We agreed on gift giving.

[Buck]

My wife and I agreed to pay down debt with the money we would have used for each other's gifts.

[Doc]

Great!

Now what are you really getting her?

[Buck]

A romantic dinner cooked by yours truly.

[Doc]

No.

I mean, what gift are you giving her?

[Buck]

Are you implying that I would secretly get her a material thing anyway?
That would only work if I had a secret Christmas bonus.
Oops.

I'm not implying anything of the sort.

But someone might infer from my line of questioning an assumption that women don't mean it when they say things like "no gifts this year" and skipping a gift might be very hurtful to her and ruin your marriage.

You're certainly free to make that inference.

Some women may be like that. In our case, an envelope with a cut up credit card and the words "paid-in-full" is better than a diamond ring. (with another payment plan to remember the ring monthly).

Yeah.

By the way, large bachelor apartments are quite cheap these days if you're willing to commute.
