Happy Birthday SDL!
I don''t think you''re being overly sensitive - it IS your birthday and he should put more thought into the whole thing to show you that he cares! We don''t necessarily need grandiose gestures, but the effort of putting some thought into it shows us that they care. Sorry it''s been disappointing so far...make yourself a tasty cocktail and relax.

SDL, I am sorry about the way your day turned out, but some men are just that way! Women are just generally more conscious of those kinds of things. If I were you, I''d pick out three things you really like and send him the links 2 weeks before your birthday next year. Tell him you know he is busy and might like some suggestions of things you''d really like to have! Then send him a reminder! Seriously, there''s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes we have these romantic ideas of these perfect husbands, but most of them have faults in one way or another! I always send my husband links or pick things out. That way he doesn''t have to worry about what to get me and I get exactly what I want! I really think it was sweet that he took the time to bring you flowers! So just mentally postpone your birthday until the weekend!
Happy birthday, SDL! {{{{BIG HUG}}}}

SDL,
You know, you CAN use spending your bday alone to your advantage. When Steve gets home you can get all sniffly and tell him how you understand how he had obligations on your bday and all.....sniff sniff....but you would have liked to have known earlier so you could have made some plans without him. Then, if he asks if he could make it up to you....you can tearfully tell him how a rolling ring would be nice.
Hmmmm....wonder if I should follow my own suggestion....lol.

Happy Birthday SDL!!! Don''t be sad.....here are some flowers for you.....
Some men are good at planning birthdays, anniversaries, etc., some are not. On the flip side this can go both ways as I know some ladies who are brutal planners and their men are great at it.
My DH is like yours....
....doesn''t know how/what/when to plan, so I take it upon myself to do it, and therefore I am (usually) not dissappointed. (well maybe a little bit sometimes but yanno, it''s a small price to pay when you look at the big picture).
I hope you are feeling a bit happier!!

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SDL.
I''m not usually a vindictive person at all, BUT
....his agreement to attend a meeting on YOUR FIRST BIRTHDAY as a married couple is cause for MAJOR PAYBACK!!!
Make a list a mile long (while you''re sipping or gulping your favourite cocktail
) detailing the many ways he will have to make this up to you BIG TIME.

Happy Birthday San Diego Lady!
I echo the others that some guys (re holidays) just don''t get it! I''m married to one of them! He is a caring loving supportive spouse, but for all the major romantic type holidays (Valentines, Anniversary, Birthday) he does the grocery store flowers thing, and is done. I''m the one who mails cards and gifts to his family, flowers to his mom for mother''s day, etc because if I left it to him it just wouldn''t happen. Our understanding/compromise is that I have jewelry budget for the year and can pick out nice things for myself on occasions. I know not so romantic but if I waited for him to pick something out himself I would be waiting a long time! I look at the big picture and know he loves me, just doesn''t express it that way.
