Evening all.
I'm in need of unbiased thoughts, as I'm not sure whether my reaction is disproportionate.
It's my birthday today, and it's the first one DP has been here for in four years as he works away.
He had to go back to work tonight, so I suggested we went out for birthday dinner at the weekend so he could leave at a reasonable time tonight. We went, it was lovely.
Today we went for chips before he left. My suggestion again, because it's quick.
Here's where I need opinions.
He didn't get me a card, and he says my gift is on its way.
I didn't realise there was nothing at all until he was leaving and I got upset.
It's been a bad day anyway. I lost my dad two months ago, and my aunt died this morning.
I'm not seeing family until the weekend so, aside from a few cards, I've not had anything.
People keep asking me what I got, and I don't know what to say.
DP thinks I'm being unfair because we went out for dinner.
I make a big deal of his birthdays, and I just feel shit.
