For My 40th Birthday, My Family Kept Saying, 'This Year's Going To Be Big.' My Wife Smirked Every Time I Asked What They Were Planning - 'You'll Remember It Forever,' She Said. The Day Came... And No One Showed Up. No Texts. No Calls. By Evening, I Saw Their Posts - My Wife, My Kids, My Friends - All At A Lake House I Paid For. The Caption Read: 'Don't Worry, He's Used To Being Left Out.' In One Clip, My Wife Was Hugging My Brother While Everyone Cheered. I Didn't Comment. I Just Booked A Flight. Two Days Later, They Found Out What I Did - And My Phone Wouldn't Stop Ringing.
