[QUOTE="DDD, post: 73364, member: 35"] Once again, lol, there is proof that men and women just plain are different! I understand you were disappointed in husband BUT I am impressed. He may not be able to step up to the plate like you would like BUT your husband didn't leave the ballpark! He took the time to get you 3 presents. Each was small but it took at least some effort and time to get each. (Many husband's do not ever get 1 present for their spouses.) Then on top of that he wrote a note saying in essence "sorry, I know this is not enough but I just can't pull together more right now...meanwhile know that I love you and am remembering your birthday". Absolutely I agree you should reach out and find the support you need and maybe have a treat or two of your choosing. on the other hand, living with this stress messes up all our brains and personally I think your husband needs to be congratulated for getting presents, getting them on time and most of all expressing his feelings. Hugs to you both. (by the way, my husband loves me to death and yet these past two years he has not remembered my birthday beyond showing a little affection and apologizing for not doing more. We are living in a bundle of stress, concern, frustration, anguish and fear. Having him nearby is enough.) Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
