Can it be my turn to cry? (Long VENT. Like a novel.)

Hoof, you've got quite a bit of stuff built up. I don't think it's really about your 40th, even though it seems you were counting on your husband planning a celebration to make everything better...I wish it could happen that way, but even when we do certain things for those we love, it's never a guarantee that they will do the same for us. I guess that's why they call it unconditional love, you know? But they do other things in their own way to show their love.

And some are just not as good as others at arranging special occasions. May I suggest that if you want a great event for your birthday, that you put yourself in charge of the planning? There's no harm in that! In fact, that's what I'm doing for my 40th next week. I'm not going to do a big party, but you sound like you're due for one--make it the way you want it, I say.

You got some good advice from blue. When I'm stressed out, I don't react to the people around me the way I normally would. Hubby may not have thought you were up for a party. *shrug* Maybe you should start looking for a cheap apartment for the relatives and try to help them into it and out of your house. I love my relatives but I wouldn't last long living with any of them. It sounds lame but try to be positive and ease them out of your home.
