My husband signed a Mother’s Day gift with his dog’s name but not mine and now we’re fighting
Before Mother’s Day, I told my husband he should send flowers to his mom. We’ve been together over 3 years, married over a year, and I’m actually close with his mom too. We only live about an hour away from her. She later sent a picture of the flowers she got, and I noticed the card signed with his name and his dog’s name. My name wasn’t on it. I asked him why he included the dog but not me. He said “the dog has been with me for 10 years.” That made me super upset. I am outside of his core family in his eyes, but I am breaking my back for him. I work full time from home, cook for him, clean the house, do yard work, take care of the dog when he is working. I am his wife for god’s sake.
He thinks I’m overreacting and says it’s normal to send Mother’s Day gifts just from yourself and his dog I take care of when he works. I ended up getting really angry and now we’re fighting over it. Am I exaggerating? Do you add your spouses names on mother’s day cards? My husband has avoidant tendencies and I have been suffering a lot because of it.
