What do I want for my birthday? (lemmy.ca)

It's that time of year again when my partner gets upset with me because I'm not the kind of person that ever wants anything...

My partner always wants this or that. They mention things they want all the time. So I write down what I hear. Gift holidays are covered easily because I try to pay attention.

I feel bad though. I know it's hard when I don't talk about things I want. And when asked, I don't know what to say. It only ends up causing me anxiety.

This is so dumb. What does a person who doesn't want things want for their birthday?

Lol my wife isn’t rich either. She works as an insulator, so me makes decent enough money that she can buy me 60 bucks worth of beer once a year tho.

If I didn't have to actually absorb all the calories from that amount of beer, this would be an amazing gift. 🤣

Seriously, I watch sitcoms where people are drinking beer after beer at home or going to bars all the time. My body simply can't keep up with that amount of input. 🙃

Well I jog a lot and work construction so it evens out haha

Oh yes. Jogging. I remember that.

I may have to start jogging again just for the beer. 😁
