Birthday disappointment

Now who do you tell when your own DH upsets and disappointments you so much. I have family and friends but I never say negative things about my husband with my family it's because I don't want them worrying about me and with friends it's because I am well embarrassed.
It was my birthday today, my H knows how precious I am about my birthday, call me childish but I am. It's only our third year of marriage and 4th of my birthdays together and he got me nothing. Absolutely nothing. Not even a card from our baby. I'm so upset and can't hide my disappointment.
We argue often about our baby and routines what I feed him etc but I thought all this was normal. He keeps asking what's wrong. Because I'm struggling to keep a brave face. I'm just so shocked.
He "apparently" did have something planned for us but because we had lunch with my family for my bday he didn't want to go out again.
I'm only know starting to realise I'm falling out of love with him, maybe I have already.
Another thing which upsets me is no one in his family ever wishes me happy bday. And I know they obviously don't know when it is or don't care but on his bday I tell all my family to txt him.

OP he’s also grabbed you and screamed at you. What is stopping you leaving? Just think about the environment your child is growing up in. No child should witness their father grabbing their mother or seeing how uncaring and unappreciated they are. They will copy this. Are their cultural issues at play here?

The only person who can change something here is you, you need to do it for yourself and your child.
