Ok I am 45 in a couple of weeks, married for 20-odd years, 2 teenagers. My DH doesn't see the point of celebrating birthdays, to do with his upbringing I think. He will get me a card because he knows he has to but it will be picked up at the garage down the road on his way home from work.
2 years ago it was a normal day, I went to work, cooked tea and washed up, did some ironing, watched telly and went to bed. DS was a bit upset because we hadn't celebrated my birthday.
Last year I said to the kids we would have a takeaway. I had to take everyone's orders, drive to the Indian, get the takeaway and pay. DH just genuinely didn't seem to understand why I was a bit grumpy about this.
DS keeps asking me what my plans are this year. TBH I would like DH to try and make a bit of a effort but at 45 am I just being really silly and blowing this out of all proportion? Oh and then I get everyone at work asking me what I did for my birthday which makes me feel even worse.
