[quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's wrong to expect DH to celebrate your birthday if you care about it (which you clearly do - I care about my birthday, too). But I agree with PPs that you have to give him clear direction about what you want. Like, I want this present and I want us to go out to dinner to a nice restaurant, how about this one. I have been married 10 years and with DH for 15+ and he's HORRIBLE about birthdays and special occasions bc he just doesn't really care about them. But he now gets that I care about them and will do what I explicitly request. We've had some bummer years back when I expected him to do something special without my input and I finally gave up on that. Just be explicit about what you want, e.g., "It's my birthday next Thursday so I want to go out to dinner and get a babysitter, you pick the restaurant and surprise me." [/quote]
