is it possible that my DH forgot my birthday? *UPDATE*

Original post by JanuaryMrs

I'm actually a pretty regular poster on LIWeddings but I have changed my name b/c this is just SO EMBARRASSING.
I am really upset...I think my husband forgot my birthday! Is this possible?
Last week, he told me that he made reservations at a restaurant in the city, near my office. I excitedly said 'GREAT!'

He said NOTHING to me this morning....no happy birthday, nothing. I didn't say anything.....and I asked if he could please make the coffee this mornign. He said NO b/c he was running late, and he needed to eat his breakfast....and then muttered something about how he made the coffee for us over the weekend. That is when I realized that he must have forgotten.

He left the house before me this morning...I was still in the shower, and he said nothing other than 'Have a nice day.' No card, nothing.

He hasn't caled me all day....it is now almost 3:30.

I understand that my birthday is dwarfed in importance this year after a wedding, etc. But this is UNEXCUSABLE. I can't believe he would have forgotten! I am so upset Not to mention....really turned off!
Can somebody please advise?

UPDATE: Yes, he forgot.
I still can't believe it. Thanks ladies for understanding how upset I was. I tried to wait it out until 11:30, but couldn't. At 8ish, my best friend called and asked what we were doing....I couldn't even tell her what was going on I was so embarrassed. I told her that we were home and she asked if we wanted to go for a drink. I went by myself......and we had a blast! At about 9, DH called......he realized what he had done. Apparently, he had made reservations at a restaurant the week before, and they called him to see where we were. I guess he mixed up the dates?
Anyway, he called me and he was mortified.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
He asked me to please come home.....but I was having fun.
I stayed out until 2am with the girls. Came home and believe me.....I didn't need to tell him how I felt b/c he knew. He feels terrible.
I went to bed, and we got up this morning.....he feels terrible but I am not saying a word. He knows how I feel.
I know that in the grand scheme of things this is not a big deal, but if my own spouse can't remember my birthday.......that hurts.
I'm sure he'll try to do something nice. Whatever....I'm over it.

I'm glad you went out and had a good time on your birthday with your girls. On that same note....I think you need to let it go with your husband. He made a mistake, he admitted he was wrong, he feels terrible, and I bet he'll NEVER forget your birthday again. People make mistakes and he probably had a lot on his mind and just lost track of the date. Dont let something so insignificant make such a huge sore spot in your marriage. I have to admit...I almost forgot my parents 25th Anniversary this year. I knew it was coming up and I knew the date....but when the 19th of June rolled around I just didnt put two and two together It happens....
You know he had good intentions since he made dinner reservations originally. He just forgot. Let it go and go out and celebrate your birthday today or this weekend with your hubby

He sort of forgot mine last year. We were married on 7-1, my Bday is 7-13. He KNOWS my bday, he just didn't know what day of the week it was. With the wedding, the honeymoon, then just relaxing for the two days, on the 13th he said/did nothing until I blew up at him. He looked at me shocked and had no idea that it was the 13th. That was the first thing he said to me.... today is the 13th!?!?!? He made it up to me by apologizing about 100 times then taking me out to a good dinner.
