I was 30 on Monday.
Dh asked for list of things to get weeks ago.
Asked for 2 things (not extravagant, less than he'd spend on his hobby stuff)
Morning of birthday, no presents, no card. Didn't even get ds to make me a card.
Just said, I didn't have time to get you anything, I'll do it after work. I was visibly disappointed.
I emigrated here to his home country, no family, not many close friends.
That evening he gave me presents & card, said we'll do something sat and didn't talk to me for the rest of the evening.
It's Sat evening here now, I asked if we were doing anything, he stormed out for an hour, came back with ready mix for a cake.
Told him not to bother, I was disappointed with everything.
He told me I was an ungrateful brat, what I asked for was too expensive, I was a moody bitch all week. 'Fuck you and your fucking birthday'
Was I expecting too much, tbh I was sad this week. Missing my friends & family who would've celebrated my bday with me.
I knew he wouldn't have done anything big and that's fine but he had so much time to even have a card for me that morning or all day to do something like make a card with ds.
I know I'm too old for 'special birthday girl' strop but is it ok to be disappointed by this?
