10th Anniversary Needs HELP!?

Our 10th anniversary is in 2 months & I've been asking my husband what we should do, with no suggestions from him. I suggested we take a trip & he was all "we don't have the money", "what would we do with the dogs for a week?" I suggested a couples massage & he was all "I don't want some stranger rubbing me, and they'll use oil & I'll be greasy. Yuk!" I suggested getting tattoos & said I could get a fairy with 10 butterflies representing our 10 years together. He said "that's good & I can get a ball & chain with 10 links in the chain". That hurt my feelings! Then, finally a suggestion from him - and he was proud of it - he said "we could go see the bodies exhibit at the museum". It's not that I don't want to see it, but I sure don't want to see it for my 10th anniversary. Now my husbands mad at me for not liking his ideas & can't figure out why my feelings are hurt, even though I told him! Am I asking too much or is he just oozing negativity & thoughtlessness? I suggested tattoos because that's what we did for our 4th anniversary (trying to follow "tradition" - and it was his idea then). I suggested going somewhere nice to eat, but he doesn't like steak, italian, mexican, seafood, etc. I suggested a picnic in the park, but he was all "ants & bugs & geese all over, find a spot without poop, etc." I would love a museum, just not disected bodies, and that's all he wants to see. Seeing a cross-section of a brain just isn't going to put me in a lovin' mood. I didn't go this much into detail earlier because there's a character limit.

1. Somethings wrong out there. Or else its just another anniversary for him. He's not exciting and thrilled at being married for 10 years and thinks he's tied down to you. He is also stingy and doesnt want to spend. At least get the guy to agree for a house party with all your friends and relations.
2. WAIT you asked him what he wanted..he made an idea WHY not do this...BEAUTIFUL dinner or picnic somewhere...visit the museum arm in arm and admire it with him and then a evening home making love and being blessed you have each other I think you are being trivial YOU wanted tattoos over a museum?? a museum can be VERY romantic! Stop being so picky and give the man some credit..NOW go tell him your sorry and plan for a dinner the museum and hot monkey sex
3. ASK him for better suggestions, and if he can't come up with any and still seems negative and sarcastic, maybe it's time for some marital counseling. Possibly he just doesn't want to make a huge deal out of a 10th anniversary, or maybe he's not feeling well. TALK to him.
4. Yes you are asking for too much. How about you just be happy he had any suggestions. Anniversaries are supposed to be celebrating the love of your life together and how that time started. Does it really matter where or how you do that? You are asking him to do something lovey dovey romantic and it doesn't seem like he is that type of person. Go with whatever he wants to do and stop being so petty about something that isn't even here yet. Two months is a long time to fight about this, keep it up and you may be celebrating your anniversary alone.
