The article recounts a personal experience highlighting the disconnection in gift-giving between the author and her ex-husband, illustrating a significant lack of emotional understanding. Despite her extensive thought and effort in gifting him a watch, his gifts lacked meaning and relevance to her, causing emotional pain. Ultimately, this incident became one of many red flags leading to their divorce in 2020. The author contrasts this experience with her current engagement, emphasizing the importance of emotional connection and thoughtfulness in relationships.
He doubled down and insisted he had put a lot of thought into the gifts and was furious with me for being 'ungrateful.'
This was just one of many red flags, and I am happy to say I wised up and we divorced in 2020, and I am now engaged to someone whose gifts make me tear up because they know me so well.
