(((Wayfarer))) Not as good as a mom hug for sure. I’m so sorry. It’s like your H is both acknowledging and asking for permission not to acknowledge? Whatever. Let yourself feel the way you need to feel, and take care of yourself. Give yourself the space to acknowledge this as a day of some significance to you, a day you are allowed to have all kinds of feelings about, and you will get through it. And then enjoy the dinner and drinks you have planned for you. Did you order dessert too?
