Where's my present?? (83)

How do you feel when a SO has forgotten an important date.
Do you make them "pay" for it, if so, for how long, a week, two??

"PAY" them back with kindness .. Buy them an extravagant gift
and let their guilty conscience do the rest

ahhh...just the mention of it makes my blood boil !
my ex not only chose to forget my birthdays, but deliberately chose to say nothing ( i'm not talking about presents, that would be another level which i never expected of him) but let's say i got 'happy birthday' and a kiss maybe 5 times in 17 years we were together.
nooo...he would come home, to a room full of guests, to see a birthday cake that i made myself (which is also very annoying) and he'd just sit and eat and drink and just say nothing. ok, i thought, maybe he's ashamed for forgetting...when people leave he'll congratulate me.
nothing.
i never said a word in front of family because i didn't want to be disrespectful.
ok, i thought, maybe he'll apologize tomorrow and maybe get me a little something to make me feel better.
nope. not a word, not a thing.
this year, the first birthday after we split apart, he phoned me early in the morning, woke me up in fact (!?!}, to say happy birthday, and that he's coming (driving, from another city,in the middle of winter) to bring a present he bought for me
i didn't let him come.

Must be something about the "undemonstrative type" of man!! My last husband wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary for the first time ever ................ AFTER we´d already split up! WTF?!?!?!

Do I detect a wee bit of bitterness, I'm slow on the up-take too....my ex not only chose to forget my birthdays, but deliberately chose to say nothing ( i'm not talking about presents, that would be another level which i never expected of him) but let's say i got 'happy birthday' and a kiss maybe 5 times in 17 years we were together.

Not bothered that much about gifts ... so quite likely to organise (together) a meal, outing, party or something. So a big hug and kiss on the day can´t be forgotten. Takes 2 to hug and kiss and and ... ------ This thread is Archived ------
