What do you think his reasoning is gilly? Does he not want to get to that age, wish he didn't have to retire, wish he could retire?

It will be my DH's 65th birthday this month. I always mark birthdays on the calendar at the beginning of each year (copied from the previous year) and yesterday I turned the page over from October to November to find that DH has crossed his birthday out. Well actually he has scribbled it out so there is a nasty black splodge where his birthday should be!

I know why he has done it but I can't help but feel sad about it and I'm not sure whether he is waiting for me to mention it.

Anyway I'm really not sure what to do although I would like to mark this (what should have been) "significant" birthday in one way or another.

Any ideas?
