Mixed Emotions...(sorry a bit long)

First let me say that I have the most WONDERFUL DH on the planet. :)

I've been torturing myself for a few months about whether to order STS. I know many of you have. I have a really hard time spending money on myself especially since I haven't been working for a while. I just don't feel very deserving. Finances have been tight but we are getting by.

DH has always encouraged my fitness obsession b/c it's the one thing that really helps when it comes to my anxiety and depression issues. He never gives me a hard time about spending time on the forums or for making him watch countless clips of STS. :D

During the holidays he received an unexpected bonus from his boss and some money from his dad. I insisted that he get something special for himself b/c he never does. On Sunday he actually mentioned the presale for STS ending and preceded to try and convince me to buy it. I kept telling him no way and that I didn't need it (even though selfishly I REALLY want it).

Well, I just received an email from him and he ordered STS for me!!! He told me that he went ahead and did it himself so that I wouldn't feel guilty about it. I'm feeling excited and bad at the same time. I haven't replied back to him b/c I'm not sure thank you is enough.

I'm not sure how I got so lucky. I often don't feel I deserve such an amazing man. It's ridiculous to be going through all of this over something so silly but thanks for reading. :eek:
 
Truly a most thoughtful, caring gesture in the true spirit of Christmas. Why not show your appreciation by cooking him his favorite dinner? It might not seem like much to you in comparison to STS, but my man always appreciates it when I cook his favorite dishes. And for dessert.....well...... ;) Maybe respond to his email by saying what a lucky woman you are to have such a thoughtful, generous husband and that you can't wait to thank him properly in person!

He's always doing selfless things like this, not just for me, for everyone in his life. He just wants to make me happy but I would've been just as happy seeing him spend the money on himself.

Thanks for the suggestions. :) I was actually already thinking of cooking him something different that he would love. I must agree that the best way to a man's heart is through his stomach..at least it is for my DH. ;) As for dessert..well I may just throw in some brownies (his favorite) along with your idea. :D
 
Can I trade you husbands??? Sounds like you have a wonderful guy that cares about you. Give me lots of hugs and kisses and be thankfull and don't feel guilty!
 
I get such warm fuzzies inside when I read stories like this. What a kind and thoughtful husband you have Chastity. He is without a doubt a keeper. You are both very lucky to have one another. :)

Chastity, how blessed you are! I don't think it's silly at all. I think it's wonderful that you realize what an awesome guy you have! Give him a HUGE hug tonight and be sure to tell him THANKS! Enjoy your special dinner AND brownies! :D
 
I think he sounds wonderful!
And obviously he thought you deserve it, or he wouldn't have gotten it for you.
Maybe you could invite him to workout with you? Then he could share in the gift?

That's great!!!! Your husband is a great man for doing this for you, I can tell you firsthand how great it is to have an awesome spouse, I could easily write your last paragraph, word for word, with the obvious exception of woman in place of man!!!

Enjoy STS!
 
Chasity,

What a wonderful husband you have!
Thank you for sharing.:) Give him big kisses, and complete the program in a way that will make you both proud!
 
I can't wait until DH gets home tonight, not just to give him a big kiss and hug but to show him this thread and all of your responses. He'll be a little embarrassed but I know he'll be touched as well.

Debbie..sounds like we are both lucky ladies. :) BTW, I'm on week three of your December Rotation and loving every workout. Thank you!

Karla..sorry I'm not giving him up. :p I'm starting to feel better.

Cathe..I'm so surprised and excited to see your reply. There's no doubt in my mind that I'm blessed. After almost 13 years together he still gives me those warm fuzzies. :) I'm so excited to start STS and get to work. Now I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by all of the One Rep Max testing I need to get started on. Thanks a billion for working so hard for us. :)

Hi Debbie..DH might get sick of all of the hugs I'm going to be giving him, not just today, but everyday, more than once a day. :p I'm still trying to figure out what to cook.

Kathryn..I've tried many times to get him to workout with me at home. I actually mentioned to him a few months ago that he may be more comfortable doing STS with me since there are men in them but he replied with the usual response of "we'll see."

Jerry..I bet your DW feels just as blessed to have you in her life. Just from what I've read here you are a wonderful, caring man. ;)

Cynthia..I've been a little intimidated by the program but there's no backing out now. I'm going to give it my all. :)

Stacey..sorry he's not a twin, he has an older brother who's married. DH is much sweeter and cuter than him though. :p:D

Well, I'm off to get my workout and shower in before DH gets home. I don't want to be all sweaty and stinky when I plant a big smooch and a hug on him. ;)

Thanks everyone! :)

ETA: I checked my email after writing this and wanted to share what DH wrote in reply to my thank you.

Here's my message:
I love you..I really love you!!!
I’m not sure what to say…


Here's his reply:
It’s not in the words, it’s in the heart Baby –
I already know how important it is to you, that’s why I did it.


My heart is melting! :):):)
