Well you could invite him out for his BD and then have cake at your place. I remember h's last bday, he said what's to celebrate. Our bdays are 5 days apart so we went out to dinner and then had dessert.
Our anniversary 9 years is coming up in 12 days. This is the 3rd one apart. This is getting old. H hasn't mentioned anything of recent, but he did say to the c that it was coming up and jokingly we might need an emergency session depending on how the anniversary went.
I am getting nervous. What really are we celebrating? That we are still together, but not living together? Grrrrrh!
glam, I hope you get to do something sweet for your anniversary. I was thinking about you and your H this morning. In my opinion, I think he does want to be home with you, but because he's so depressed he cannot handle the responsibility of being a Dad and H and doesn't want to face possibility of failure in fulfilling that responsibility. Plus, he's too depressed to handle any stress of daily living, so if he comes home now, he has to deal with his own stresses and stresses from living at home - the kids, you, any disagreements, etc.
My H celebrates his BD, at least with his family. I am praying about how to handle it.
