DH forgot my birthday :(

My brother called me last night after midnight to wish me a happy birthday.  DH just sat there and was like, wait what day is it?  I thought I had the weekend.... now today he hasn't even wished me a happy birthday or had the kids say happy birthday to me.  Its basically a regular saturday, get things done around the house.  I never expect much from him but this hurts :(

just needed to get that off my chest.

    That sucks, but did you tell him?  Tell him what you wanted, what you wanted to do?

    That sucks.  But rather than ignore it and keep your frustration bottled up I would say something to him.

    I know your pain. Happens in my house all the time.  Happy birthday and try to enjoy your day!! Maybe tell him you're headed out for a while on your own to celebrate your birthday and see what he says.  Good luck.

    Absolutely this.  Go get a pedi, or to Starbucks with a nice book to have some down time.  My DH forgot my birthday one time (he'd been working 7 days/wk) but he felt SO bad and was very apologetic.  Sounds like your DH isn't even trying, and that's not very kind, esp. when he knows you'd like to do.

    I don't remember WHAT you used to post but I do remember it always left me thinking "Man, I wish they would get counseling/she would move on"  This just adds to that feeling for me!  :(

     

    Sorry he's a douche -- I hope you are able to have some what of a Happy Birthday!

     This. Sorry he forgot and I hope you're able to take some time to yourself and enjoy your day despite his thoughtlessness!

    Happy Birthday to you! I am so sorry your H is an asshat. You really do deserve so much better, I wish you believed this yourself.

    Go celebrate. Do something nice for you. :-)

    Today is my birthday too.  My husband remembered, but despite telling me he was going to plan something (it's my 40th) I ended up having to plan dinner with friends tonight at the last minute.  He also didn't get me a card or gift or anything.  Then he's sick this weekend (a f'ing cold... wimp) and we had to cancel our/my plans.

     I left and got a mani/pedi and left the kids with him this afternoon.  He did go out and get a cake and hats and plates while I was gone.  Not enough.... Angry

     

    Happy Birthday!

    Oh, hells no....Sorry your DH is such a jerk :(  HAPPY BIRTHDAY Party!!!

     FWIW, I always have HIGH expectations for my bday since I go all out for everyone else's bdays.  I make it clear what I want/ expect. If DH did nothing, he would be signing some annullment papers!!

    Thanks all.  I had a baby shower to go to for  bit this afternoon so that took up some of the day.  While I was gone he realized he didn't actually MISS my birthday he just got it mixed up with yesterday or something like that so then he was mad at me for a while (I guess I made him feel bad some how)  Not really sure how that works.  While I was gone he went out and got me a present(not the one I sent him a link to a month ago) and said we will do something nice next weekend.  In his defense I know he is sick but I really would have just loved a really sincere happy birthday and maybe even a home made card from the boys.  He was feeling pretty crappy tonight so the boys and I went to my brothers house for dinner with my family and I my SIL was able to get a couple jabs in about how I should be watching the boys better so that was nice.  I was able to end the night prepping for a birthday cake I am making for my neighbor tomorrow.  That should turn out pretty nice though.   Well off to bed so I can pretend today never happened.

    Wow. I'm sorry. That all really sucks. I hope you can find some strength to stand up for yourself, because that's what it's going to take.
