Tell me, would it upset U if your partner didnt say Happy Birthday on the day!

Hello msmell! OMG! I can really relate to you. The only difference is that we are a long distance right now. My birthday is last November 11. I got up early that day expecting my that my inbox would be full of greetings. But then when I checked my phone, no one texted me. I think it's ok if my family and friends will forget it. Then I went to my pc because I know my husband would be online to greet me. I know he's off work. (My husband and I have different time frame if it is morning here it would be evening there. Well I forgave about it because maybe I am just too early. But 11 in the morning came and he's not online. Can you imagine that? It's 11 in the evening there so there's a little possibility that we can chat. I am so upset. I felt I'm alone and no one loves me on my special day. Finally, my husband came at 12 noon and midnight there. I did not talk to him. It's too late to greet me. He tried to call me but I didn't answer it. Then finally, I answered him on yahoo but I rarely talked to him. But then I can tell that he really regret it so I forgave him. And finally my parents called me at 6pm and they told me that they celebrate my birthday in our hometown. That's the time that I cried while on the phone. I was really touched. My family still loves me.

You're not being silly. You just want to be greeted that's all. But just because your husband didnt greet you doesn't mean he loves you less. Maybe it's just not his style. If it bothers you that much just talk to him and say what you feel. I'm sure you'll be fine! Happy birthday!

I never thought birthdays were very important. My husband and I didn't bother with them, and I don't get any cards or anything else from my kids on my birthday, and they don't get anything from me. I don't even know when my grandkids' birthdays are unless I look them up. It's not that important, though if you grew up with your family making a big deal out of them, I can understand why you might be upset. Maybe it's time for you to get things in perspective and save getting upset for more important things.

[i]Hi msmell, Happy Happy Birthday! Hmmm... I'm a little suspicious here.. I bet your hubby is cooking something for you. I'm sure he's got a surprise for you later this afternoon or maybe in the evening. Don't be too upset about it dear. I remember my bestfriend, who cried and cried the whole day because his boyfriend (now husband) didn't greet her on her birthday. She didn't know her boyfriend already called me days before and we prepared a party for her. Oh boy! Did she get the surprise of her life that evening! I know I'll be a little upset too if my loveone won't greet me, but try to think positive for now, it's your birthday! [/i]

Well, Yes I'll be very much upset if he didn't say Happy Birthday to me, since he is the most important person in my life and these days he has become my guide, father and a son as well. So if he forgets my b'day, yes I'll be very much upset.

No I wouldn't get upset about it. I don't care much about my bdays anymore I just find it as another normal day for me and just getting older! Some ppl tend to forget about my birthday sometimes. I don't even care about presents on my bday anymore, only just spending it wit family and the one I love...Sometimes I'll just sit home n do nothing as well! Birthdays use 2 mean something to me but as you get older its like ugh just another year older!

Well, msmell, Happy Birthday to YOU!!! I was singing the song as I was typing that. I hope your day gets 100 percent better. I do not think you are being silly at all. My birthday is a huge deal to me, whether it is to anyone else or not. It's the one day a year that I have to celebrate the day I was born. Only one day, out of 365 days in a year. So yes, I would be a little aggravated. I would even have said something to my son. Fourteen years old is well old enough to have remembered your birthday and said something about it. I know some people don't think it is that big of a deal, and that is their prerogative. But I believe if I think it is a special day, then it is special! And if you think the same way I do, they should make a big deal out of it. It's not their birthday it's yours! Happy Birthday again, and best wishes for many, many more!

Don't be so unhappy,maybe they are too busy to forget your birthday.We should believe that although they didn't do anything in our birthday ,they still love us .They maybe express their love in another way ,withe other methods.Take it easy !And to give some notices to them ,and image what will happen.

Hi Msmell. Well Happy Birthday to you. I hope you have a lovely day even though your husband hasn't acknowleged it yet. Yes I would be annoyed, in fact I probably wouldn't have bothered taking a cup of coffee up to him, he should be making your day special, getting up earlier himself and making you a drink and taking the kids to school for a change. I would even be annoyed at the oh we will go buy you something, he should have got you something to open as a suprise. Men. ggrr. Enjoy your day though, don't let his thoughtlessness get to you. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hi msmell, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!! And yes, it would hurt my feelings as well. Our birthday is the only day of the year that is specially for you. It is a very important day. Especially for women. We spend every single day of the year doing and caring for every one else. We make sure that they get fed, get to school on time or work on time. We for the most part make sure that everything is running smoothly in the home. Our husband or mate and our children are the number one focus in our lives. Would we forget to acknowledge their birthdays? What if you just let their special day slide. They have only one birthday to remember, yours. You make sure that no one forgets theirs. Is it too much to ask? I don't think so!! Don't let them slide. I hope your day turned out better than it began. Happy Birthday Sweetie. leenie

yep its a a very sad.anyway, Happy Birthday for me. & have a nice day.

Happy Birthday!!! I will be upset too, saying happy birthday is not that hard to do right?! A simple greeting is enough for me even no gifts at all as long as somebody greeted me. Well I do have the same feeling because my birthday this year, my parents never greeted me although they knew it was my birthday. I don't need gifts at all. Just remembering and greetings are enough.

I'll say a bit. hahaha... actually that was me dont wanna being sounds phatetic. I'll be very upset! You're not the only one who will feel like that. We, women always count such birthday is important. So you have the right to be upset.

They better have a GOOD reason not to wish me one!!! thats a little tad much!!

It use to bather me but not anymore. I do not care of he says it or not I go and buy my own gift and celebrate it my own way.

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear msmell, Happy birthday to you!!! hope that helps.

For me it would not upset me because I have said for at least the past few years that I didnt want my birthday recognized. By the way Happy Birthday to you. Mine is next month. Even though I have told people that I dont want mine recognized they do it anyways or at least some people do. I think that is because mine is three days before christmas.

I will be a bit upset and disappoint but it's not heartbreaking for me. I will keep going with the good things rather than stick to it. Anyways happy birthday to you.
