It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t care about occasions like this, if he knows you do (which you’ve clearly expressed) then he should be doing it FOR YOU. Not him. I have a friend who has the same issues around birthdays, Christmas etc. and it just seems to cause so much upset every year so I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just do it for the sake of making you feel special
Hey, i have no advice as I am in same situation on any occasion, birthday v day etc. I've now come to terms with it by planning my own if I want to do something, or buying my own things using his card to make it special Lol
Thank you guys! @Heena I might have to start doing this! I guess meeting up with my friend and her family was an attempt at planning something for myself that would cheer me up and it really did! Happy Mother’s Day to you too!!
Sorry to hear this, I would just make no effort back for father's day, his birthday etc. just don't even bother if he can't be bothered to make the effort even when he knows it upsets you!
Don’t question your motherhood just because he didn’t treat you well. You are an excellent mother. Don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise. My husband is the same. He made no effort. At least yours wished you. Mine didn’t even wish me until 11pm when i reminded him. Sorry i got no advice on this as i am also in the same situation with my partner. I wish for strength to be self sufficient everyday. Sending you loads of hugs and kisses on your first mother’s day mama. ❤️
