Here come the waterworks, thanks a lot DH

Background: my birthday is Saturday. This has been overshadowed somewhat by my DS's due date being March 2, but I was hoping DH had at least thought about it, maybe even decided to get me something special since I'm over 40 weeks PREGNANT with his firstborn and all...

The conversation:

Me: "So have you thought about what to do for my birthday?"

DH: "Oh crap! When is your birthday?!"

....and I've been crying ever since. DH tried to console me at first but I just felt so unappreciated and....just NOT special.....I know I'm probably over-reacting but the hormones are making me a sobbing mess! Should I overlook it or am I right to be upset?

I'd be upset, too, if DH forgot my birthday. You may be overreacting a little, but he's definitely being an a-hole by forgetting your birthday. Hopefully he does something extra special for you now to make up for his asshattery!

You have EVERY right to be upset. I'd be pi$$ed at DH.

Do you think he really forgot? Maybe he is just pretending bc he has a surprise planned. I can't imagine a husband could really forget a birthday.

This was my thought too and hoping that's the case!

I'm sorry! I would cry too!

I'm lucky that my birthday is two days before DH's, so he can't forget mine unless he forgets his own. :-)

I would be livid, so I think a few tears are totally acceptable. Then again, our DD and I share a birthday PLUS DS's due date is the same day, so if he forgets this year he will be in a sh!t - load of trouble. I am just hoping I am not giving birth on my birthday again, because I really would like to spread out the March birthdays a bit - 3/4 of our family having the same birthday would be a bit much.

Oh, and Happy early birthday to you!

I dont think its a hormone thing...I'd be upset if I wasn't preggers if that happened!

I would be so upset! I too am lucky, my birthday is the day after DH's so he can't forget!

I would be VERY hurt. It would take me a few days to get over it.

DH: "Oh crap! When is your birthday?!"

That is a classic husband response LOL. I would be bawling too. But guys are really nervous too, especially with 1st babies. H told me after the fact that he had been having nightmares that the baby died at birth and was scared to death the few weeks leading up. I would try to cut him some slack, BUT totally expect something great now that I have reminded him.

Well, his excuse later was that he knew my birthday was March 5, but he had just been so distracted with our son's due date and all that he didn't realize that it was THIS weekend. I think my reaction was understandable but under normal circumstances I probably wouldn't have minded so much, just thrown a pillow at him or something! I'm over it now because....I THINK I'm in early labor! I've been having contractions since midnight and now they are 6-8 minutes apart! Fingers crossed that it's the real thing!!!
