[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Zero effort on anything is a red flag. Find out what his and your "love language" is and have him express his love in any of the 5 love languages (book by I think Gary Chapman).

I personally don't care much on celebrating specific days. My DH wanted to go on a guys trip and the dates overlapped with our 10 year anniversary. I said Sure, go. This is because he is a loving caring husband in our every day lives. I don't need him to prepare anything for my birthday Christmas Valentine's or anniversary though I prepare some on his. He hardly does anything but show up for our two young kids birthday parties that I meticulously prepare for. But I don't begrudge him that either. Both of our love languages are "acts of service" and we each express that sufficiently 365 days a year.[/quote]

To recap my own post, I'd be ok celebrating the kid birthday some other day if he values game night that much. But he does need to express his love for his wife and kids some other way. The book I mentioned classifies the 5 love languages. It's interesting to find out how your spouse ranks the five. [/quote]
