Default Happy Birthday....to me

Today is June 15th and it is my birthday. While I am saying Yeah and happy that I made another year this day has been a little hard.
The first call I got this morning was from my STBXH to wish me a happy birthay. Of all the firsts he was it. That was hard because for the past 4 years he was the 1st one to tell me that. I had to have a 2 minute cry session b/c I missed that.

Most of my friends are out of town so we are planning something next weekend. I thought about going to Olive Garden and treating myself but traffic was bad and I wasn't sure if I could handle sitting there by myself having dinner in that restaurant. I just bought a chocolate cake instead!
It didn't help that I just finished watching Kim from Atlanta Housewives get married. Amazing the wedding vows & promises we make on that day then some time later those words seem to disappear.

Oh well, off to get a slice of cake and think of something positive! Happy Birthday to Me!

Oh, sweetie. Happy Birthday to you! Some years just suck, but they lead us to years that do not suck.

Hang in there.

Happy Birthday! I think we need to get a birthday list going so that we can be the first to wish Happy Birthday, so others will not have to go through what you did...

Happy birthday sug!
Well look at that.... out of all the grief and fights you've had, he still cared enough to wish you a happy birthday. It may not seem like it now but there is still a good man in there somewhere. Maybe, you get to see again in a few years when he's learned a few things from life.

I know I was very hurt by my WW's affair and divorce for the OM, but I still called her on her birthday, it really made her day. I plan on wishing her a happy birthday next year too. Not because I want her back as my wife, because we were best friends and try as I might I can't forget her. Who knows their affair could be over by then and she may really appreciate the selfless gesture.
