is it possible that DH forgot my birthday? UPDATE
I just posted this on the newlywed chat...but I'm putting it here, too....advice please!
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.
