My Husband Said I Was Too Old at My Birthday Party — My Friend Then Did Something on My Behalf

Yesterday was my 57th birthday, and contrary to popular belief, I’m actually looking forward to growing older. Being confident in your identity and feeling free from the need for other people’s acceptance comes from knowing who you are.

During the celebration, Mike was acting in an unbearable manner. He was acting in a passive-aggressive manner from the beginning of the celebration, criticizing my outfit and makeup.
