It's my birthday tomorrow...

...and it appears my DH has forgotten.

He just offered to switch his fishing day from Thursday to tomorrow as I'm taking our niece and nephew out for the day on Thursday. He offered twice - no inkling as to why I said no.

I guess that's no card or present from him tomorrow, no restaurant booked. I will get a present from DD who is six, because I picked and ordered it myself.

To add insult to injury - I'm forty tomorrow. So a 'big' birthday. When he turned forty I took him abroad for four days. I am having a party later this month - that I've organised myself.

I'm genuinely gutted. Is it irrational to feel this will damage our marriage?

Thank you for the birthday wishes!

I've been thoroughly spoilt: breakfast, cards, presents, visitors, more cards, more presents... Heading out for late lunch shortly.

Phew, resolved! Happy birthday! CakeThanks

I had a recent c section and a newborn dd on Mother's Day this year and my dp didn't get me a card or present and just made us all go to his mum's for lunch and hours drive away. Because I had made a passing comment earlier in the year that Mother's Day was a bit silly really. CF! He hasn't lived that one down yet!
