Being grateful and white lies.

[BabyPiglet]

Let's say, hypothetically, that you've been married to a man for 20 years. You dislike creme filled chocolate. Your husband comes to you on a valentine's day and presents you with a box of caremal, creme and truffled filled chocolate.

What do you do?

Tell a while lie? 'Thanks, honey! I love you so much. Yum, chocolate.'

OR

Be honest? 'We've been married for 20 years and you STILL don't know that I hate that chocolate!? Take it back! I can't believe you wasted money on that.'

 

[Cinderelli16]

White lie.
That's what I would do. lol

 

[::Snow_White::]

White lie probably, but maybe honest, depends on how hopeful they look when they give it to me that I like it.
There's no way I'd make a big deal out of chocolate.
It's the thought that counts. I'd let him eat most of it, or put it on the center of the table for others to have.

If I was honest, I wouldn't say that.
I'd just laugh and say "Lol. I don't like creme filled chocolate, look you just bought your own valentines gift. But really, thanks for the effort."
If I'm honest for these things, I usually try and sound grateful anyways because I really am.
It's just a mistake. I'd probably forget what kind of chocolate they liked anyways, too!

But at least I'll never be in that situation since I like creme filled chocolate. Haha.

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

Both.

"Aww thanks, you're so sweet, you really didn't have to buy me chocolates, how about we eat them together?"

 

[My Wild Love]

"Thanks babe, lets share because I'm not crazy about the creme filled ones."

 

[Ms.Squeakers]

"Thanks babe, lets share because I'm not crazy about the creme filled ones."

Exactly!

You shouldn't HURT the poor fellow for trying to be nice, but you also shouldn't pretend to like them in case next year he buys you more.

 

[PAdisney1995]

I would just thank him and drop the subject. I think the throught was all that counts. Jessica

 

[imabrat]

If there's two things in this world that bother me, it's wasting money, and wasting food.

I may be heartless, but I'm telling the truth. "Listen honey, I know you love me, but I really can't stand the creme filled ones. I'm sorry!"
Then again, I would never let it get past the 1st year. When I'm not pleased with something and you have a close relationship with me, you'll know it.

 

[HSMndLKfan92]

This would never happen to me. My husband would know what kind of chocolates I like and don't like by then ...

 

[Shelton123]

Be honest! If you say you like it, then they might keep giving it to you! You don't have to say "I CAN"T BELIEVE YOU GAVE ME THIS!!!111!!!" like you suggested you could just say "Oh, I don't really like cream filled chocolate, but it's nice that you spent some money on me!"

 

[MuskratSusie]

I would be very honest about it, and say thank you to him if that happened to me. I would be greatful that he would do that, but be very honest to him and be nice by saying that I don't like that type of chocolate. It doesn't need to be said rudely. What counts is that if he did that to me, he would have been thinking about me while buying that chocolate.

 

[PurpleDucky]

I would tell a white lie, because that happened to me yesterday lol.
I got a box of chocolates from my friend, but they were the Ferrer Roche (Spelling..lol) and I just hugged him and said thank you.

Buuut, if it were my husband, I'd laugh about it and tell him.
My stepmom got my dad berry mike and ikes (8 year marriage) and he hates berry XD. He came up to me and was like "Does she not know me? *laughs*"
He told her though, hahah.

 

[goofysk8]

"Thanks babe, lets share because I'm not crazy about the creme filled ones."

I would probably say that too

 

[Babyjustrun]

Mm, maybe I'd suggest sharing.
I'd give him a hug and a kiss and suggest sharing.
Feeding your signifcant other is cute?

It's one day a year, I think I could put up with creme filled chocolates once a year.
Unless he was buying for every holiday xD

 

[chisnpeke]

I'd hope they would know my likes and dislikes but if for some reason they didn't I would just say "Caramel and truffle filled are my favorites! Do you like creme filled because those aren't my favorite so you can have them if you want."

 

[Zip-A-Dee-Lady]

I would keep it neutral.
Like, "Awww, thanks so much! You're a real sweetheart!"
But never actually confirm if you like them or not.
Then give them away.

 

[Disney Dork]

Considering I would like 2/3 types chocolates in the box, I'd thank him for it regardless. I could just share it with him if he liked the creme kind OR, since we would have been married for 20 years by that point and may have a kid, could offer them the creme kind since they may like it as well.

Getting angry over something that small after being married to the man for 20 years is just ridiculous IMO. At least he took the time out of his day to get you something. And anyway, 99% of the boxed chocolates have a kind in there I don't like.

It's the thought that counts.

 

[BandGeek911]

Depends on my mood. If I was in a good mood, I'd accept them.
But if I was grumpy, I'd be like "I TOLD YOU BLAH BLAH!"

 

[Sparx]

i'd lie like a dog and eat every bit of that chocolate.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I would tell a white lie, and then mention on some insignificant day that I don't like the creme filled chocolates.

I'm way to aware of other peoples feelings. There's no way I could shoot down a gift somebody gave me.
