A woman writes to Dear Abby feeling unappreciated and unloved after her husband planned a birthday trip that went awry. He didn't adequately plan for the trip, had a negative attitude, and ignored her on her actual birthday. She questions if her feelings are justified, while her husband believes her expectations are too high.
Dear Abby advises a woman who is upset that her husband didn't do anything on her birthday, even though they went on vacation a week prior.My husband took me on a trip for my birthday this year, only he didn’t prepare for anything other than some sightseeing events. He didn’t help plan for camping, didn’t financially plan well for souvenirs or if we wanted to eat out, and had a crappy attitude the entire time.
My actual birthday was the day after we got home. He ignored me the entire day, and we got into another argument. We had a few friends over, but overall, I was pretty upset and felt unloved by him. Dear Abby: My wife hates my family but my brothers need a place to stayWhen I addressed it the next day, he told me no one should get a “birthday week” and called me ungrateful and unappreciative of his efforts.
Speaking safely from the sidelines in order to avoid the crossfire, I suggest you ask your doctor to recommend some licensed marriage and family counselors. There are healthier ways to manage conflict in relationships than the way you two are doing it. I have a problem with my daughter-in-law. I know she loves me, but I don’t think she likes me. An example: Yesterday, I met her and my son at my granddaughter’s dance recital.
