[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So far, nothing from my dh. [b]He knows cards mean a lot to me.[/b] Going to try not to snap and give it time. Hoping he’s going to head out later today to pick up a card, wilted flowers. Something. Anything.

I’m crying in the bathroom. So disappointed.

Even a “good morning! happy mother day, we love you” little sing song would’ve been nice.

So hard to not be nasty and mean right now. I’m so disappointed.[/quote]

If he does actually understand this, then he is enjoying being cruel to you on purpose and there is nothing you can do. More likely, you've told him but he just doesn't get it. Which is self centered and mildly jerky, but different than being intentionally cruel.

I have a self centered DH as well. Many, many sad days when I actually still cared. But I have made my peace with the situation by having no expectations of him. I felt myself starting to get sad in anticipation of my crappy MD yesterday, and responded by getting myself a gift while I was out getting errands. I texted him "I'm getting my Mother's Day gift while I'm out, but tomorrow lets make pancakes with the kids". So that is our plan for the day, and I am fine with it.

OP, I strongly recommend rather than sitting around waiting to see if he will do something for you, you tell him what you want. "It's Mother's Day, and I'd like to celebrate. Can you pick up some take out, flowers, and a card for tonight?"[/quote]
