Oh I can relate.
Alas, who says that social and cultural traditions are ignored by men? too many I'm afraid, but the truth is many men fret over these occaisions, wanting our wives to be happy and proud. Happy we remembered and proud of our gift. And alas relieved of the social pressure to defend her man, who forgot or remember but messed up with the gift. No pressure at all. Carry on, I feel your stress, it's not pain, but stressful. I love my wife dearly, but these birthday and anniversery pressures are things I could do with out LOL
My wife has one of those -0 birthdays next year. I am still trying to figure out this year amidst covid.
I know she wants something special next year, which almost gives me a get out of jail free card for this year...
... but its going to be two years since we could celebrate with friends, so I feel the need to celebrate with friends... especially since the wife was more social then me, but covid has made her reclusive...
... so I feel compelled to get her out of the house... our government says its safe... and I think sure, I believe you, and the check is in the mail...

I think it would be easier to say - here is my card - go and get something nice for yourself - but there is also no fun in that! :D The pressure is part of the value :)
My wife doesn't want a party - but I was hoping her friends (all turning the same this year) would organize a big event like they did a decade ago :)
Yes, it’s true, gift cards or birthday cards with cash are always acceptable. But the pressure, effort or love you put into a gift, like a post, creates value. 😊
And a group party would be great, it takes the pressure off too LOL
