violet,
I'm sorry that you had to suffer the disappointment of doing something you thought would be a great surprise, only to be let down by your husband's reaction, or lack thereof.
I can so relate to how this probably made him feel, and how it probably made you feel too.
It is such a hard thing to live with, and sometimes being reminded in such a point blank way is even harder.
Best wishes and warmest regards to both of you,
Scott
