How hard could it have been to buy her gift? Even Ralph Kramden bought his wife a gift.

Sadly, this story reminded me of that old O. Henry story, "
The Gift of the Magi".
This one turned out a lot worse.

My momma always said, “If you want to keep a happy marriage, keep your wife happy!”
I found this to be absolutely TRUE!
Going on 43 years.
But then, I’ve also found that if you want to keep a happy marriage KEEP YOUR HUSBAND HAPPY!

Actually my wife and I have had a "non gift buying" pact between us for years now. We don't keep our money separate so it's kind of hard to buy a gift without the other knowing about it in advance (as we both have access to our spending accounts online).
So we just go someplace warm on vacation each year and that's our present to each other.
I'm thinking that in this case, there were other underlining reasons than just not getting a gift for this murder.

Prosecutors say he then drove to Waltham police headquarters, walked in with a knife in his hand and yelled out to officers, "Shoot me. I have nothing to live for! I just killed my wife," reports the station. Police reportedly used a beanbag gun to subdue him and then arrested him.
Durned cops! They never kill you when you want them to. /s

I didn’t get a Christmas gift from my husband, we don’t buy each other gifts for Christmas. We buy for others but not each other.

“over a Christmas gift”
No, it was the LACK of gift. Not “a” gift.
Actually, this guy at least showed some remorse.

Why doesn’t CBS report any news about corruption in the government?
