To not remind my husband it's my birthday?

[DoneWithThisShizzle]

That's it exactly. It's my birthday in approximately 24 hours and I think he has forgotten. Hasn't asked what I want or snuck anything into the house. I've answered the door to the postie for the past two weeks and taken in nothing that he hasn't opened and shown me.

So as not to dripfeed, it's his mum's birthday the day after, it's a big one, so he's been organising a party for that (not that I think it's a good excuse to forget mine).

Do I remind him? Or not?

I've been following this post with interest in the last few days. So glad it's all worked out well for you in the end! Have a lovely birthday 🎂🎉💐

Enjoy your lemon drizzle, @DoneWithThisShizzle !

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🎂

Oh my god why does it have to be a feckin drama..if he's busy preparing for his mams big birthday good on him and he's simply forgot,yes it's bad but just say it or hint at it,why make him feel bad and then you both have a shitty day when there's no need for it,honestly I just don't understand woman like this if you have a good marriage otherwise

How old will you be?

Happy birthday!
I wouldn't have reminded him. I'd be hurt but I don't need much on my birthday anyway. My husband tends to get me things leading up to my birthday then gets excited and gives them to me early. He's more likely to forget our anniversary... but he has both tattooed on him and still has to look sometimes.

It sounds like it ended well enjoy your day. Leo's love a good drama.

Happy Birthday @DoneWithThisShizzle 🎂

You sound like a lovely person in your replies, kind and with a sense of humour, I hope you had a great time with your best friend yesterday and have a lovely day today, I'm sure they are both lucky to have you in their lives. Wishing you a happy birthday today and all the future years.

Just read the thread!!!!

That sounds like a glorious day! Happy Birthday Op!

Happy birthday! It's my birthday today too... my OH gave me some truly hideous Croc sandals and a pack of industrial washing up gloves.... I kind of wish he'd forgotten my b'day 🤣🤣

It’s the fact he can arrange a big do for mummy that would have me raging! This also means there is a memory anchor of oh your birthday is the day before his mothers!

No need to rage, as he remembered.

And cancel the cheque while you’re at it…. 🙄

Happy birthday.
But you have just prompted me to think I might head off early from work and go sup a suitable cold alcoholic beverage in the sun somewhere nice....

DH and I have no problem talking about our birthdays in advance because we like to buy each other something that we actually want and we like to plan an outing on the day, like a meal out or similar. The side effect of this collaboration is that neither can forget the other's birthday. I don't understand those who refuse to mention it and 'wait and see' if the other one falls into their carefully laid trap. Why spoil what would be a lovely joint treat? People forget stuff, myself included, and it's not necessarily indicative of whether they love you or care about you, or not.

Happy birthday OP - glad it worked out nicely :)

Just popped back to wish you a Happy Birthday @DoneWithThisShizzle and hope you have a great time both today and tomorrow.

Happy birthday @DoneWithThisShizzle! I don’t and will never know you but it felt important to leave a birthday message in case you were forgotten. And happy birthday to all those other PP who share this date with you! 💐🎂

Why are you still assuming he forgot? First you worry that he has forgotten your birthday, because he hasn't mentioned it, now that he mentioned it you wounder who reminded him, Facebook or did he just suddenly remember?..maybe he has known its your birthday this week, why still the assuming he forgot till last minute?

Sorry message sent to wrong person x

Once I’d have waited and felt hurt if it was forgotten.
Now I remind. It makes for a better day all round.

Happy Birthday OP. Hope you enjoyed your day out 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Men are rubbish. Pretty sure mine only remembers mine because our daughter's birthday is same day 😅. Those of us with sons can see the future 😂. Yes, bring it up in a conversation. Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁

Once about 15 years ago because my wife use to get sooo annoyed if dates were forgot, even by children or colleagues I arranged a party for three days after her birthday. I even got her work colleagues to ‘play along’ and no one mentioned her birthday include on facebook. Worked a treat. Maybe he’s forgotten or he’s planned a surprise. Is it really a problem.

Beautiful update @DoneWithThisShizzle and Happy Birthday!!!
