Am I the only guy who buys roses for their Wife on a regular basis?

[P&R Fan]

Today I was in the grocery store, as I am almost every day, and noticed their floral shop had roses $6 for a dozen. I'm on that deal! I'm on a first name basis with the ladies who work there, because I buy them for The Lovely Missus P&R Fan on a regular basis, just because. I asked one of the ladies if the guys were jumping on that deal. She said mostly women are buying them......for themselves. Why aren't the guys all over that deal? Six bucks and it will reap some nice rewards, if you get my drift.
What I want to know is am I the only guy out there who regularly buys his Wife flowers, and not just on the days when he is supposed to? It ain't expensive. Tell me I'm not alone.

Yeah, your probably alone on that one, except for special occasions.

 

[ogilvyspecial]

While I don't do it as much as I used to when I was working, which
was every week, I still pick up flowers for the wife on a regular basis.

I allows me to skip any of the "man-made" holidays and not get any flak over it.

I NEVER buy roses for my wife. She worked as a Lucky's supermarket florist for about ten years and thinks I'm nuts to buy them for her. so I take her out for lunches to cool places, instead. But that's just our situation. It obviously works for you guys and your wife appreciates the sincerity of it.

 

[CO_Kid]

You're not alone. I will get my wife flowers just because about once every couple months.

Today's our 9 year anniversary, and she's not tired of it (or me) yet

 

[627 city hunter]

I buy roses for girls I date.

 

[darksideemt]

depends on what you call "regularly". I'm along with CO Kid, but I also have been known to buy her other things, like purses. I was coming back from Jacksonville one day and stopped at the Coach outlet in St. Augustine and bought her a purse. I was the only guy in there that was not with a lady and clearly not forced to be there.

I buy my honey roses on an irregular basis. Usually not associated with any occasion, other than to tell her I love her.

 

[Kinman]

I buy flowers for my wife on a whim...like whenever the mood strikes me, neither one of us believes in celebrating the "Hallmark Holidays". We don't buy cards for each other and choose instead to be kind to one another and take each other out to dinner on special occaisons. The flower market is ridiculus and there are people working for sweat-shop wages and conditions. I choose to buy from local places and am fortunate that my wife appreciates anything from daisys to mums. Its also nice to give your lady something she can plant in the garden rather than something that will wilt and be thrown out or treasurered and dried.

I still bring the Lovely and Charming flowers from time to time, just because I feel like it, and it makes her "feel special." After 22 years of marriage she is still special.

 

[zonker5]

Like Old Bear, I buy flowers when I feel like it or when I happen to be near a seller, no reason, just because. Worked for 44 years so far.

 

[bobsdad]

The wife buys ME flowers!
Of course.....she buys a lot of stuff!

Mary gets a dozen red roses in a vase every June 16th on our anniversary. She insists on having her picture taken with each bouquet. She now has 40 pictures. She gets flowers on other ocassions but roses are exclusive to our anniversary.

 

[wyatt66]

I haven't bought her roses in years. Although I did pick some flowers from the garden for her on Saturday. But that was because I just put two S&W's on layaway

 

[mbliss57]

I buy my wife ammo every week. I tried the flowers thing but she prefers the ammo. On special occasions she gets a gun.
Last week was our 32nd. We bought a SW642. That was last Thursday. You know that feeling you have when you know it wasn't what she really wanted? Well on friday we were back and she bought a Sig P238...Now she's happy!

 

[straightshooter1]

Gosh, roses are so expensive and I'm just a poor old retired senior citizen on a fixed income.

But, my wife loves flowers, so I had an inspiration as I drove home one day.

Now, a couple of times a week, usually on Monday and Friday afternoons, on the way home from the trap club, I hit the cemetery.

Rarely find any roses, but there's almost always a bunch of beautiful flowers, still fresh and my wife loves them. She thinks I spend too much on her.

Nah, your not alone. I buy mine flowers every payday. Well now it's every SS doleday. (I guess thats a payday. kinda sorta)

 

[aphelion]

My wife thinks buying flowers is as big a waste of money as I do. So I'll get her See's chocolates once in awhile.

 

[T.L.R.]

I have been married to the same woman for 39 years and have NEVER bought flowers. Why start now !

I know she would want me to buy flowers, but hey, in 2 days their dead. I'de rather buy her a new vacumm cleaner. It would last longer

Every so often, for no reason in particular. She's always seems touched.
