I think FI forgot my birthday!!!

Here's to hoping he's got something up his sleeve!!!

And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Ok so he looks in the fridge and sees the leftover Panera bagels I brought into work for my birthday treat (yes weird..we bring treats in for our birthdays) and he's like..what is this?? I can't help it and say "It's leftover from work today what I brought in for my birthday" He says jokingly "your what" I then say in a loud pissed off tone "my BIRTHDAY!" I think he got the hint then. So, he takes the trash out and I go upstairs to vent and take a cool shower. I get out and now he's gone..I'm sure to the store to buy me a card..but he doesn't get it that I don't really want it now. The point is that you thought of me yourself to get me one or even say it without being prodded..so now it's just going to piss me off!! Not sure what to say...

By the way..thanks you guys..you all have made me feel great for all the Happy Birthdays and encouragement!! You are the best! I think I'm going to go make myself a stiff birthday drink

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! have you asked him if he forgot? maybe he's secretly planning something for it and only pretending that he forgot.

oh no! i just read your last post I'm sorry hun...we're here for you if you need cheering up

Hey, Happy Birthday!!!

When he gets back, just tell him he can make it up to you by taking you out to a REALLY nice restaurant on Saturday night. I wouldn't let it go. I would milk this as long as I could. LOL!!!

Happy Birthday!!!!

And I cheers to that!!!

Ok, so he comes in and I can see the birthday card and then he goes in the kitchen..I'm not even looking at him I'm just writing to you guys and in between slamming my drink. So then he goes, "Come in here I have something for you...." I'm like "No, it's too late now...you've lost the whole point of it" He hands me a card that is a picture of a piece of cake on the front .and then reaches in the fridge and goes and to go with it--and he pulls out my favorite kind of ice cream from our local custard place. He tried to say he bought the card before..I don't think so. So, I say thanks and give him a kiss and then I say I have to get back to bashing him on my BDW website..ha He's like..no you wouldn't do that..I'm like yes. It's just very hurtful sometimes.

It's funny because last year he didn't have as many reminders and I was actually going to be gone on my birthday for my friend's bachelorette party in Vegas..and he hid a really pretty pink sapphire (he knew I liked that stone) with diamond ring from Helzberg in my suitcase along with a b-day card. Which was very sweet and the card said the next ring will be bigger...so that was even sweeter!! Because I knew it meant he was thinking of proposing soon...So, he just doesn't get it that all I really wanted was for him to tell me Happy Birthday or give me a card without me telling him. So, now he goes upstairs and I stay downstairs watching Oprah and

grrr. i hate when they don't get it, it's not the actual card or present now, it's the principle!

i say milk it. for a LONG time, like till next april 28th!

anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

The way I see it, you've got some great leverage now. Hmm, what else can you get out of this?
