How would you feel or what would you do? Please!?

Ok it is my wife's brother's birthday and she is making a big deal of it and wants to get him a gift and take him to dinner, that is fine, I like her brother. But what should I do if anything when on my birthday no one even acknowledged me on my birthday, no happy birthday out anything from either of them.

Shoul just be the bigger person and say screw it? because I have to day that it really hurts my feelings and bothers me. I dont care about presents or anything but those 2 words would have been nice to hear

    Print out your question and leave it lay around near the computer so she will see it.

    Then enjoy celebrating your brother-in-law's birthday, and don't worry about yours. No use letting anger hurt you because of an anniversary.

    You should talk to your wife about it and let her know that it hurts your feelings. But for the sake of not making it a big deal, do be the bigger person and just do the stuff for her brothers birthday. Im sure she will appreciate you doing that. But talk to her about it the next day or something to show her that it bothers you that your not acknowledged for your birthday. Hope this helps out :)

    Your wife didn't wish you a happy birthday? :( That is definitely a reason to be upset. I would talk to her and tell her that you will happily go along with everything for her brother's birthday, but that it hurts that she is going all out for him when she didn't even acknowledge yours. It's always best to be honest about your feelings, especially to the person you chose to spend your life with. If you never say anything, she won't know it upset you. Good luck!

    Not knowing all of the details of your life and relationship, I think First of all, you should have said something her on your birthday. Even if your life is crazy, busy like mine, it is always important to speak out and stand up for yourself. Now that time has past, I would still bring it up and suggest something special that you would like to do with her. Because you are asking for options on what to do shows that you care about others feelings - so I am sure you would not want to make him feel bad too by saying anything in front of him. Best of luck.

    I know how you feel, but just rise above it, if you start moaning about it, they will all think that you are a kill joy! Trust me, you can't win for losing! I will say this though, in a quiet moment, I would let her know how I felt about it!
