hi there.

feeling a bit lost in my feelings at the moment.
i had a realy rubbish birthday yesterday and i really needed a pick me up because the baby nights are relentless.am i being too harsh?
i woke up no attempt at breakfast. went to get my hair cut which i payed for. lovely. nothing for lunch. he gets back from work and makes himself toast and nothing for me. i am breastfeeding. the evening arrives and he annouces he has bought a steak but could i cook it. no wine and when i say thats a shame( we usually have a glass) he does not offer to nip out instead he says there is some cooking brandy left over from christmas.

this is my first birthday with him and i thought he might make more effort since i am exausted looking after our lovely baby. we split everything moneywise.

What does he do to help look after the baby? You should not be doing it all alone. He sounds very selfish - did he even acknowledge that it was your birthday?

Happy Birthday for yesterday! Sorry it was a crap one for you.

'That's a shame'....????? Hmm That's all you said after he made zero effort to mark your birthday and acts like a selfish, uncaring shit? 'That's a shame'? You may be tired OP but you've got to find a backbone from somewhere and read this loser the Riot Act. Is this the normal way he behaves?

What the actual fuck Shock

Sorry, but that is god awful.

Did he acknowledge it at all ?

So sorry you had such a shit birthday so soon after the arrival of your baby. I was single on mine, 2 weeks after having DS and I was so tired that I spent the whole bloody day crying & can't imagine how much worse I'd have felt if I had a partner who ignored it on top of all that

Wine happy belated birthday anyway!

Do you normally buy your own food as I think that is very strange and selfish.
