Jumbles: FLUSH HONEY TIRADE SAFELY
Answer: The bookcase wasn't made very well and had
a - SHORT SHELF LIFE
Really let down by receiving no birthday gift from boyfriend
of 5 months
Hi, Carolyn:
I have been dating a guy for about five
months and last weekend was my birthday.
We had family over and he offered to cook a
great meal and was relaxed and happy to do
it. It was delicious and we had a great time.
One thing bothering me is that he did not
get me a gift. He was embarrassed by the
little effort he put into the card and gave it
to me the next day — tossed it to me like,
“Here ya go.”
I found it odd because he called my friends
to talk about a birthday gift and he has talked
to me about gifts for other people, but didn’t
follow through for me. A simple, heartfelt card
would have been just fine and it’s not the gift
itself but the thought to have something for me.
My gut tells me it has more to do with him
and less to do with me. My friend said it’s
not worth it to hit it head-on, and it’s easier
to let it go and in the future say something
like, “For birthdays I love a sweet card, so
I can’t wait to find a great one for XYZ per
son.” Good plan? Just feeling let down.
— Happy-ish Birthday
He gave you a gift! He cooked a great
meal for you and the family gathered to
celebrate you.
That is more love-labor-intensive certainly
than ordering flowers or wine or a scarf.
So I do wonder why that didn’t register.
Unless he cooks delicious food regularly for
you and guests, in which case it wasn’t a birth
day gift per se... but if a partner who regularly
cooks delicious food for you and guests isn’t a
gift unto himself, then I’m not sure what one is.
But I digress. What matters is how you feel
about it, of course, and that’s why gift ques
tions matter. They’re a piece of a larger sense
of feeling loved and understood,
which is everything.
It’s so important, in fact,
that it would be misguided to
complain directly (and miss
the bigger point); absorb your
disappointment stoically (and
ignore your own needs); or drop
big disingenuous hints (really —
I cringe).
The remaining option is to
accept dinner as his gift, and communicate
more over time about what matters to you
in general. Talk with him over time about
gift-giving, talk about what you do and don’t
care about, talk about why these things mat
ter. Ask how he feels about his birthday.
Even more important: Think about these
things carefully, too. It’s not really about
another trinket, right? So, know yourself.
Know why you care, when you
have cared, what has made you
care more or less than at other
times. Maybe, for example, you
never minded that X was gift-
challenged, but with Y you were
sensitive about every little detail.
Think about those times, find the
why, apply these lessons broadly.
Remember, it’s just a piece of a
bigger sense of being valued.
At five months, you and this guy still
barely know each other. By next birthday,
assuming you’re still together, he might
know exactly what to get you — and you
might not need him to get it, because you’re
both in a more secure place.

The bidding:
SOUTH WEST NORTH EAST
IV Pass 4V All pass
Opening lead: Three of <7
North's jump to four hearts would
get no style points from a discerning
judge, but the final contract was
a good one. West had a difficult
opening lead decision and he decided
to lead a trump. He chose the
deceptive lead of the three, which
would have given away the East-
West trump trick on another day. Not
this day.
South captured East's king with
the ace at trick one, led a low club
to dummy's king, and led a spade to
his jack. This was a good guess, as it
forced the ace from West and set up
the king as a winner. West continued
his defense by cashing the ace of
diamonds and exiting with a low club
to dummy's queen.
South couldn’t see the danger in
this position. Should East hold two
hearts to the jack, a simple heart
finesse would yield an overtrick.
Even if il was East who held iwo
hearts to the jack at this point, he
would not be able to harm the contract
after winning with the jack. South
innocently took the heart finesse,
losing to West's now singleton jack.
A club from West gave Hast a ruff
and the contract was down one!
On the lay of the cards, South could
have succeeded by carefully cashing
two high diamonds and discarding
one spade and his ace of clubs before
taking the heart finesse. There was no
warning, however, that such care was
needed. Nice lead!
