Feel sad and let down on my bday.

DS has his bday a few days before mine, so I organised us a joint party at home, i did all the planning, inviting, organising etc. My DP helped the day before and the day of the party. It was yesterday and was great fun. But my actual birthday is today and i assumed he would have something planned. Just a lunch, or a family outing. Nothing. He got me some predictable gifts but i do like them. However its just internet shopping. He didn't take our sons out to get their mum a gift, there was no card with carefully chosen loving words. He even said he was going to spend the arvo at his gym/spa. He didn't, but he moaned that he hasn't been in ages so really should go. On my birthday????!!!! I suggested going out to a light festival this evening but he said HE would be too tired. I didn't say anything but the emotion got to me and i did cry, bit he was quite cranky with me and i clammed up. I later told him that i'm hurt that he didn't organise or want to do anything special. Now we've not spoken all evening and i feel bloody sad.

He probably thought that yesterday's celebration covered it (even though you organised it).He got you some gifts that you like. Unless it was a Big Birthday, he probably did enough (although I wouldn't be too happy if he'd gone off to the gym tbh)!

Haply birthday OP.
Flowers
He did get you gifts that you like...
Do you usually make it a thing?
Maybe time to play his birthday down too, and make plans for yourself for your next birtbday, so you can celebrate how you want.

there was no card with carefully chosen loving words.

Hang on, I'm supposed to receive a card with carefully chosen loving words on my birthday?!
