I think I can count the times H has bought me a b'day present...I know he did two years ago, nothing at all special, because the women at work told him to. This year was my 40th, and I told H we were having a party, and it was being catered, so I didn't have to stay up 'till 4 every night the week before getting ready.
I added his b'day, and our 10th anniversary into it, and H got into it, invited lots of people, and we had a big bash. I got lots of presents, and had a good time. I was determined to enjoy my 40th, and I knew that's the only way it was going to happen.
Corri,
I've tried real hard to not have expectations, or to do things myself (I make my own cake) and celebrate, and tell myself it's cultural, etc etc, but it still feels bad when H doesn't do anything. Ask me about last year...
