DH forgot my birthday.

[Deleted]

He had an entire hour this morning -while we were simultaneously getting the kids ready - to wish me happy birthday. It's not that hard. We celebrated with family last night. It's not like this came out of the blue. There were plenty of warning signs. Plus, ya know, we have been together for SIX years and he should know my birthday by now.

I'm going to eat my cupcake that I packed IN FRONT OF HIM this morning for breakfast.

Also, his birthday is Wednesday. This week is always special. Wtf dh. WTF.

Also, I found out over the weekend that I have fifths disease (sounds worse than it is) and the main symptom is that you feel like you have the flu. I feel like shit. And no one wished me happy birthday in my house this morning.

Am I stupid for crying over this?

UPDATE: dh called my phone no less than 10 times once he realized that he forgot. He then called me at work and got me on my office line. He told me to be ready in 15 so he an pick me up and take me to my favorite lunch place. Which works out great because my coworkers were going to have to cancel because an emergency popped up at work. He apologized profusely.

If I didn't have great work ethic I would have a margarita at lunch. Lol.

I'm really sorry. But, happy birthday! It's early yet; you can salvage this!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

No, you're not stupid for being disappointed! Want me to string him up and you can beat him like a pinata?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAZERUS!

[nahoku]

Aww, happy birthday, laz! Your H is going to feel so incredibly crappy when he realizes he forgot. I hope your day gets better!

[meggers5]

No not stupid

Happy Birthday

[Deleted]

No, I would be bawling too. I'm so sorry, laz.

Maybe he has something special planned for later? IDK. I hope so. Happy birthday and I hope you feel better.

[alzi]

I'm sorry:( my H and mom forgot my birthday this year unt later in the day. That, paired with being 2 weeks pp, and I spent the day sobbing on the couch. I get him.

Spoil yourself today!!!

[poppyseed]

I'm so sorry, laz! I hope he has something planned for later :/

I had fifths disease once. It was terrible.

[ElizabethBennet]

I'm sorry Laz .

Happy birthday!

[Deleted]

i'm sorry laz.

but i'm happy it's your birthday! happy birthday!

[lola]

Oh man, laz. I'd cry over that I think.

I hope you have a great day! :drink: (rose)

I'm sure your husband will acknowledge your birthday later today. I know that it hurt not to hear it first thing this morning, but many people aren't truly together in the morning. Your going through your routine, trying to get things done and get out the door, and don't really get a chance with your thoughts enough to think your way through the day right away. Once he does, I'm sure he'll remember, and will make it a point to mark the special day (or is it possible that he thought/felt like he already did yesterday, since you celebrated with family)?

[TheSeaward]

happy birthday
fwiw I am pist at my dh too

[kcr1972]

Happy Birthday!!!

[Deleted]

I would be upset, too. He better have something really, really good planned for later and this morning is just his trying to throw you off.

Happy Birthday!

[leeann]

That sucks, I'd be annoyed, too.

Happy Birthday, though!

[sneetch]

Happy birthday! I'm sorry about your H forgetting - it's not silly to cry. Mine actually did the same thing. We were leaving for a trip and sort of rushed in the morning, but he never said happy birthday. I was on the verge of feeling pissed off/crying. When his dad picked us up to go to the airport, we got into the car and my FIL yelled "Happy birthday!" H felt like an ass and spent most of the day sucking up to me. It hurt my feelings but I let it go so the whole day would not be ruined.

[tisevee]

I would be upset too. I understand mornings can be hectic with children. However two minutes in the morning to say Happy Birthday and land a great big smooch on you wouldn't have killed him. I'm sure it wasn't intentional. Maybe he felt he didn't need to since your family celebrated last night? I don't find that acceptable but maybe your DH does?

[alare]

Maybe he's just acting like he forgot your birthday so he can surprise you with something awesome?

[cc]

No, I would have cried too. In fact, DH pulled this same thing a couple of years ago. The good thing was that, as soon as he realized he forgot, he kept trying to make it up to me all day.

Happy Birthday, though! I hope the rest of your day is better.

[SKP82]

I'm sorry he forgot this morning. You are not stupid for being upset about it.

Happy Birthday!!

I know we celebrated yesterday. I'm not pissed because there wasn't a diamond tennis bracelet and expensive coffee waiting on me as I awoke, I'm pissed because he didn't even say happy birthday. I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

Everyone at work remembered and has been very sweet

[livinitup]

Happy Birthday. Feel better. Hope things get better.

[lpcats]

I was so worried I would do that to H this morning that I dreamt about it all night. Luckily, it was the first thing I thought of when I woke up.

Happy Birthday!

I just lol'd. Thank you!

[MixedBerryJam]

Not stupid. i'm sorry your husband forgot. FWIW I scored some gorgeous diamond and sapphire earrings after my husband forgot Mother's Day once. So think about what you "need" from him to fix this! 

Hope you have a happy birthday!

Happy Birthday Lazarus! I hope you have a better day, and that he's sent you some surprise at work. ((hugs)) Have you taken any motrin, had any coffee? you poor poodle.

Ibuprofen and I have a keurig in my office that is brewing some Starbucks right now. I brought the good creamer. And I'm about to eat my cupcake.

Thanks everyone. I am going to punch him in the gonads.

I always make his birthday morning so special, I just wanted the same!

[oliveyou]

I'm sorry, I'd be upset too. I don't expect gifts and a big deal to be made on my birthday, but I do like a happy birthday from my husband!

I hope the rest of your birthday is better! Happy birthday!!

[wildfloweragain]

Happy Birthday! 

With Fifths, you are supposed to feel whiny and flu like until you get the red areas.  If you have the red stuff, you should start feeling better soon, stay out of the sun!

I'm sorry - not stupid, happy birthday!
