I feel so pathetic\u2026 My birthday was last Wednesday. I have been with my husband for 7 years. I like to make birthdays special for my family. For example, I decorate my son\u2019s room while he\u2019s sleeping so he can wake up feeling celebrated and loved. I\u2019m cheesy, I know. For my husband, I put out his gifts and cards so he can see them when he wakes up, and I\u2019ll make whatever he wants to eat for supper, or we go out if he wants to, whatever he wants to do for his birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My husband has always gotten me something for my birthday, together with cake and a card. It\u2019s great. But this year, no birthday wishes in the morning, no mention, nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Around supper time, we were chatting after work, asking about each other\u2019s day, and I asked him if he knew what day it was. He realized and said that he had completely forgotten it was my birthday, and came to give me a hug, and that he would get me a gift. I said that was okay, but I was hurt that he didn\u2019t think of me. He completely shut down and went to lie down. I went out for a walk, because I was crying and I didn\u2019t want my son to see me cry. I walked, crying in the rain, like an idiot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
