Today is my STBX's birthday. It was also, going to be our Divorce day. The court date got postponed due to the judges surgery.
Irionically, it could be like any other day. I'm a little sad that our family has gotten this way. But I am mostly glad to see it just come and go.
I think she went out for breakfast with her daddy this morning. Ironically that's more of a gift for him. She's been at work the rest of the day. She's probably having dinner with one of the other controller, SM, ladies from church. It's pouring raining tonight.
5 of our 6 kids are gone. Off working, and volunteering at church. There's no cars here.
Maybe they will do something for her tonight after 9:30pm?
There has not been a word said to her from the kids all day, no cards, no gifts, no doughnuts. They seem un-interested in the whole thing.
They say we never know what to get her, she doesn't like anything.

My stbx went on line today to do some "fakebook" posting. Fortunately I am educated to her manipulation. It's comical, and sad at the same time.
Her birthday was "great, couldn't have asked for a better day, took a nap, (alone in her car) watched it rain, (alone in her car) feeling loved". All a bunch of fakebook manipulation to her minions.

I think it really depends on the person. I don't make a big deal out of my birthday and in my wife's birthday, I brought a single white rose. I think in this day and age, depending on another person to make you happy is a big fail.

My W always gets me a "nice" gift and a funny card for my birthday. I never get what I ask for though... I would trade in everything she ever bought me if I had the chance. I'd much rather have some hot sex than more material things.

I used to tell my wife that what I wanted for my birthday was her naked with three bows on her. I gave that up years ago. These days I get nothing, but to be honest I'm fine with that. I learned a long time ago to set my expectations to zero when it comes to stuff like birthdays and Xmas.

I journaled this on EP my last married bday, pretty good story.
You gotta see the humor.
Today I am at the baseball field.
My son is playing for a team coached by a good friend (long story why and not important) and my husband is coaching the opposing team.
Well today is my birthday and I didn't say a word to anyone and I wasn't going to. My husband and I drive to the field together and he never wishes me a Happy Birthday. I realize that he just wasn't aware of the date because he knows my Bday but at the same time I understand how unimportant I am to him.
My plan was to not say anything, let the day pass and call him out and make him feel bad privately.
Well fate stepped in and decided he was going to look like an ass publicly. This is where it gets funny.
So one of the dads walks up to the field and wishes me a Happy Birthday, ok the secret is up.
So all the moms and dads are wishing me happy Bday but my husband doesn't hear because he's on the other side of the field.
I call over my friend, the head coach and tell him when he has the meeting at the plate to shake my husbands hand and tell him to wish his wife a Happy Birthday. He asked me "do you want me to kick him in the balls?" I responded, "he doesn't have any!"
Well they have the meeting and my husband is informed. I couldn't see my husbands face but a mom said he had a shocked oh shit look on his face.
Then all the moms broke out in song and wished me a Happy Birthday. My husband will probably win this game. He knows more about baseball than anyone, he just doesn't know he has lost me.

Today my stbx left with her daddy to spend 4 days with her sister. They will probably celebrate her late birthday.
Am I jealous? Not at all. In fact I think about next year. There will be no children with her, and no husband. So she's going to take her daddy (in his mid 80's) and go visit her older, divorced no man ever sister?
Would I want to be spending my birthday like that? Sounds like desperation, when you've got nobody.
To each is own.
