To feel teary over a stupid bloody birthday.

For the past 5 years I have been away with work on my birthday. This year I am not, dh arrived home very early this morning after his night shift and went straight to bed which is absolutely fine he's shattered.

I went to visit my parents, my dad was in a foul mood and made sure we all knew it. I left shortly before 3pm when my dh would normally now be up.

I arrived home, he's not showered in his slops eating toast..fine, except we had agreed we would go for a late lunch and perhaps a walk afterwards. Didn't happen, he reclined and watched more repeats of the Big Bang theory until I finally said at 4.30 as we'd missed lunch perhaps we could go for dinner.

It's just a day, it's not a big birthday and lots of people spend it working etc but AIBU to wish that dh had made more of an effort to acknowledge my birthday? My birthday present from him was chosen by my 10 yr dsd which although nice he hadn't given me any thought.

Just feel disappointed Sad

Why not suggest you start afresh and treat tomorrow as your birthday? No need to make a massive speech, just say 'Hey, today was a pretty run-of-the-mill day so I feel like making tomorrow a special one as part of my birthday celebrations. Where shall we go?'

I was so pissed off with my family over my birthday this year, so you have my sympathy.
