 Dear Annie:


I will be 40 this year and really want to celebrate this milestone 1 in my life. In the past, my husband has told me he needs plenty of notice to plan something special for my birthday, but we've never done much.
Six months before my birthday, I asked him to plan a party for me. He said he thought it was a great idea and would take care of it. Well, Annie, it's only one week until the big day and he hasn't planned any kind of party. I am crushed 2.
I never ask this man for anything. I am the cheerleader, the cook, the laundress and the nurse. I wasn't asking for an elaborate 3 event, just 30 people or so.
If I want the party now, I'd have to plan it myself. I am so hurt. Am I wrong? - Doesn't Matter AnymoreDear Doesn't Matter:
Your husband likely had no idea what to do or where to begin. He was overwhelmed 4 by the need to make it special-so he procrastinated 5.
Unless he's planning to surprise you, your expectations may have been unrealistic. He needed guidance. Do something less grand for this birthday and plan a party for your 45th. Be sure to give him a guest list and some practical suggestions.
