You spend ages of your valuable time and a fortune before Christmas buying her presents-I hate Marks! Sometimes she's with you and helps you choose(so that should be OK). Sometimes you use your imagination('It's not a surprise if I help you pick it. You know what I like').
On Boxing Day she bullies you into going to the sales and while she's looking at more things she doesn't need you see EVERYTHING you bought her at 50% to 75% off!.By this time she's decided if she helped you pick it she's changed her mind,if she didn't help you it's the wrong size/colour/style etc.'It's about time you knew what I like'.
BUT! the sale is on! You can't take it back and get a refund-they will only give you the sale price. Cut your losses and get SOME money back? Convince her she looks terrific in it?(NO chance!)
So why can't she think like a man-go out on her own on Boxing Day, buy her own presents at half price and save you all that money and hassle?

Who said 'Humbug'?
