Hi.
Looking for a female perspective.
It was my birthday a few weeks ago. My wife (of 14 years) completely forgot. She only remembered when my daughters wished me a happy birthday in the morning.
She went and wrote the card there and then.
We had a couple of hours in the morning together where she barely said a word to me (not in a nasty way. I think she just wanted to watch TV) then went to work (i had the day off). When she came home she came in, complained that she was hot and tired, ate and then went straight to bed without a second thought.
Am i being unreasonable by feeling a little hurt?
We aren't big on birthdays but i always try to make her feel a bit special.
We have a great relationship and are close do i am not concerned about any possible underlying issues.
I know its only minor compared with all the terrible stuff going on in the world.
Would welcome a female perspective.
