Here's my post from yesterday:
DH only spent a few hours at work and was very distant when he came home. I didn't say anything because I was stewing over everything I said earlier in the day. We just kept to ourselves until dinner time. We ate together and then DD and I went in the kitchen and came out to surpise him with a b-day cake and gifts. He was irritated that I bought him presents. He said that I was obviously resentful over the way he handled my b-day and mother's day and that I just made it worse by buying presents for him.
We again kept our distance until we went to bed. We started talking and I told him how awful I felt when he gave me a card on my b-day and then totally ignored Mother's Day. I started crying. Mother's Day was especially bad because he had to leave at 8am that day for a business trip. I felt so lonely that day. I also confessed to him that I went to bed when I realized that he wasn't get me anything and cried for like 3 hours. I didn't want to bother him or make him feel bad about not getting me anything because he was about to leave on his trip and was stressed out about that.
Anyway,
he ended up apologizing to me profusely last night. He came over to my
side of the bed and knelt down and just hugged me and kissed me and
told me how much he appreciates everything I do for him and the
girls! It was so sweet! So we're back to normal today.
Re: Update on DH pissing me off on his birthday....
awwww - that was a sweet ending!
But a F/U from your OP - Please tell me he didn't buy himself a car.

Good - I'm glad he didn't get the car.
I think you did the right thing by celebrating his b-day with gifts and cake even though he didn't do anything for you. It sounds like everything worked out at the end of the day and hopefully he will never do that again.
