[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, were birthdays a big thing in your husband's family?  My husband doesn't do much for my birthday, but also doesn't expect anything for his.  They never really did birthdays in his house growing up after the age of six or so, so to him, this seems normal.  I just explained that we do a lot for birthdays in my family, and tried to explain to him that although I don't want a big thing, I do want some celebration (a cake and dinner out with our family at a local restaurant).  He still thinks it is really abnormal to dcelbrate an adult birthday, but he does it anyway, and has even agred to let our family recognize his birthday by buying an ice cream cake.[/quote]

So initially this was the problem. His family just did a small birthday cake and a gift of some sort. I'm more in line with his family on that front. The first few couple of years that we were together I expected nothing but politely mentioned that I like small token of appreciations for birthdays: a card or gift & explained that it makes me feel appreciated.

He got MUCH better over the past few years but then suddenly dropped off this year. That's why I'm so disappointed & hurt.

I realize that I need to move on. Venting makes it easier [/quote]
