Birthday was last Monday, not a milestone birthday or anything, DH just got me a card and said sorry didn't have time to get anything else. I thought he might have got me a bottle of wine/takeaway or something after work but nothing. Anyway, I haven't made anything of it, but one week on and I STILL feel upset, also my 5 year old son was upset on the day because he didn't have a present or card for me, of course I reasurred him that he had nothing to worry about!
Part of me thinks just get over it and that I am being childish but I still feel inexplicalbly hurt and upset. Just for the record my DH works part-time (15 hrs a week) and so do I (26 hours a week) but I also so overtime at nights and weekends to make up the money which allows us both to stay part-time if you see what I mean. My life-savings depleted 10 years ago when (before we were married) DH gave up his full time job because of stress and anxiety. I supported him (in all ways) through this and am happy with our situation now as we can spend loads of time with our little boy, however I am starting to feel like a total MUG becuase I get so very little apprecitation.
I don't know how to tell DH that I am upset about this without sounding like a a shallow selfish bitch. Sorry I have rambled on but AIBU to still be upset about something as petty as no birthday present when I am well into my 40s!
