Most of us celebrate our birthdays with our loved ones and it doesn’t matter whether there’s a party or not.
Just a simple ‘happy birthday’ is enough to make us feel that they are thinking about us. But one pregnant mom was left upset after her husband seemed to completely ignore her big day.
The woman took to Mumsnet and wrote: “Today is my birthday, I am 37 weeks pregnant tomorrow and have a lovely eight-year-old boy.”
The mother explained that her relationship with her children’s father is a little strained as they had been having many arguments lately because of their house renovation.
“There have been two big arguments in the past week and I am just blamed for absolutely everything, everything I do is wrong and selfish apparently,” she said.
But when her birthday arrived, her husband did not greet her at all.
Because their son was only 8 years old, her birthday went completely unnoticed.
“My son doesn’t know it’s my birthday bless him so I just got him ready and he went to school as usual,” she said.
The pregnant mom said that it was her first birthday without her dad, who recently passed away.
“My partner’s birthday was less than a month after my dad passed and I still ensured I arranged a lovely weekend away for the three of us,” she said.
Now, the mom is asking if she was being unreasonable for wishing her husband had wished her a happy birthday. She also said that she didn’t expect a gift or card, just a simple ‘happy birthday’ was enough for her.
Other moms were quick to wish her a happy birthday. One person commented: “Two things to do today, buy a treat or present for yourself, and chuck this useless selfish spiteful bloke out of your life.”
Another wrote: “Your partner sounds quite cold and detached. I get that this isn’t a snap decision to be made, especially with another baby due very soon but I’d personally be questioning what I was getting out of the relationship.”
