[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just dump him. It won’t get any better. My good friend cried on her fortieth because she explicitly asked her DH for a simple cake and he couldn’t even do that, because he “doesn’t celebrate like that”.  Don’t set yourself up for misery. [/quote]

Only an infantile child cries because they didnt get a piece of cake for their birthday.  Not a 40 year old person who claims to be an adult.

Is your friend overweight or obese?  Be honest.  If not, why is chowing down on unhealthy junk food somethingto cry over.

JFC of all the things for a 40  year old to cry over.  There was an earthquake in Syria , thoisands killed.  Cry over that.

She's not crying over the cake.  She's crying because her DH can't even do the most basic thing to make her feel special on her 40th birthday.  It feels bad to tell someone "this is what I need from you to feel good about our relationship" and have them ignore it.[/quote]

Ok I want to say you kind of moved the goalposts a bit there, but I will roll with it.

So it's not about the cake, your friend cried because she did not feel "special" on her 40th birthday, and decided her husband was to blame.

That is even worse.  At least I can understand feeling disappointed (but not bursting into tears) if you wanted a piece of yummy unhealthy cake and did not get it.  I have a huge sweet tooth myself.

But, no, your friend turning age 40 does not signify she is "special" in any way.  She did not accomplish anything.  She did not get a promotion at work.  She did not get her masters degree summa cum laude.

She just got one day older.  That happens to everyone everyday they are alive.

What about your friend do you think is so special aside from her self centered neediness and complete lack of perspective and lack of maturity?

Has it occurred to you that her spouse has put up with this ridiculousness for years and does not wish to enable any more of it?

YOU go buy her a cake  Honey and the two of you can both cram it down and be "soecial" and insulin-intolerant together.[/quote]

I am the poster that wrote about my friend. Your loved ones should make you feel special. A fortieth is a mile stone birthday. My DH bought me a fantastic girls trip. And actually I did buy her a cake, I also took her to a three star Michelin restaurant. Because I care about her. I am sorry nobody loves you enough to celebrate you despite whatever achievements you have. Love for the person is enough, sorry nobody loves you and your standards are too low. [/quote]

Your loved ones make you feel special by buying you cake?  What is this obsession with cake?  I can buy all the cake I want, becaue I am a grown up now.  As a small child, getting birthday cake was exciting because I could NOT buy a big cake whenever I wanted one.

But I am not a child and therefore getting a nice piece of cake is simply no biggie to me.

Now, if someone like my spouse wants to home cook a meal for me, or vice versa, I find that a nice show of affection.  But we do not wait once a year for that.  We do that for each other several times a week, as well as many other non food related things.

Do you and your friends play pin the tail on the donkey, have those little noise makers, and wear pointy paper party hats too?

So for your 40th birthday, the way you think you and your husband show your great love for each other is. him spending a lot of money so you could be apart from each other?  lolololol. "Here is your dam cake now GTFO of town for a while."  Sounds like a good opportunity for cheating by one or both of you, please don't deny it.

No you didn't go to a three star Michellin restaurant either, you just heard about that on the food channel.

If love for the person is enough, then it sounds like you don't love and are not loved by anyone.  All your relationships are transactional, and you arent worth a stale Twinkie much less all the other costly nonsense you are bragging about in your delusional fantasy world.
