    Well, since my birthday is right around the corner, I'll tell you what I want.

    I want my husband to take me out on a date. A REAL date. As in, tell me what time to be ready and that's all I have to do.

    I want him to plan every last little detail, like making plans for the kids to spend the night somewhere, making dinner reservations, taking me to see a show at the Performing Arts Center, and renting a hotel room. I want him to think of things that he normally wouldn't do.

    Do I think it will happen? Nope.

    I wish he could understand how something like this would mean so much to me. I am so tired of taking care of everyone and everything that I could freakin' scream. I want one night where I don't have to think about a damn thing besides enjoying myself and feeling like I'm actually worth someone's attention.

    Did you cleary tell him this? I ask because I clearly told the luckiest man in the world this and it is exactly what I got. He picked a restaurant, made reservations, presented me with a small gift when he picked me up, opened doors, helped with my jacket, held chairs, everything. I enjoyed it so much, he did it again. And again. And again. And he still does it long after we've moved in together - no special occassions needed.

    I've been married damn near forever by today's standards. Yes, I have told him what I want. Does it ever happen? No. Do I love him with all my heart? Absolutely. It's not his fault he was born without the romantic gene. It just gets old. I can't seem to make him realize how much something like this would mean to me.

    You'll forgive me if I don't believe that you were as direct with him as you were with us. Because if you were you wouldn't be complaining right now. I'm quite sure if he saw what you wrote here it would motivate him. It might even make him feel guilty. But I'll put money on the fact that he didn't see this post, and probably never will. If you give me his email address I will be glad to forward it to him for you so there can be no confusion.

    Be direct and be honest. Don't beat around the bush. You can't place blame on him until you've tried this approach.

    I never said I spelled out the way I want my birthday to go. I said that he knows. He knows what I want in terms of him doing more for me. Would it kill him to show me that he cared? Would it kill him to hold my hand or put his arm around me in public? Would it kill him to put my needs first for once? Because, believe me, I've asked him to do it...I've told him what I need...but it still doesn't happen.

    I refuse to plan my day because 1) it will piss me off; and 2) it will make me sad because he didn't think enough of me to do it himself.

    Do I doubt that he loves me? No, but I'm nearing the end of my rope.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me. This thread has gotten off topic and I'm not the type to burden people with my problems.

    Maybe this year e-mail it to him? My birthday is 6 days before Christmas... sucky. His is 7. people always have plans with so many Christmas parties and such

    Very close to the above, just prefer a more secluded spot with trees, or mountains of some sort. Waterfall would be nice....but yeah a picnic and love. :heart:

    My fiance got me a Kitchenaid stand mixer for my birthday our first year together. I about went in to hysterics. But I love to bake, so I'm a little nuts about my kitchen toys!

    Tickets to something we could do together.
    Sexy lingerie. (Although I know a lot of girls wouldn't like this for some reason??)
    Date night.
    Many girls would like jewelry (I do not wear jewelry so that's not for me.)

    Personally, what I would like, it may seem silly but I would like sexy lingerie, a stuffed koala (those cute stuffed animal bears, LOVE them!), cool lights/poster for the apartment. That sounds about right for me :).

    Have you asked her? Our maybe even her best friend, sister, or mom? Somebody she confides in will probably know...;)

    She wants a romantic gesture if its from her significant other. A nice trip somewhere exotic would be nice.

    If its a friend, a gift card usually works just fine, especially if its for shoes or makeup. :)

    to be remembered...! On the actual day!

    Then jewelry works pretty well for most types of girls, if not you'd know that!

    Even if money is not a factor - plain and simple, show her how much you really LOVE her. She pretty much wants exactly what every man wants on his birthday!
