So all day he has been giving me attitude and ignoring me. The thing is when it was my birthday, he didnt give me anything or do anything, not even a card.
Is he just being a ***** ?

I'll bet he gets you something next year.

Oh dear what a situation to be in... sounds a bit like tit for tat... not good for any relationship... for starters when it was your birthday, did he explain why he didn't do anything... like did he forget and then make up for it later... your scenario seems like there's a few details missing...
If you didn't do anything for his birthday on purpose for eg.. just because he didn't do anything for yours.. this doesn't sound very healthy for a marriage...
You guys need to sit down and communicate/talk about this otherwise it becomes a petty little thing that accumulates into a bigger deal...
By giving you attitude and ignoring you he's acting like a child...
Personally I think you both need to look at things in perspective and maybe seek some counselling
Good luck!

Depends. Did you not do anything for him because he didn't do anything for you? If that's the case, I think you both need to realign your behaviors. This tit-for-tat attitude could spiral out of control real quick. Next thing you know it's going to be "I did the dishes yesterday, so you have to do it today," etc... where you're both unwilling to cut the other some slack.
Instead of getting your answer about what's going on here, you should be opening a dialog with your husband about this.

You could point out to him that he didn't do anything at all for you on your birthday. That's bound to make things ... not better.
Retaliation never helps a relationship.
OR you could give him a massage and a wild time in the bedroom, and not mention the fact that he overlooked your birthday.
Things might improve from there! Like, he'll worship you.
And remember your birthday next time.
Guys are like that.

Birthdays are a celebration of life. Wishing someone a Happy Birthday and giving them a present or card is basically like saying -- I'm happy you're here. I think you are both wrong for not acknowledging each others birthdays.

Well, giving you an attitude and ignoring you isn't cool at all. He should have definitely confronted you and said, "Hey, I really wanted to do something for my birthday", instead of acting like a child by ignoring you. If he didn't do anything for your special day, then he shouldn't expect you to do something for his either! Don't sweat it, he'll get over it.

Are you sure it's your husband's and not you boyfriend's birthday? You have some stamina, leading a double life. Well I wouldn't give you anything either for your birthday, because you have a 2 year old baby with your boyfriend.
PS : I AGREE WITH LILAC ON THIS ONE.

awww..this is so sad.
I say that you both take each other out and celebrate BOTH birthdays.....and you get him something and he gets you something. Make an agreement that it will be a special day, and put lots of thought into making it special.
Though, if he's being a ***** today, maybe wait until the clouds clear before suggesting this to him.
Good Luck

Well, he deserves the same as you got for your birthday! But.... then again you should not take days or time for granted and maybe should have done a little something for him. Then you could always remind him of what he didn't do for your Birthday!

Ending a day like that hanging out on the internet? I bet birthdays aren't the only unhappy times around your house.

Get ready - Men don't care about their birthday. He sounds like he's looking for a fight and is using the forgotten birthday as an excuse to be cross with you. Believe me - a man may occasionally check his drivers licsense to remind himself when his birthday is.
