Birthdays, while generally being a nice occasion to celebrate yourself, can also be the perfect venue for hurt feelings. Adrenaline runs high, expectations can soar, and even if you don’t mean it to be, it can be an emotional day. I pretty much always cry on my birthday, for some reason or another. Usually, they’re happy tears, but sometimes they’re overwhelmed tears, and sometimes they’re disappointment tears. Because people around you can let you down. It can be an opportunity for them to show you how bad they are at planning or how little they actually know about you. 

That’s what happened to one woman whose husband of almost 20 years let her down big time, and made her feel bad about it. It will probably turn out to be a birthday she will remember forever, but maybe not for the better. Read on for the story and decide if he really let her down that horribly.
