Hi mb28. I had read it yes. This is a terrible thing to experience, but your H didn't have to phone you on your bDay to tell you this. He really didn't have to call at all, that in my opinion wasnt' an emergency... he just wanted you to make HIM feel better because HE was upset.
He could have waited on that, ironically he used that news as an excuse to call you and to pick a fight with YOU... I doubt he even saw the irony...
