So, my phone rang just now. My husband called me and asked me. How mad would you be if I go golfing on your birthday. In my mind, I was like, WTF my birthday is like 2 months away. So I was like, why? He said it's for work and I know they really do that thing annually. And so I said. Well I don't even know what day my birthday is. He said and I presume, Saturday.

I just said well, if it's for work it's fine. And he is the type that always makes up if he knows he mess up so he just said he will take me out next day in restaurant of my choice.

Ya, quick chat, no drama. Coz I am not a drama queen like that. Just sharing coz I have read lots of drama going on in some threads and they are not even married. LOL.

Question is. Will you guys react the same or make a big deal out of nothing? Just curious.

Props for my husband though for like letting me know months in advance LOL, WTF.

I'm not big on holidays so if we do something another day I'm fine with it.

It's just another day, and my husband shows he loves and values me all the time so I'm good.

Personally I agree it's decent of him to let you know regardless of it being X amount of time away and yeah I wouldn't make a deal of it at all if honest I'd be happy that they told me plus I'd assume they would feel bad about the occasional falling on my birthday ( hence the call ) as it is so I'd make it easy for them and let them off the hook so to speak

No biggie

We all have busy lives with work conflicts. A birthday doesn't need to be celebrated on "the day". If those kinds of events are symbolic to your partner, you find a day to celebrate the birthday and make sure you do a few gestures the day of the birthday. Card. Flowers.

That's pretty much the way it works around here.

We call it "birthday week".

Pretty sure those who don't make drama about special occasion with their SO's are married. And mature enough to understand. It's not the be all and end all to celebrate on THE day.

Hopefully those single posters who make a big deal about it, learn from this to, ya know, have a longer relationship.
