Just a rant no one to talk to.
Am I being sensitive or reasonable?

It’s hard to know as an outsider without seeing how you’re being treated outside of this. Hearing the thank you and also acknowledging how much effort you put into him this week is great! Remember your above statement saying that he hasn’t been feeling like himself lately… men also can go through depression, could be seasonal depression so if that is what he is experiencing, then him acknowledging you and giving his thanks may be the most he can muster at the moment. I think it sounds sweet from both of your parts. Without seeing the inner makings of your relationship anyways

I think what you did was super sweet!! Sounds like you made his birthday special in part because you were already feeling alone and maybe you were trying to use that as a way to connect? Maybe there’s a deeper issue there too. What’s his love language? It sounds like yours maybe gift-giving/acts of service.

Girl I’m in the same boat but with my husband. Our baby is almost 2 weeks and he had been doing such a good job taking care of the baby and I. I had gotten him a gift from the baby just a sentimental thing. He didn’t even say anything much. Halloween comes around and I carved the babies first pumpkin while he sat and watched videos on his phone and tried to tell me it was my fault I didn’t speak up but yet my mom and I had a full blown conversation twice right beside of carving the pumpkin. I think as new moms it’s hard for any one else but another mom to know what we are truly going through and feeling. My question is what makes you feel appreciated? What could he do that makes you feel special and voice that to him because you deserve to feel appreciated and special too.

If Noone has ever put that much effort into him or his birthday he may not have known how to react to such a gesture. I'm sure hes very appreciative but may lack the means of communicating that.
