Skipping Wife's Birthday

So my wife's birthday is Friday. I'm not acknowledging it. No dinner, no gift, and I'll do my best to pretend I'm unaware.
We had a tiff three days before fathers' day (about something she was 100% wrong about) and she ignored fathers day. Nothing from the kids, no dinner, nothing. When I mentioned it the following day she said, and I quote "Why would I celebrate someone who was being a jerk?" Again, it's indisputable that she was wrong. She's just that stubborn. Anyway- just airing it out there. I'll let you know how it goes. |

| Congrats you’re very petty? |

| Wow, a passive aggressive tit-for-tat. Wonderfully mature, just like adults. You'll definitely stay married forever. |

| Well, I can tell you how it goes. You will be one step further to divorce. I guess making this point is better than trying to better your relationship? Go to therapy, either to save your marriage or to end it as amicably as possible. |

| You're both immature. I don't see your marriage lasting. |

| Good to see you’re being mature, not holding grudges, and doing the repair work needed for your relationship. Spoiler alert: it won’t go well. |

Maybe take the high road and make a small gesture (small simple gift).
Presumably you've both been giving each other the cold shoulder since June? |

This is OP. Ironically, we just had our 21st anniversary. |

Well technically speaking your kids are the ones who really ignored you for Father’s Day. I wonder why, hmm… |

Google “Grey divorce”. You didn’t like it when your wife skipped Father’s Day. It hurt your feelings. Did you not teach your children some version of “do unto others/treat people as you’d like to be treated”? |

That's not how fathers day works, especially with younger kids. I bet you want us to believe your 8 year old DD cooked you filet mignon on fathers day and got you a new graphite hybrid driver, right?

| Op I’m I. Your corner. Never come on this board and expect support from these bitter women. Your wife can celebrate her bd however she wants. But she owes you an apology. If she says anything, and she will, wish her a happy Father’s Day. I suspect this is t the first time she threw your emotions under the bus, thus your response. Time for her to change. |
