Today is my birthday. 29. The last year of my twenties. I've had some anxiety about it recently. This past weekend my husband and I left our son with my parents so we could go out for a day date and dinner to celebrate my birthday, since we work opposite shifts and will only see each other about an hour today, on my actual birthday. So even after telling him a few things I wanted to do Saturday, he still couldn't take initiative to just take me to do these things. It was up to me to get us from one place to another and do all the coordinating, like always. Then afterwards instead of just going home to relax and "be together," he invited some of his family members over to hang out. Meaning we didnt get any alone time and he was "too tired" for anything intimate after they left. So I wake up this morning and he is in a grouchy mood. He completed didnt acknowledge that today was my birthday. I didnt ask for anything, I didnt expect a gift. I just wanted to wake up to my husband acknowledging it's my birthday. A card would be nice. Or bring me toast in bed. I dont know. Or just say Happy freakin Birthday. When I finally said something to him, he acted like he was under no obligation to even acknowledge my birthday today "since we already celebrated." We went out to dinner on a night we could actually eat together... that doesnt mean you dont tell me Happy Birthday ON my birthday. I'm just so sad about it. I feel so unappreciated. This actually is not the first time this has happened either. I'm pretty sure 2 years ago he did the same thing. He went the whole day without acknowledging it's my birthday. How do I get him to understand how hurtful this is?
