So I need advice from veteran husbands lol so my boss and I are really close (my boss is a women) i have been working with my boss for 5 years she knows my entire life she has seen my ups and downs especially through one of the worse breakups in my life. So last friday was my Birthday wife didnt get me anything instead i spent all day in hospital since HER friend had a baby and we spend all night there no big deal to me since i told her my Bday is not a big deal but she made me care this year with promises of my headset (which i did not get) and a party (also didnt happen) she brought my hopes up. SO heres the issue my boss was gone my birthday week she went back home taiwan her grandfather was very ill, Yet today she came in with a big bag for me it had all these goodies from her hometown and a very nice card she wrote how she appreciates all the work i have done for her and how she considers me a close friend, my wife works at my office now and she saw the gift and now shes all pissy at me idk if just to tell her what the heck her deal is or just let her win this one. (also my ex of 5 years was asian, i think thats a big factor on why my wife hates my boss)

Question..What was your reaction when you received the bag, excited and happy is my guess. So then I'd say look at this from your wife's point of view. First of all you said your bday was no big deal, but it sounds like you wanted it to be. Her promises or not, if it really wasn't a big deal then it shouldn't be. But because (and just a guess) on your reaction to the gift from boss friend, it shows your wife it was a bit bigger of a deal then you might have lead onto. I wouldn't know what advice to give about you having such a close friend that's a girl, but that seems like a trust issue that your wife will have to learn by you showing her how much you love her, and that'll take time.
