A little birthday rant and a tear or two

Ugh. It was good today waking up knowing that I didn't have to wait to feel let down at some point, by his inability/unwillingness to plan anything for my birthday.

I'm one to celebrate birthdays and make an effort, he used to be, until he wasn't (although he never was, really).

But here we are and he's still managed to put a dampener on my day. I've got plans with friends later. And booked the day off work to just relax.

However since we're living in the house together still, he still features in my day. We need to sell the house. He's got unrealistic expectations re obtainable price and is angry at me for wanting a quick sale. I don't want to give it away but I just want to move on. Accept a lower price. Adjust expectations of future living standards and get on. But know, he's still got to control everything. I'm just fed up of being happy and positive about everything and nothing moving on.

Sorry, feeling self indulgent sorry for myself. Hopefully by next birthday this will be a distant memory.
