Ok, so his birthday is on Monday and I'm planning on having a family cookout that afternoon with all the fixings of course. However, the only problem I have is that fact that I want to get him a cake but he says he doesn't want one. I know that some people will tell me to leave him alone about it but for some reason I can't. I must get some joy out of badgering him about what type of cake to get, lol. I got him going so bad earlier that we were both laughing so hard we were crying. The whole conversation was me asking why he doesn't like/want cake and never and still hasn't given me an answer. Anybody has a spouse or significant other that is like this? Is it strange that I'm enjoying bugging him about it? I have a strange sense of humor, lol.

I'm guessing, but maybe he doesn't want to blow out candles and have everybody sing Happy Birthday. That can be a little embarrassing. I'd probably act like I was not getting him one, then surprise him with one anyway. Then he won't be worried about it and you'll still have the fun of surprising him.

That could be it too but I'll never know cause he won't tell me the real reason. I'm going to still look into getting some type of cake for him anyway and he won't know when he's going to get it. Thanks for the response.

My partner didn't want to anything last year, he was turning 29 and said he couldn't be bothered. So i arranged for his closest friends to meet me for a surprise meal. I had one of his friends ring him the night before saying he needed a favour and would pick him up the next night. This friend arrived and tried to get steve out of the house. I had another of his friends pick me up infront of the shop on the corner. He was supposed to arrive just after my partner left but turned up early so i had to make some rubbish up about going for milk and hope that he was ushered away early enough to make it realistic that i might be queing. Everyone else met us there. He loved it. If i was you i would buy him a comedy cake or have one made in the word "No" and then lead him through and say something like i know you said "no cake" soooo and then show him it. He would have to laugh.

Oh that is a really good idea too! There is a place nearby that I can get one at too. Oh, now I'm gonna have to do that even if he does read this post he won't know for sure if I did or didn't do it...hehehe. Thanks again for the idea!

yes my husband is like that but he never says he doest want cake if i were you i would a cake for the sake of the get together but not to please him he will come to realize at the party that you cant have a birthday party without cake and then understand why you were pressuring him to get something that he likes
