My husband turns 40 tomorrow. He has always hated his birthday - he told me when we first got together that it wasn’t anything he ever celebrated. I respected it but it was always something quite alien to me.
Ive always wanted to celebrate him and when children came along, we did a little more celebrating but it was never a huge day.
Tomorrow he turns 40 and he has categorically told me and my/his family that he isn’t celebrating or even acknowledging the day. He doesn’t want presents, cards, happy birthdays…nothing.
We had quite a large argument last week that we have even spending these last few days recovering from and I believe part of the issue is that. But does anyone else have a hubby like this? He doesn’t enjoy fuss being made of him, he hates attention so even if this was a “normal” birthday, he wouldn’t have wanted too much fuss.
Im so anxious about how tomorrow is going to go. Our daughter doesn’t quite understand and has prepared a card and made him a gift which he said he will accept. I’ve put his card in the cupboard and don’t plan to give it to him. Am I making this about me as I’m so sad about it and I can’t work out if he is or not!?
Urgh I just want tomorrow over with!
