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.

"How many men have come home and tried to have sex with their wife very pissed give him a break"

There's trying to initiatiate sex, and then there's being pushy about it. It sounds like it was the latter in this case. And swearing at their wives when they say no? While their children are asleep in the bed next to their wife? I hope not very many.

MrsTerryPratchett · 29/07/2017 18:04

How many men have come home and tried to have sex with their wife very pissed give him a break.. Mine might. He wouldn't take my pillow or tell me to fuck off if he got turned down though. Coz he's not an enormous arsehole.

Chipsahoy · 29/07/2017 18:28

If my dh told me to fuck off our marriage would be over. Telling you to fuck off because you wouldn't sleep with him is bordering on abusive.

Anaffaquine123 · 30/07/2017 16:23

Thanks for all the replies. I had a lovely day with my girls. I ignored the very hungover idiot. We went looking for fairies, had a nice lunch and a play in the park. We arrived home after 5pm and he was still in bed. 😤
My sister brought over a Chinese takeaway and we ate that and I went to bed. He has previously gone out on a bender then behaved like a moron but not often. It just really pissed me off with his timing.
He has been very sheepish and apologetic today but he isn't getting off that easily. I will remember how little he cared when his birthday comes.
Thank goodness my girls and sister made it special.

A belated happy birthday from me! Cake
Glad you had a nice day with your sister and DC. Sorry your DH was an arse. Hope he makes it up to you. Don't let him off easily!

MrsTerryPratchett · 30/07/2017 16:31

Thank goodness my girls and sister made it special. That's lovely. Glad the day was rescued.

JackTwist · 30/07/2017 16:43

He sounds a delight. Well done there

What's this mean?

AvoidingCallenetics · 30/07/2017 16:54

So he fucked up your anniversary and your birthday! Seriously, why are you still with this twat?
I'd give him divorce papers for his birthday!

sourgrapes28 · 30/07/2017 17:00

Glad you had a lovely day op, definitely consider yourself a spa weekend on his birthday ( paid for by him ) and the Dc can stay with him.

Aeroflotgirl · 30/07/2017 17:02

What a dickhead he is, pleased you managed to enjoy it, without him. He needs to be making it up to you big time. You need to sit down with him and tellnhim exactly how he made you feel.

Aeroflotgirl · 30/07/2017 17:03

For his birthday, treat him like he treated you. Ignore it and go put with your friends.

Buthewasstillhungry · 30/07/2017 17:05

Sorry but this is showing a huge amount of disrespect to you and for me would be a reason to split up.
You do t want your kids thinking this is a kind way to treat people.

Happy birthday and welol done for rising above it and enjoying it anyway

MrsMozart · 30/07/2017 17:07

Glad you had a nice time sans idiot 'D'H.

inlectorecumbit · 30/07/2017 17:21

Sounds like the apple isn't falling too far from the tree ( l thinkl l am right about your IL's)
Hope you are keeping better since DD2 arrived and thank goodness your lovely sister and you have each other.
Belated happy birthday Flowers

chunn65 · 30/07/2017 17:26

It's my birthday today too. Ignore him and go out with your children. My teens just about got me a card, then said are we all going out to tea later can we choose! Let him feel guilty!!

sandelf · 30/07/2017 17:28

Yep. You can only hurt yourself minding about all this. Get busy, have a good day. I'm sure you'll have time to catch up on DH's day sometime - meanwhile live your life! Do not waste any energy hoping for apologies or nice presents. Just enjoy yourself.

Ceebs85 · 30/07/2017 17:38

What's he done to mark your anniversary and Birthday? Glad you had a good day with your girls xx

IrritatedUser1960 · 30/07/2017 17:44

Sorry but it looks to me that he just could not be bothered to do anything for your 20th anniversary and your birthday so just went out and got blind drunk as an avoidance issue.
Did you actually get a card or a decent gift for either of these occasions or did he just get you nothing. Grovelling and being "sorry" is not exactly a well thought out gift planned in advance.
I'm bloody fuming for you, I want to come over and kick him in the bollox.

GoldfishCrackers · 30/07/2017 17:45

Happy birthday CakeBrewWine
How often does he go out and get pissed?
What was the plan for yesterday? Was it meant to be a session?
Has he ever before tried to huff/wheedle/whine/tell you to fuck off if you don't want sex?
I guess I'm trying to understand if this is a one-off or not.

GoldfishCrackers · 30/07/2017 17:46

Still being in bed at 5pm doesn't sound very grovelling to meHmm

AtrociousCircumstance · 30/07/2017 17:49

Make sure you let him know that you will be treating his birthday with exactly the same lack of care.

Wanker.

crazykitten20 · 30/07/2017 17:50

Most of the time my h is lovely and thoughtful.

I hope so. Because he sounds like a twat to me.

AdalindSchade · 30/07/2017 17:50

He got wasted on your anniversary, sexually harassed you and told you to fuck off at 3.30am and spent your birthday hungover and asleep?
This is a good guy according to you?

fruitlovingmonkey · 30/07/2017 17:52

How did you put up with this dickhead for 20 years?

Happy birthday anyway!

SweetErmengarde · 30/07/2017 17:58

What Adalind said.

His idea of celebrating your anniversary is going out without you and getting so wasted he's useless the whole next day?

I'd have been ready to kill him for that alone; the harassment at 3AM followed by the non-participation in your birthday would have clinched it.

Happy belated birthday OP. I'm glad your day was rescued in the end.
