I just planned my own birthday weekend

[divagirl]

....and I'm kind of disappointed.

My SO was asking me what I wanted to do for my birthday and if I wanted him to cook for me or go out to eat. I opted for dinner out and he told me to just let him know where I wanted to go. So I made reservations for a restaurant for us. He got us tickets for a comedy show afterwards. He asked me over a week ago what I wanted for my birthday and I opted for clothes since I really "need" some new ones instead of something else I really don't "need". He's going to take me shopping probably this weekend. I can't help feeling kind of disappointed because there won't be any surprises and I'm picking everything out myself. Maybe I should have just told him to surprise me with everything...but I didn't.

Men just need help sometimes. I'd rather my DH ask me and get me what I want then leaving him to his own devices. I think as I get older, I want less surprises as my 3 year old provides plenty

Really, it isn't that big a deal. At least he is willing to do whatever you want. We don't even do anything for our birthdays these days as we are trying to save money. I understand the sentiment, but don't sweat the small stuff.

I'm not gaining weight. I'm retaining food.

((((((divagirl))))) I know exactly what you mean. My DH never even attempts to surprise me with special occasion gifts or outings. I usually don't mind. But just once it would be nice.

I hope you have a great Birthday!! And at least enjoy that you are together doing something!

I think I try to control things to my own fault. I know my SO just wants me to do what I want for the weekend and is probably afraid I won't like what he plans or buys...that's why he keeps asking. I'm over this now...I guess at least I get what I want

I just sometimes can take the fun out of things. Oh well.

For our fifth wedding anniversary, I told DH that I was tired of being the social secretary of the relationship. That milestone was on HIM! I didn't care what he did, but it was his project, not mine. He complained and mumbled, but, in the end, he went above and beyond. (He was hated my our male friends for years because their wives kept saying comparing them to DH and asking them to do something similar.)

Anyway, next time, put it in his court. Just tell him you'd like him to plan something and see what he does. And, if it falls below your expectations, just remember, it's the thought that counts and he probably meant very well!
