That sounds so much like my H on my birthday. He managed to forget it was my birthday and volunteered to help do the set-up at the town carnival and then went out for drinks with the set-up team afterwards. And the card he left on the table had less affection in it than the one I got from my co-workers.
My anniversary was only a week after BD and as I was unaware of what was coming I'd already bought a card. We didn't do much in terms of going out for our anniversary since the birth of S13 as his birthday is the day after and dinner out two days in a row is just way too expensive.
