I'm new around here :) But I must be married to the same man as you and manda! haha My birthday, Valentine's, and first wedding anniversary are all within 2 weeks of eachother and I KNEW he would forget all 3 and I was right... I didn't say anything before hand because I thought he'd at least remember one! ugh it hurts that he can't remember even one date on his own :( So I just end up being a miserable crank for two weeks :-/Newlywed and Deployedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08135149257159999765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661407942753728954.post-18234581943648274812011-04-19T13:43:52.326-07:002011-04-19T13:43:52.326-07:00My husband is never around for my birthday. He is ...My husband is never around for my birthday. He is always gone. Good 'ol Marine Corps knows exactly when to send my husband away for training. I get late stuff all the time, but then again that isn't is fault. I think I would drop him a note, or something. Guys tend to be very forgetful. Which is unfortunate, but it happens. Sending him a little reminded will give him the benefit. I guess if I did remind him and he still forgets, then I think I would confront him. I mean that's what I would do.Nicole Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233171456753318043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661407942753728954.post-64360572285507378652011-04-19T13:15:44.667-07:002011-04-19T13:15:44.667-07:00Are we married to the same man?

Not a card, a gift, not even a Happy Valentines Day. Nothing. <br /><br />Also, like you, I have learned to not expect anything from him. Although part of me wishes that he will come through. Then I get hurt when he doesn't. <br /><br />I could PROBABLY accept my part in it and accept responsibility because I could probably say something about it and give him more hints about what I want... but I'm afraid of hurting him, of adding to his guilt and making him feel bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7661407942753728954.post-55635559738889151712011-04-19T13:15:35.313-07:002011-04-19T13:15:35.313-07:00My birthday is coming up soon (ugh...45), last yea...My birthday is coming up soon (ugh...45), last year husband was deployed and NO ONE acknowledged my birthday (no gift, card, birthday cake) - it was...depressing :o( Sitting at the kitchen table last night my niece, husband and daughter were gathered around and my niece asked me what I want this year. Instead of the typical "Oh nothing, I have every thing I need"..I told her I want a specific type of earring. For my husband - I told him whatever he got should be sparkly and blingy in a size 6.5!<br /><br />You shouldn't wait on pins and needles for your husband to NOT hit the mark. You should help him out here or you will get exactly what you think you'd get! Try the "honey, my birthday is coming up and I know you've got a lot on your mind. Instead of you trying to read my mind or draw a blank in frustration trying to figure out what to get me...here is the link to my amazon wish list to give you some ideas". <br /><br />BTW: Unless my husband TOLD me he had an amazon wish list...I'd never ever think to go look there for gift ideas! <br /><br />This approach may give him some relief to really come through for you.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14942517050388383188noreply@blogger.com
