No. He hates quid pro quos. Plus, he''s been very generous with my jewellery budget this year already (although he didn''t get me a wedding gift -- long story). That "little something fun" would have been meeting the gem expert. I haven''t made a single peep about not wanting to go! I''m sorry for you too.Date: 9/15/2008 12:10:41 AM

I agree with DFan, too. Put a smile on your pretty face and go. Do it for your hubby.
Just a thought here...Do you ever trade ''services'' for jewelry?Hahaha - No I do not mean that how it sounds! Maybe you could tell DH you will go and you will be happy about it (ok, you will go at least). Though, it would make you happier if you had a little something fun to think of along the way. Say, a new project - other than the spess. It works for us! If I have to go to an event I really don''t want to or DH wants to go someplace (like racing Porsches in Alabama!) a little bit of jewelry always helps to sweeten things up. It certainly improves my mood!
And, for what it''s worth, I totally understand your frustration! I have been in a similar situation with DH''s parents.
