[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Neither of us have living mothers. His mom died before we married, so I don’t know if he ever celebrated her. I have talked extensively with him about this matter, and him not participating is not due to a lack of communication or understanding. I’m exhausted to be honest. I don’t think it’s ridiculous to want my spouse to say thanks once a year for being a good parent. oh well, there’s nothing I can do about it.

I’m just gonna celebrate alone with the girls. It just feels embracing to be treated like this every year and for the girls to see it.

We do have sex, but not as often as we used to.[/quote]

Why is Mother’s Day so important to you? Why are you making it such a huge deal that it’s turning into a major issue in your relationship?
[b]If you have a solid relationship with your husband, you are being valued and celebrated as a mom on various occasions throughout the year, not being honored on Mother’s Day shouldn’t be a big deal. However, if that’s not the case, and you’re not even feeling appreciated on Mother’s Day, then you might have a more serious problem in your marriage than just Mother’s Day.[/b]

Does he celebrate you on Valentine’s Day, your Birthday, Women’s Day, Thanksgiving, etc., but only neglect to recognize Mother’s Day? 
I would find that hard to believe.

You have a much larger issue in your marriage than just Mother’s Day.
You need to address it. Don’t  e distracted by Mother’s Day.

You can please just pin this for all these future Mother's Day and Valentine's Day posts? These holidays are generally only a big deal to people who aren't treated well/celebrated/respected throughout the year, in which case the failure to acknowledge the holiday is not the problem you actually have.[/quote]
