AIBU?

Happy fucking birthday to me

AIBU to be pissed off? My h, not dh right now, went out yesterday afternoon for work drinks. I did stuff with the kids. It was hot, they found it difficult to get to sleep and ended up in our bed with me. The three year old performing bloody somersaults, kicking me in the head. I had very little sleep. I was either putting them back to bed like boomerangs or being kicked in the head.
H gets home at 3:30am and says, "what? I'm home aren't i. It isn't even late!"
I rolled my eyes too knackered to respond.
He grabs my pillow and tries to get me to go through to the spare room with him for sex. I say no, I'm shattered, he reeks of booze and is drunk. He told me to, "fuck off" then collapsed onto the bed snoring loudly.
I move him to spare room, away from the kids.
6:30 - the kids are up and full of beans. I'm up have given them breakfast. The older one is upset because she doesn't know where my present is to give to me.
8:30 and he still won't get up and hasn't given them the presents to give to me. I now have two sad kids who want to give me a brilliant birthday and I am exhausted.
I suppose I will have to just suck it up when he does finally decide to get up for the kids sake. I want them to be able to give me my present as they wish. I think they have made me something! After that though, I'm taking the kids out and he isn't welcome today.
To top it all, yesterday was our 20th anniversary too.
Most of the time my h is lovely and thoughtful. Every so often he acts like an arsehole though. If I say anything I'm apparently just nagging.
Happy fucking birthday to me.

Go out. Buy yourself something fabulous, eat loads. Meet friends. Make your husband pay for his behaviour for weeks on end. It's almost worth it! Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday, OP, and i am sorry to hear your H is being such an enormous dick.

Do what you want today. If you can manage it, go to that restaurant you've always fancied, take the kids, and leave H behind. Stay out if you want, come home if you want, spend the household money like you were a middle-aged man out drinking on your wedding anniversary when you should have been home...

If he's watching the telly when you get back and it's not something you enjoy, change the channel. This is your day.

Happy Birthday to you! CakeFlowersStar

Have a lovely day out with the kids and leave him to sleep it off. If he's a good bloke he'll feel like shit! And hopefully make amends. But don't let him ruin your day!
A bit early but cheers! Gin

Do you have a cinema that does a cheap kids morning show? Head out for breakfast then to that. Then maybe the park. You can dose in cinema...

Happy birthday 💐🎂🍾

VERB
nagging (present participle)
harass (someone) constantly to do something that they are averse to:
As you can see, telling him he's an arsehole and treating him as such is not nagging. He's not averse to being an arsehole, he is a fucking arsehole!

Take the kids out and enjoy your day with them. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Cake

I agree with Smeaton I wouldn't be able to forive that.
My husband left me right before our 15th anniversary and just before I was due to go into hospital for a major operation so I had to ring round ALL my friends and cancel the party and get a £50 taxi to hospital with the zero money in the bank account he had left me.
One year later he is begging to come home becasue his new life didn't work out. Fucking tough mate.
How hard is it to celebrate your 20th anniversary and your wife's birthday gracefully without being a twat. I'd dump him personally.
I hope you manage to have some good times today and happy birthday Flowers
Let us know how this unfolds, I am dying to know.

I'll join the chorus. Go do something you will really enjoy and that means you get to enjoy your kids today. Leave dh to it.

He told you to fuck off because you wouldn't have sex with him?

At 3.40 am when he's drunk and you're trying to sleep?

OP your birthday is the least of your worries.

Well what an absolute twat of a man.

Yes, I too would go out with the kids. Somewhere for breakfast and then soft play or something.

This is another one of those threads where "this is a one off little tizzy" type events are basically less than 5% what I'd put up with from mine.

Going out by himself on your anniversary?

'Let him know he has the kids all day tomorrow and book yourself a spa day!'

Mumsnet's cure for everything. Also, seriously, you've clearly never been in a situation where 'telling' a disinterested, cold, unloving, sexually aggressive man that 'he has the kids all day' could risk the safety of all involved. They don't just morph into lovely, caring fathers because their wives vanish for the day. Real life isn't an 80s comedy.

you have been married to a dick for 20 years, I wouldn't celebrate that, I'd give myself a birthday gift of imagining the next 20 years with him and then think what I'm going to do about it.

the worst thing about these op's is the inevitable line of "he's a good dad/husband most of the time and we get on really well"

thats when you know the poster has had a bloody good number done on her

Fuck him. Go out somewhere nice with the kids and let him wake up to an empty house. Maybe even find a nice hotel to stay in overnight, give him a real fright.

Whatever you do, have a lovely birthday with your kids 🎂
