For my birthday :tears

I don't understand why he wouldn't... He just told me he was sorry for not sending anything yet. I mean... I have been asking for a card a letter anything... I asked him weeks ago so that it would be here in time... He said he would...

I'm so upset... I had already started peeking at the mail box for something :depressed



I know he doesn't have a whole lot of free time, but he sure as heck has enough to send me something. I feel so disappointed :tears

That sucks!!! I am sorry sweetie!! Men can be so stupid sometimes.............

:hugehug :hugehug

I'm sorry you are upset. :hugehug

Not sure if it can make you feel better, but...love isn't just about sending a card. Sometimes they really DON'T have the free time to buy a card, fill it out, and send it. Seriously. Or if they do have the *time* they just don't have the energy. I'm sure there's plenty of other ways he's showed you he loves you, so I hope those can make you feel a little better.

Ugh!! :bigsadhug
I am SO sorry!

Oh no... I'm not upset at him... Or think that he doesn't love me...


I just.... I was looking forward to getting mail from him... Just for the sake of having something he wrote for me. I think I sound a little crazy...

I know hes been busy and tired and... I don't know.

I don't get any of him for my Birthday.. and I wanted SOMEthing :depressed



Oh well... :sigh

sometimes guys don't understand the point of cards.

I bought him one for our 1 year, and i made sure not to spend to much time or money on it cause he's dense.
:hugehug

:bigsadhug I know how you must feel...Birthdays are a big deal to me. This is DB and my first time celebrating each other's bdays and I'm already toning down my expectations b/c I know he's deployed...

It really makes me want to send you one, sweets...

:hugehug

Yep. :hugs Guys just don't realize the importance of little things like that sometimes. I'm sorry he didn't send you a card. :sadeyes

Happy Birthday !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry you didnt get a crad from your hubby yet though hun..........but maybe its just delayed in the mail? I would be dissapointed to.

Lots :hugs for your birthday :)

:bigsadhug I don't know if this will make you feel any better but DH completely forgot my birthday last year and forgot our anniversary this year. Both times he was underway... I chock it up to he doesn't really know what the day is they all start blending together. I know it will be different when he is here. I value birthdays so much and when mine was forgotten it hurt. I know how you feel. This year he remembered mine and everyone else forgot it. :sigh

Oh no... I'm not upset at him... Or think that he doesn't love me...

I totally understand where you're coming from :hugs :hugs

Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday! Sorry you didn't get the card. Hopefully its just delayed or something. My DB didn't get me anything (not even a card) for my b-day last year. I know how it feels!

For my birthday :tears

Im sorry u didn't get anything yet. I don't want to tell u how long i waited for my first letter. umm lets see 5 months. I know we IM all the time but i told him one from you means the most. Just somthing i can read over and over. They just don't get it.:dunno

awww im sorry :hugs :hugs

:hugehug There is no excuse for him forgetting your special day. I don't care what he is doing, he can write you a card!

First of all happy birthday hun

He wanted to send me something or let something sent too me online cuz they still have trouble with outgoing mail but i havent got anything from him... BUT he called me on my birthday so i wasnt too disappointed

:yes

Sorry you are upset about it!

Awww Thank you every one :)

My birthday is actually Monday :yes
The reason I was upset is b/c he told me today that he didn't get to send anything... :(


Dh is a wonderful guy and I have lots of old letters from him, he has never missed a card for an Aniv or B-day... I'm just sad that this time I really might not get one. :depressed

Oh well.. I'm sure he will still try and call me on Monday :)

Maybe he'll surprise you with something later on in the week...better late than never. DB didn't get my anything for my birthday this year, not even a card, and he wasn't even deployed. He did better last year and that was while he was in BCT. Happy early birthday!!!! :hugs

Oh I WISH :)

I keep fantasizing that he will just show up on my door (that totally made me tear up :tears)
I know that wont happen :sigh

I'm trying not to get my hopes up for any kind of "surprise" present...


He did say that it looked like they were setting something up for sending packages! So maybe later he will be able to send me some souvenirs :smitten

:edit Oh and thanx on the b-day congrats :D

It sucks! I know how you feel. I didn't get anything on my birthday, valentine's day, or for our anniversary... :( They have got him so busy over there that he has no time to do anything but work and sleep.

Sorry you didn't get anything either.

What a poo. I feel like an arse for not sending you a card now too :depressed

Here's a story:
Once there was a girl and loved a boy very much. For christmas she desperately wanted a romantic gift from her sweetie. The day arrived and she unwrapped her present to find: an electronic, heated ice-scraper. Moral of the story: Men don't always get it. Sometimes they miss the boat completely but we love them anyway, probably because we can't help ourselves. Sometimes they just don't understand the importance of some things to us...

I'm so sorry you're so sad. That makes me sad. We need to cheer you up!

I would be upset and hurt too! :hugs

Happy Birthday!!

:edit LOL

:giggle

Thanx... Geez i have to make plans for my B-day... LOL

I know if I don't I will just stay in all day

Sorry you're upset. My boyfriend was deployed on my birthday last year and I didn't hear from him for 5 months - so I know what it's like to have the one you love miss your birthday! I'm sure he was thinking of you anyway - hope you managed to have a good day despite not hearing from him.

oh goodness

I feel like such an A$$ :tears

I finally caved and let Dh know I was sad about him not sending a card. And he told me he didn't b/c when he was at the US embassy he had no American money and they didn't take credit cards. So he just didn't have a way to buy stamps. :tears

My poor baby :tears

Now I feel like I made him feel even worse :tears :tears :tears




Deployments suck :sigh

ok, so for my first birthday with my husband last year, i was totally expecting something good...a card, flowers, something...because he was in a good area and had the capabilities (in iraq)...the day came and went and nothing...he barely said anything about my birthday, which i spent ordering pizza, cake, and beer by myself because none of my friends could do anything that night...

moral of the story...it's disappointing, but certainly doesn't mean he isn't thinking of you and loving you every moment of every day and wishing so much that he could be there to spend your birthday and every other day with you too...i'm sure he wishes he could do so much more, but is just overwhelmed with missing you and everything else in his life.

:hugehug

don't even get me started on my last two birthdays. lol but i hope he makes it up for it. he BETTER! :P

i got a IM sent to my phone on my birthday, well two short ones. and that was it. but at least i got that, and at least he remembered i suppose! Happy Belated Birthday by the way!!!!

I know it sucks, but he'll make up for it :P
