John's birthday is tomorrow...

and he asked for his mom to make him dinner. That hurt. I realize I am not the greatest cook and that it is his birthday and he should get what he wants. But... that hurt. Now we aren't really talking but not fighting either and it is his birthday tomorrow. How am I supposed to put it all away and help him have a nice birthday?

That was pretty thoughtless, and I would be hurt, too. I hope he realizes one day what a great wife he has. I think he takes you for granted :( You're a great person Marlayna.

I dont know him, so I dont know if he's thoughtless on a regular basis, but I have to defend this one. I LOVE for my mom to cook me dinner on my bday cuz eating what you loved as a kid is just simply comfort food! Imagine your son is grown and asks you to cook him his birthday meal. Would you think he was being rude to his wife? Like I said - since I don't know him, its hard to gauge if this is an isolated event, or if he generally leaves you out in the cold. if that's the case, then I could understand that this could be just one more "brick in the wall". Maybe you can tell him that your feelings are hurt (not in a fighting way, but just to let him know)perhaps it hasn't even crossed his mind that it might hurt you. Guys are clueless like that sometimes. You should resolve it so you two can enjoy the day tomorrow.
