This year, I am thinking, what, maybe a card or a "happy birthday" text? I am not sure if a present would be appropriate or come off as pursuing. I am keeping in mind that she didn't really gift me for Christmas, so I am assuming that is how she thinks it should be. I Would like some input on that.
Sandi's 180 tips say no gifts, but personally my attitude about it is to talk to your W and just ask her what her expectations are. Mention that since there were no gifts at Christmas that you assume she doesn't expect any for her birthday, but that you just wanted to confirm that with her.
W and I did not exchange gifts on our anniversary which was not too long before Christmas, so at Christmas I called her and told her I didn't plan on us exchanging gifts, but just wanted to check with her. Good thing I did because she DID buy me gifts! Argh! So then I had to do some last minute shopping, LOL!
