My wife forgot my birthaday and when she remembered, she just lauged like it was no big deal?

talk to her about it, she's your WIFE

How old is she? Well you really don't want to start a tit for tat war where you are both mean to each other each birthday, its not the recipe for a long and happy marriage at all. However you need to let her know how you feel, try using humour, like when you give her a really nice present and she enjoys the feeling of receiving, tell her how much you are looking forward to next year and her spoiling you too, and make sure you remind her before next year not to forget again like this time, but again use humour and tease her a bit so she gets the message without getting the huff.

Hmm, that's a tough one. Is this the first time she has made you feel forgotten, or does it happen often? Honestly the best thing to do is just to talk to her...I know men don't like to express their feelings, but tell her you felt hurt that she didn't do anything for your birthday and that it makes it hard for you to want to reciprocate. If she acts like she doesn't care, then you have bigger problems on your hands. But maybe she didn't realize that your birthday is special to you, too. I always make a big deal for my boyfriend on his birthday, but some women think men don't care about birthdays.

Yes she is! You already know it would descending to her level but you dont have to get her anything fantastic. A really nice card with a $50 gift card to the hardware store or out to the strip club. You know, treat yourself on her birthday but tell her its for her. She may get even but wont it be worth it to see the f'd up look on her face.

Suggest you two plan a joint birthday celebration (to make up for your missed one, and to celebrate her upcoming one) or just mutually agree to let her's go by without any fanfare either, since that's what she did with yours...

Is she a spoiled brat??? It would really require more information than is contained in your post for someone to determine that, since we don't know her...

Should you get her anything??? That's entirely up to you...you're the one who has to live with her...

If you are newly married, dont get anything expensive. I suppose an eye for an eye is reasonable, but it isnt worth loosing your wife if you love her. Just do what you think is best. Good luck

i think the best thing to do is to buy her a present, but only give it to her at the end of the day. when she wonders where her present is let her know that you were disappointed that she did not get you a present, and then when she is sulking give her the present. she will feel guilty and apoligise

Surely,you have forgiven her...If not,take the opportunity now,in forgiving her and making this year,her best birthday celebration ever...God forbid but suppose this year was the last opportunity..

so simon you got nothing for your birthday, i would be so tempted to buy myself something that i really want and she would really dislike. get it out on her birthday all wrapped up and sit down infront of her and open it. might make for a very volitile day, but lets face it your birthday wasn't exactly pleasant was it.

No reason to be petty.

I would however sit my partner down & say:

Hey, you blew off my b-day. I'm not doing anything special for yours. I got you a gift because I care, but that's it.

Forget hers as well. If she brag about it, laugh as well. If she think it's childish and offensive, tell her how does that feel when someone you live with forget your birthday and laugh about it.
