Well guys
Today is WH b-day. I am kinda sad about it. Thinking about what we would have been doing as a family to celebrate and as I am in plan b I can't even send him a card. I think back over the years we have been together the holidays, the birthdays and all that stuff just feeling blue today

It's hard, but that's because YOU care. Despite it all, YOU still care. That's quite a difference between a WS lost in the fog and you who have to suffer with their insanity.
God bless. Stay the course with the Plan B.

It's hard but count yourself lucky. At least your WH hasn't (so far) done something for his birthday he has to rub your nose in. My WH went to a rock concert for his birthday. Some mysterious person from his work "gave" him tickets. He sent his sons cellphone pixs to brag about it.
Sometimes sticking to Plan B stopping you from doing stupid things. I felt bad about not sending a card or giving him a present. When my mom asked if she should send a card, I told her not to bother. I hope it hurt him but doubt if it did.
Grapes are versatile. Grapes can be sour, sweet, sublime as wine and fabulous even when old and dried out.

5/6: Personally served CH with divorce papers
6/6: CH F? wants to time to see if M can be saved
7/6: FCH reenters our lives to work on marriage but secretly signs papers to start divorce...what's that about?

yeah I hear that. I always worked hard to make birthdays special for him as well as the kids. Me not sending a card will have no effect as far as I can tell. He doesn't care that I didn't send him something or send a card. He has OW to do that now. My b-day was in june and he gave me a gift and a friend b-day card then blew up before he left saying I didn't apreciate the gift he gave me. (he gave me a mouse for my computer)His mom gave me jewlery that is what P.O.'d him not that I didn't appreciate it. Oh well breath deep and stay away from the phone.

Joanna,
It is tough being in Plan B during B-Day/Holidays. I went into Plan B just two days before mine. It was terrible. Thankfully some very good friends took me out to dinner. WH left presents and a card from DS in the house....
I bet no card from you will have more effect than you think. Even though he is with OW he probably (selfishly) still thought you would send him a card....
Hugs going out to you tonight. I am sorry you are feeling sad...
