What a sucky birthday.
Sort of a vent, sorry.
So Friday was my 26th birthday. Jamie is standing up in a wedding today (Saturday), so the rehearsal was last night.
I got home from work, saw him for 20 minutes before he left for church, I ate a bowl of cereal and then he came and got me to bring me to the rehearsal dinner (which was disgusting bar food).
Then when we were on our way home, he tells me (doesn't ask, just tells me) I'm dropping him off at the grooms parents house so the guys can hang out "for about an hour" so the groom can chill out (he's REALLY nervous). I say fine, drop him off, tell him to call me if he needs a ride.
H tells me where my birthday gift is, and that I can open it when I get home if I want to. I didn't, and still haven't because I feel completely lame sitting by myself opening a birthday gift.
He doesn't call, but he doesn't come home in a hour either. Instead he
shows up at 3am smelling like stale cigarettes and beer. Nice.
I woke up at midnight or so and bawled my overly hormonal eyes out because I realize that I had spent my birthday pretty much alone.
I didn't get a single phone call from any of my "friends". My brother didn't call. Neither did my sister.
And to top it all off, my own Mom didn't even call me to tell me happy birthday.
And now I'm crying. Again.
This probably sounds really lame and immature, but I'm just really bummed out that I spent my birthday pretty much alone. Jamie didn't even make an attempt to spend time with me. Neither did my friends or family. That makes me feel like such a loser.

I'm sorry! I would definitely feel the same way and I'm not pregnant. Happy Belated Birthday, BTW!
Um, ew.
I'd definitely be pissed/upset as well. Even when my birthday falls on days when Danny has to work he still makes sure there is something sweet for me (and vice versa), so I totally get why you'd be upset.
And I've come to expect my mom to call me on my birthday (either 1st thing in the morning or as close to 5:13pm as possible), so if I didn't get a call from her, it would disappoint me as well.
