Hi Annie,
Happy Belated Birthday to you, you are a libra same as me....
Don't be sad.
That's one of the difference between man and woman but yet the truth abt marriage life.
Some guys will change for better, more caring, more committed
But some will remain no change.
Most women think that Marriage life = Doing things together
Well most men think otherwise; they still live their life as normal. going out with buddies etc
As mentioned previously there are couples who quarreled because of: "Doing things together" issue.
Well guess his action is from the past habit. For your past birthdays or your weekday datings, does he norm send you home? If no, he was just reacted like this very normally....get what i mean?
He sensed your disappointment by offering to send you home out of the norm, trying his best to console you for not able to give you your "perfect birthday flower", well, give him some credit for sensing you unhappiness- at least he is not insensitive, just that "a step behind your perfect birthday celebration".
Optimistic thinking, At least you get to spend the birthday together, some gals only received present thru UPS/NOEL.
My thought on "BGR":
Sometimes because of lady being considerate, not letting them sending us home, has become his "NO NEED to send her home".
So for my 9 years dating with him, unless he need to book in to camp, if not he have to send me home cos "my house's safety not very good", giving him reason that make him feel that it is his responsibility that he have to see me safely home... but once in a while, give him some "sweets".. by showing him our thoughtfulness...
But think you may have to change this slowly...old habit dies hard.
Use good reasons to make him see that things to be done "in your way".Sensibly but not domineering...
My Anata does not have a habit to report his whereabout to his family members. but i told him, for just the 2 of us, living in the house, it is his duty to report his whereabt, so i have no worry abt his safety etc... so now he will sms me whenever "on the way" when he started out from his workplace to home... or sms me to hv dinner without him cos he need to go for ent and will be home late.
Default to be the one who prepare the dinner... cook it or buy it.. then he will inform you whether is he coming hm for dinner. "able to keep track his whereabt"... hahahah
