Soon to be divorced Husband spending milestone birthday on his own

Hi, im soon to be divorced from my Husband, I have bought a new house and hope to be moved in by the new year. We are splitting up because he never gave me any real attention and we had a sexless marriage where I felt more like house mates than Husband and Wife. He's always been a bit of a loner but yet normally goes skiing with his friends on his birthday. In a couple of weeks he is 50...I asked him when he was going away and he said he's not and it's just another day...now I feel guilty that he's going to be on his own. Am I wrong in feeling this way? I on the other hand am quite sociable and have lots of family and friends, I've been asked to go on a girls shopping trip that day yet feel like I can't leave him alone, especially on a milestone birthday, what should I do?

Sorry but a man who avoided you on every birthday he could gets your company now?

No.

So you're saying he didn't give you enough attention when you were together and that was why you asked for a divorce but now you're worried about not giving HIM enough attention? How is that logical?Hmm

It was nice of you to ask, he answered you don't have to be guilty at all if you choose to do something that would be nice and normal,if not fine!!!!

As for other posters I don't get the dramatic 'he is guilty tripping you' sagas.

The op asked, he answered why all backstory of what he is thinking?

Sounds like you’re trying to revive a dead relationship. Just let it go.
