I turn 47 next week (ugh). DH will be out of town. Maybe we should have phone sex the last few hours of being 46-except that we don't stay up that late.

Enjoy your 30s!

Yup, I think the general DCUM consensus in this thread was that OP is tripping.

Happy 30th Birthday, OP’s Husband!

Frankly I think OP sounds immature and ridiculous


Then you didn't read all the responses because I was one of many who supported the guy.

Disagree. There is no good reason for a married man to be out celebrating his birthday at this time of night with his coworkers without his wife. A drink after work for an hour or two sure. Till 11 pm wife should be involved. Husband is immature.


I guess I missed this in the Marriage Rulebook.


That marriage rule-book was on the shelf next to "Marriage, the fun is over" in the divorce section. Good thing you skipped it.

"Eat your heart out"??? People really say that? You and your husband both sound unsufferable. I'm sure your ex came as your friend's dat because he was way past being over you. You and DH just embarrassed yourselves.

If he wanted you, he’d be with you lol. The eat your heart out comment was stupid

Isn't it the person whose birthday it is the one who should decide how to spend their day? Notwithstanding the fact that this wasn't even the husband's birthday - it was the night before. Now husband's have to be mindful that their wife might want to "spend the last few moments of the prior year" with them?

PPs are suggesting "you know your spouse wants to spend this special magical exceptional day with you". WHAT? So now because I'm married, my birthday really belongs to my spouse because I should always spend it with them. Oh and also if it's their birthday, I should know that I do something special for them too.

It's entirely too much. Birthdays are for children and for adults it should be left to the one having their "special" day to do what they want.

I bet the OP celebrated monthly anniversaries when they were first dating, too.

Ha! Not the op but I thought it was funny. Would be secretly thrilled if my husband said that to an ex of mine. Well one of the not so great ones.

I'll match and up you a few. I had a gf that basically created a birthday month and wore a t-shirt with her own face on it declaring it. And went on and on endlessly on social media about it - along with birthday trip pics and the like. There was a birthday brunch, birthday lunch, birthday dinner, birthday club night with the girls and then finally the big to-do of a trip somewhere.

Lol if DH whined about wanting to spend the last few hours together before I turned a year older I would think he was so weird. Here is a hint OP....there is literally nothing different about being 30 vs 29. I'm 30.

Because every mature person knows that their spouse wants to spend those golden last minutes of their current age with them.
