gift for the both of you to share.



like a couple retreat to a spa followed by a nice dinner.



granted he should have thought of this but it may seem kinda gay to him...

Reply:seriously. He didn't mean to hurt you. We men just don't take things like that serious as women do. Your man needs to be a little more sensitive for the ladies. tell him how disappointed you are. He would learn in case of next time.
Reply:No that's ridiculous! 20 years is a milestone! 25 years is a landmark! Although I will ask, did you do anything to mark the importance of the day?? Its not entirely up to the man. Did you offer to make reservations at a great restaurant to celebrate? (It would be sweet and very romantic in a perfect world for the man to do this, but sometimes details don't occur to guys. if they assume you're on the same page they are, then thats good enough for them) Bottom line is yes, he should have done more than get you a card.
Reply:You are not being silly or greedy or anything like that. Do you guys have "loving" relationship usually? If so, he probably just didn't think this was nearly as big a deal as you did. If you guys aren't happy, this could be a sign to make some changes.
