Ignored on my birthday

I have a bad marriage. I am trapped and digging my way out slowly but surely.

Meanwhile its my birthday, he has been working from home all day. Usually he comes out of the office to nitpick on me, however today he kept himslef so busy that he did not get to utter the 2 words 'Happy Birthday'.

However, I have few family and few friends who wish me and call me every year and wish. I had a card from my daughter and wishes from friends and my sister and my mum. No gifts, but I love that people care and remember my birthday. Thats a valuble gift I can ask for :).

Dont know why I am posting, may be just letting it out. I am not very sad that he didnt wish, he actually made my will power to leave stronger, but probably I feel disappinted that there are millions of men who wish and do things for their wives and I am stuck with the one who willing chose not to.

Goodnite all :)

I made a vow the Xmas before last that that would be the last one he ruined. I'm a year free of him and this Xmas was lovely and stress free. Set that as a goal.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday OP!

I’ve had similar and it really does make you feel rubbish but says more about them than it does us.

Heres hoping your next birthday is a much happier one!

Happy birthday! Try and view that as an unintentional gift - to strengthen your resolve and not let another full year pass being married to someone so awful.

you deserve much better.
