Hubby does NOT "spoil" me in the sense of thoughtful creature comforts, like a warm blanket if it's chilly or a cup of coffee waiting in the morning. He's not the protective nor the nurturing type AT ALL. It's the other way around -- I spoil him in that sense and nurture him like crazy, just cuz that's my personality. However, I'm luckcy in that if I *ask* him to do something to help out around the house, he'll usually do it....*most* of the time without b!tching and moaning.
In the material sense, if I want something like new clothes, I don't have to check with him, he just lets me spend on myself as I please. If it's a big-ticket item (like the diamond eternity band I just got), then I obviously have to run it by him, and 8 times out of 10 he'll say yes....because he wants me to have nice things. However, he'd NEVER surprise me with something like jewelry. It would just never occur to him!
