Most people celebrate their birthdays with their loved ones, so it can be really heartbreaking when they can’t make some time for your special day.
One mother was left devastated and inconsolable when nobody turned up to her birthday party despite inviting all of her long-time friends and family.
Sharing her heartbreak on Mumsnet, the unnamed woman explained how she and her partner decorated their home and prepared delicious meals for guests.
“My fiancé arranged me a surprise party for my big birthday this year. He went to a lot of effort with food and drink and decorating the house and told me that he had arranged for all my friends to some and celebrate with me,” she wrote.
She explained that the party would start in the afternoon to give her family and friends plenty amount of time to drive to her home.
“He put up a gazebo with a heater because he was worried about room in our living room and had a couple of friends and his parents come and set it all up while he took me out so that it was a surprise,” she went on.
However, only one friend came to the party.
“Nobody else bothered and I am utterly heartbroken,” she added. “How do I even begin to feel better about this? My fiancé wanted me to feel like a princess on my birthday but I can’t stop crying and I feel terrible because he went to so much effort.”
Mumsnet users felt her heartbreak, with one person commenting: “Awww, that’s awful, I feel for both of you, your fiancé did a lovely thing for you.”
Another wrote: “Oh dear I’d be heartbroken too! Try to be kind to yourself today.”
