I Am In a Relationship But I Don't Feel Loved

I had a shitty birthday. My own best friend wouldn't join my family and friends for lunch because her boyfriend expects her to be available to him at his every whim.

And don't get me started on my husband. He thinks social media is stupid, so he refuses to wish me a happy birthday on my page. Just a card and a "have a nice day" text.

I love social media for chatting. But I hate to receive birthday wishes or anything of the nature publicly. I think it's more personal f2f and "putting it out there" for the world to see is not validation but rather cheapens the true sentiment. If some one expects me to make things like that public so they feel validated then it ruins the moment for me. I so wish people would get "over" Facebook and crap and live life in the real world. Maybe you should ask and listen to his reasons before you condemn him because you want "everyone to see". Sometimes things are more special between two people instead of "399" friends. I keep my friends list down to 20 because their not close enough for everyday personal communication. Talk to him and listen.

I did ask. I did listen. I know his reasons. It's nice to be remembered by loved ones on your special day. Believe me, if I even got an "I love you, happy birthday, honey," I'd be overjoyed. But that didn't happen. Compound that by the incredibly low self-esteem of my dearest friend...

That or even a crappy little greeting card goes a long way to acknowledging the special day
