It has been 5 years now and it seem like my dim wit of a husband can't even remember what month my birthday is in. He keeps thinking it is in the fall and it is in the spring.

He asked me today that he needs to get me a gift soon and I said why. He said I had a birthday coming up. Not really my birthday is in the spring.

Unfortuantely his EX birthday is coming up pretty soon..

He does it every year.

Anybody else's husband does this to them?

He will get my name mixed up with her name every now and then when he is talking to somebody.

It makes ya wonder if he doesn't have some kind of pass feelings. :?

Nope but if it were to happen I suppose I would have to "mix" up an anniversary date or "mix" up a birthday or two. I don't take kindly to feeling like the past is simply repeating and I personally make an extra effort to make my SO feel special and unique.

SO sometimes doesn't return the favor, constantly wants to go to places and events that "they" always went to. We live in a completely different state so to even do these "things" it is out of our way by 2 hours. The last time this happened it was for our week long vacation..awful to say the least. I told him next year he can take the ex if he was so set on repeating EVERYTHING he did with her.

Ouch :jawdrop:

I would definitely be upset over that. I would rather him completely and utterly forget and ignore my birthday than remember BM birthday and attribute it to me. YUCK. :sick:

The name mixup thing happens....I do it whenever I am irritated with SO (which isn't often) because I was always irritated with the EX...natural inclination. The birthday thing, um, not so much....
