98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Should You Tell Your Spouse What To Buy You For Your Birthday?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:35:34 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Carolyn, and it's about birthdays and gifts. Here's her email.Hi Jaime. Here's an issue I've had for years, and I'm hoping to change things this year. My birthday is coming up in a few weeks and typically my very sweet husband does his best to get a thoughtful gift for me, but it’s rarely what I really want or would buy for myself. So, I'm thinking this year, I should just be proactive and tell him exactly what to get me. Do you think it's okay to do that or do you think it would hurt his feelings? I know he tries to do his best, but a lot of the times I have to pretend to like something I don't. What do you think? Tell him or just leave the situation alone? Thanks so much.CarolynI don't think there's anything wrong with telling someone what you would like for your birthday.

"Our goal was to win the section that’s our first part that we want to do so after we lost that one it’s kind of been in my head since that day so I’m excited to be out here again.
