DH didn't say Happy Birthday to me.....

[Anonymous]

Happy birthday, OP.

FWIW, we both forgot about our anniversary. Again. DH remembered as I was trying to put shoes on our wiggly toddler to go out. Like, shit, it's our anniversary today! Happy anniversary, honey, now grab the ball and let's go

I forget dates all the time. Maybe DH was preoccupied with something else and simply forgot. It happens.

In case this makes you feel better, op: My husband got me a box of chocolate for my last birthday. I had given up chocolate for lent, which he should have known because we talked about out a few times in varying contexts and I had removed all chocolate from the pantry in attempts to be good. But I regrettably yielded to temptation and tried a piece. Broke my Lent resolution on rancid chocolate (the almonds turned). Told husband thanks for the thought, but he might want to return it to the boutique because it was spoiled. He said, oh, no I can't I bought it two Valentine's ago.

Lol - that made me laugh!

be specific. Don't be passive aggressive. Tell him what you want from him. Men are clueless - doesn't mean he doesn't love you.

If you ask for what you want and he balks or complains? the you have a bigger issue.

See, I disagree with this.

DH knows me well enough and things I like and don't like. And it's been proven when he does things like "I stopped by dunking donuts and got your favorite donut along with your coffee" - type things.

Of Op's kids are singing and hugging then DH is deaf, embarrassed he forgot,

He knows it's your birthday because the kids hugged you...are you sure about that? I'm surprised that your kids remembered...usually that's something that the other parent reminds them of. I'm guessing he had a surprise planned for you.

Let us know how it turned out. Did he do something nice for you?
