Oh, Pony, I am so sorry for your trauma. And a more traumatic experience. That is so sad. I have read heere how people are going to wedings and funerals and how their spouses are stillholding a cold front. I am sure it is to protect themselves.

Why? Why do you have to acknowledge it just because you went to his hospital? Going Dark has a dimmer switch. You can be positive and still protect yourself.
I have no idea about that birthday stuff. You know I have to think about it too. So I imagine we are both beginners and not together and I would not send any man a birthday card or aniversary card if he was a boyfriend who broke up with me months ago. Unfortunatly, that is how my H talks to me, not as a W, but as a silly litle obsessed ex girlfriend who needs to "get over it" as he put it.
