Had an argument with my partner, my birthday today but doesn't feel like a good day. We are in process of buying a house so agreed we wouldn't spend much this year on birthdays. My partner booked a last minute trip away for us from Yorkshire to Great Yarmouth for a night Saturday to Sunday. However he forgot to drop off cats at cattery on his day off Friday so we couldn't set off till after 10am, he was then getting stressed on the journey down with me because he nearly ran out of petrol 10 miles into journey. when we finally got there after 5 hrs driving, we went to the promenade and really only thing to do was amusements. He didn't want to take part in amusements or rides like dodgems said it 'was for kids' managed to talk him into crazy golf and he went on log fume ride that was it. Wasn't much else to do there other then that so went back to hotel then we went to cinema and I paid for a takeaway. Sunday he woke up in a mood and irritable. Again he didn't want to take part in anything to we just walked from one pleasure beach to the other and then went to car. He said did I want to stop off at another seaside spot but I couldn't be bothered so we came home. I thought maybe he was tired with driving and had something planned today. But nothing. He went to Tescos at top of our street this morning for a card and cake for me, no presents and then said shall we go to Leeds to go in amusements! Wtf! I just couldn't believe his lack of effort, had an argument with him and he's stormed out calling me some horrible names and saying I'm childish for being upset about the birthday, saying we said we wouldn't do much. But it's not the money at all, it's the lack of effort from him to make memorable. I don't know what to say to him. Anyway it's a rubbish day, wish I had organised to do something with someone else.
