[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  honestly I did not expect much/anything.  But this was humorously insulting.  I mean, I am not really upset -- it is more of a reflection of the state of affairs as a middle-aged bread winner.  I would have liked dinner and sex.  I did not get either.

Heck, I would have been ok with an uninterrupted sleep, which did not happen.

I'm sorry people are jumping on you. I would have been upset as well. It sounds like the two of you don't communicate and resentment is festering. Some people, particularly depressed people, hold on to resentment. Why did she wake you up with a phone call? Was that really her fault?  You seem to be implying she doesn't care about you. You need to talk about the issue and plan important events. It is not unreasonable to say that birthdays are important. It's clear you two didn't talk about it at all. This sounds like a relationship where people are expected to just know what the other needs. Yes, you deserve more but you need to at least try to communicate. In my family, we rarely celebrate a birthday on the actual day. The weekdays are impossible. The birthday person decides what we are having for a meal or where we are going and also communicates ideas for gifts. Are you doing ok otherwise or is something else getting you down?. Depression can make it hard to speak up for what you need. [/quote]
