I understand. I spend months picking out gifts. for my husband's 50th I took him on a trip. Two weeks later, he completely forgot my birthday. We almost got divorced. I wouldn't even let him celebrate my birthday the next year. Mother's day the same..tired plant from grocery store. I don't like plants...big celebration for Father's day. so I stopped and his feelings were sor hurt. Imagine that! Your feelings are hurt when someone doens't asknowledge you. Now, I've trained myself not to care but he is trying a smidge harder. I have a purse full of barnes and notble cards. We don't have a Barnes and Nobles here. Best to ya!
