oh I'm so sorry your husband said that. And I'm sorry you feel this way about your birthday - I have similar feelings every year. This past year wasn't so much fun, I only saw one person all day and he got angry at me =( =( was quite sad.

For me , I kind of help fulfill the prophecy because I don't reach out to people. Honestly... this past year, the most fun was this:

I took MYSELF out and pampered myself.

You know what? If you want sushi or Thai, go for it! if your husband wants to come let him... if your friends want to come let them. But go. Take the food to a park if the weather is nice and you're alone... I love coffee shoppes and reading so thats what I did this year.
