Id love the bootcamp or the makeup.... every girl is different but yes I know some girls who would be downright offended. Depends on the girl. OP you know your woman. My vote as a fall back is something romantic you two can do together (and yes you have to at least pretend you like it) dancing would be a cool one (find something fun like swing or salsa) or a getaway.

The Victora Secret one is sweet also :)

Exactly ^^^. You know you're lady. The dancing sounds like it could be a lot fun for the both of you.
 
how bout those new fangled coffee makers that makes cappuccino and other special coffee.
 
I was going to suggest that you get her a vacuum cleaner or washer/dryer, as that went over so well in my house, but after rereading you post, you may want to just get her a bin. ;):rolleyes:

Get her something that she already enjoys that won't clutter up the house.

Otherwise, get her something that you secretly want, her own motorcycle, a hot tub...the possibilities are endless.
 
A one way ticket to Australia couldn't hurt!
 
Just judging from the tone towards your wife in other threads and this one, perhaps a divorce would be the best gift? For you and her sake, I certainly wouldnt appreciate a gift because you feel obliged to return the favour.....

You sound like someone who've never been married

Do you know how much divorces cost? F-that!
 
Married- No, but I was in a common law relationship- with having all the things that would be acquired in a marriage less the kids.....and I do know how expensive it is, in fact I got the crap end of the stick (got f'd over and still paying for it)- but regardless I opted for my happiness....I knew I would recover, and I wouldnt change my decision. I didnt want to dread going home everyday anymore.....

To that fact I also changed my future expectations and found someone more stable (financially) or independent like myself.....Dont want to ever fall into that hole again!

I would say its better to work on things if you have willing parties, but if your current ideas for fixing your relationship etc arent working, you probably need to re-valuate why they aren't or your approach.

This is the 1st time I've heard a female got the bad end of the deal. I guess there's equality after all :)

Did he hand in his man-card yet?
 
BTW typically when a woman says she got the crap end of the stick means she didn't get as much of the guys stuff as she would have liked.
 
Yes it does happen, I'm extremely independent purchased my house myself (at 23) and all my toys, have a career and have and made a couple stupid mistakes of allowing him to live in it among other things...

@ freestyle - bahaha he had no posessions just debt and not in this case I received not a penny nor was I after it, however he came after me and the things I owned well before we got together..

@stratofirtress - I wish I could say I can't sympathize with your ssister but I know all about that kind... NEVER AGAIN!

Since this thread has gone pretty sideways (imagine!!)
Lots of girls get the shitters end of the stick in the separation/divorce. I have a couple lawyer friends and the stories would make your head spin.
Nice girl meets idiot, charming but an idiot, doesn't realize how deep he is in the hole for all the nice things he appears to have. Move in together and slowly it all comes apart, he gets good legal council and she gets to pay out on all his stupidity. Happens weekly. Happens to guys too.
 
Well said.
