Am I the mug? Emma Bridgewater saga...

[NoMoreMsPushover]

A couple of months ago, took DP and DP's sister to the Emma Bridgewater Factory in Stoke. Bloody brilliant day. Made me proud to be British, and really enjoyed learning about the Victorian history of pottery in Stoke. Can't wait to go back.

It was a day out for DP's sister's birthday. She's usually great. But am a bit peeved, to be quite honest, that my birthday came and went a few weeks ago, and nary a message received by me - on my big day (it was a milestone birthday), or after.

AIBU to be expecting at least a little thought? Or am I being taken for a mug? Especially after I paid for her to paint a custom Emma Bridgewater mug? Not sure how to feel about it all...

Thanks loves.

Hello Mumsnetters, Just wanted to give you a bit of an update as I found all your advice so valuable. I had a serious talk (one might even call it a breakdown) with my DP and shared how I had been feeling taken for granted and part of the furniture in his life really. He was shocked and had no idea that I'd been feeling this way - we've started therapy together (Gottman, so quite broad and kicking the tyres on our whole relationship, which is great) and it's been really helpful so far, even just a couple of sessions in. Problems still there, but at least there's some hope and some sense of sharing and alignment.

Wishing you all a lovely Sunday Afternoon. Was really due to you lovely ladies opening my eyes and prompting me to action. Thank you

But what about your sister in law????
