Partner kicked off at birthday gift

A man of 49 really should have reached the point of buying anything he really wants himself and is thus grateful for anything extra OR reached the point of stoicism about birthday and Xmas presents.
I gave my dh a bottle of Scotch for his 50th, he thanked me and went out and bought himself a motorbike!
Can't complain, he'd earned it through years of slog.

This is irrelevant, anyway, as it's clear that with the OP's dh this was just an excuse for him to move out.

No grown adult would be making this much fuss over this.

Have you ever had a girlfriend @shuggles and been with her over one of her birthdays?

Well that just doubles his level cuntytwattery to code red. What a baby. That’s an insult to babies. My DS from the moment he was aware of presents and present giving had always been grateful. Never once so much as moaned. Even now as a teen.

I know that the OP has stated he's 49, but I just want to say that no man of any character, means or substance at this age would give a shiny shite about what anybody else does for his birthday.

He can either afford it himself or is grateful for what he gets.

The making excuses for him because he didn't get what he want is infuriating. Oh poor lamb. Ffs.

Not only is it infuriating but as all of us who have had the misfortune of having manipulative manchild cunts in our lives know, the bastards just look for any f*ing excuse to flip out.

This realisation comes to us sooner or later.
Oh but he liked that food last week but he doesn't this week? And so on.

Either to scare us, assert dominance, keep us off balance or, in this sad sack's case cause he's looking for an excuse to leave.

I hope he stays left.
It might be a good idea to log this outburst with the police.

They won't do anything of course and I honestly wouldn't expect them to but it might be useful in case manchild cunt has another strop.

Foot-stomping, red-faced raging may not be cause for fear when a toddler does it but it sure as heck can be when a grown man does it.

A 50 year old man-cunt-child. That is all.

Just chuck him back into the sea 😂

I can assure you @shuggles “most teens” do receive gifts on their birthdays

would you like to get married and have children one day @shuggles

That is a good point.

Because @shuggles wasn’t “spoilt” on his birthday and made a bit of a fuss from 16/17 on wards - then no one else should be. Or at least if they want to be - then they’re childish.

I would like to think that a hypothetical wife and hypothetical adult children would be more grown up than that.

You bred with this cretin? Trash took itself out.

Well don't let him back in the door for f**k sake. He sounds crazy.

He sounds like an overgrown baby. You asked him what he wanted and instead of saying what he wanted he said nothing but then called you tight because you gave him a £100 voucher. You were perfectly reasonable.

It seems you have no capacity to separate your own experience from other people's and you simply assume that everything that happens to you is 'normal for everyone'. News flash - it's not!

My point was it was probably a blessing that you don’t have a partner and kids

because if they care about their birthdays - then they’d be sorely disappointed.

I did not receive birthday presents in my later teens. Most teens don't. It comes across as rather infantile for a grown person to be receiving birthday presents from mummy and daddy.

There are young children in my family and I buy presents for them.

I think it's unreasonable for anyone over the age of 16 to actually care about what they receive for a birthday

so probably a blessing you don’t have a partner or any teens

No to both, but an unusual question given the topic of the thread.

He needs to stay in his empty house.

You don’t need this sort of shit around your child

Do you have a partner @shuggles ? Children?

He was already planning to leave and has contrived an excuse to make it your fault.

Sounds like he's having a mid life crisis because that reaction is mental.

Is he neurodivergent?

This is sott if thing my 15yr old might do and shes autistic with pda...

Just a thought x

He’s tragic, unhinged and pathetic. Or he’s looking for a reason to split up. Honestly crying over a perfectly good birthday gift would give me the ick so bad. Forget him.

What a pathetic arse. Don’t let him back. Make sure he pays child support.
