    Marital advice needed

    I bought MrsBP a new washing machine for Christmas. Delivered today. Then I invited her to play with her new toy.

    You would think she would be grateful not to have to take my dirty pants to the launderette. But she seems upset.

    I am very confused. How should I handle this?

            Some people just have no empathy BP. You seem to suffer from this problem, it is a burden
            let me put it to you this way

            If mrs BP brought you a new ipad and said, 'here, play some games all day'
            If mrs BP brought you 48 cans of ale and a dvd and said 'drink these watch this'
            If mrs BP put on her makeup and dressed up in a red corset and fishies and said 'come and get it'


            just thinks how fckng miserable YOU would be.


            thats empathy that is

                Following on from Dactylion's post, does the machine have a vibration cycle?

                  The truth is when it comes to birthday and Christmas gifts women generally want impractical, romantic gifts.

                  The ancient law of gift-giving for women? - It’s the feeling of being cherished that counts: being given a household item doesn’t make us feel cherished – it makes us a worker bee being given a tool for the job!


                  Something personal, for her, is what was needed.

                  Women will regard the purchase of household goods as romantic as long as you obtain them on practically any other day of the year except days specifically designated for gifts.
                  So if you come home on some arbitrary day with a new washing machine, then you will likely receive many brownie points.

                  Come home with it on a birthday / Christmas and you are fooked ! – it is a present for the house, not her !
