First birthday with very few wishes and no gifts!

I also just got married last year and have celebrated 2 birthdays with my husband. Since both of us are very private individuals, we are really not too big on celebrations. We prefer a simple lunch with family and closed friends only. Then it will be just the two of us for dinner. I do not have to ask him for anything because he spoils me even though there is no occassion. Sometimes he would give me something even though there's nothing special on that day. I will just think that it is close to my birthday so I will say that this is an advance birthday gift. Most of my friends will just remember my birthday after they have seen it on Facebook.

Oh. But still I want to greet you happy birthday. Well, not all the time our birthday is delighted. There are really times that we will feel awful and saddened. But I hope you won't think that it's because of your marriage. Maybe, they are just too busy to give you a surprise. Don't be saddened about it. Still be thankful because God had given you another year to live with your family and loved ones. I hope you will appreciate this more. :) Have a nice day.

What a coincidence! I've got married a few months ago too and had my first birthday with my husband this Auguest. Maybe it's the reason that I hardly had a real birthday before I met my husband, so I am used to the no-gifts-birthday. After encountering him, that's the first time to have gifts, so don't be so upset about that. I know the feeling with no real birthday with friends, but that's life isn't it?

yes!! my first husband has siblings whose birthdays are in the same month as mine. whereas mine is towards the end of the month, theirs are midmonth. our first year together, he helped hire a male stripper for his sister's birthday. he took his brother out clubbing for his birthday. ME....dinner at Sonic and a movie at his parents' house. his mom did make me an angel food cake (i'm not fond of angel food cake). i was very depressed after that. no matter how hard i tried to make his birthdays good, he never recipricated. my second husband has turn my birthdays around! he tries to get me what i like or want. he has given me a lot of surprises! :) most important, communicate to him how you feel. don't bottle it up.

Do not be sad I can give you at least 2 things to be grateful for: first, you have a very thoughtful husband. I hope you enjoyed your birthday date with him despit the heavy rain. Second, you have friends here in Mylot who want to greet you too...like me... Happy birthday, Padu! Wish you all the best

Ohh. Belated happy birthday. Don't feel bad. Things happen for a reason. Be thankful that everything is okay with you and your hubby and your life is good too. Your friends are probably just busy with their own concerns and have overlooked your birthday. I don't like to celebrate my b-day with loads of people. I rather do it with just hubby and me. Your birthday is even better than mine actually co's at least your hubby plan for it, but my hubby would just let it come without any plans. At first it actually hurts me but when I asked him about it, he told me the reasons. So now...I don't bother at all. My friends is still intact. We see each other often. We come together when someone throw out a party or something. I don't expects much with my friends co's I know they're dealing things their own. I am just thankful they are for me when I needed them, but I don't let them guess that I need them... I tell them. :)) Happy mylotting to you friend. Cheer up. God is good! :))

Maybe your friends expect that you will celebrate your birthday with your husband since it's your first birthday after getting married. So your friends did not bother you that much- not to interfere with the bond with your husband. Anyway, it depends on how you look or how you take your marriage life. There's no big changes with my life after getting married. I still do the usual things when I was single. Until now I still have friends whom I hanged out and go out for fun.

Belated happy birthday! My birthday celebrations is always with my husband and closed family members and friend. When I am at work, we will celebrate there and then extend it at home with my husband and my son. My friends and people who know my birthday will greet me via text message or via Facebook. Celebrating with my family and seeing them happy and healthy will just be enough for me. You are lucky because you will be celebrating your birthday every year with the person you love the most and that's your husband.

wish you a very happy birthday padu . hope you friends are too busy with their life , but don't worry. you will have more wonderful time next year.

I haven't really received too many gifts for a birthday in I don't know how many years.. I don't really expect one. One because we're too broke, we usually have to choose between a gift or a celebration. Celebration usually seeing a movie, maybe get something to eat. That goes for my kids as well. I personally don't really like to make a big deal about my birthday, I figure if it goes forgotten, it doesn't count as much and technically I don't really have to acknowledge that I've grown a year older!! People wishing me happy birthday solidifies the fact that I've aged a year and then I have to confess to it! I only welcomed birthday wishes this year because my birthday fell on 10 11 12! So that was kind of cool. But other then that, they can come and go and I'm not missing them.
