A Birthday Fail

This year the fiance's birthday was on a Friday. So with no football on, my plan was for us to go out and do stuff, like go to a theme park or something away from home. For a mini us vacation like when we went to Water Country, but this time staying somewhere overnight.
But he wanted to wait til a few days before his birthday to see how he felt before actually making plans.. and unfortunately he kept going to bed and waking up not feeling good again, so a day or two before we decided to just stay home.
Then on his birthday the same happened. Which made me feel so sad for him. Even though he personally doesn't care for birthdays, especially his own..
And what made it worse was I ended up not feeling good either after we left to at least go out to eat. So we ended up only being out long enough to make a quick stop at BestBuy and Target to pick up a few things.
Then a few hours later when I felt better my mom and I went out to pick up Wendy's for us and my grandmother who was visiting for the week since they were the only place really open now.. And Chinese for the fiancé.
We ate then watched tv and eventually went back to bed. But he still didn't feel good so it wasn't a good or fun day at all.
He doesn't really care though, just felt bad that our plans couldn't be done and I just hate how sick he's been almost every day.
And maybe we'll be able to do something another time.
Photo is mine.. from his birthday in 2014, when we went and got a room at Foxwoods Casino.

I'm sorry you both felt sick on his birthday. Are y'all better now? After reading other comments, that's terrible he's been sick so long and no one can find out what's wrong. Are there any specialists he could see? My daughter has been very ill for years now and had many surgeries, but nothing helps and even the Mayo Clinic didn't know how to help her. But I pray your fiance will find some help.

Thank you. It's been a long 1.5 years. Seeing him in pain, and uncomfortable is tough. And having to miss out on stuff isn't fun. Though I get having to when not feeling well, whether me him or someone else.
I am better, it was my IBS acting up that day. Which is normal for me and more often than not.. him he's still the same as he was then, and might always be at this point. But it's better some days..

@Courtlynn I know how painful IBS can be. I pray you'll feel better and that your fiance can find a doctor to help him. The Mayo Clinic diagnosed my daughter with a pelvic floor issue with other things, but even they don't know how to repair it all.

He's not. It's an every day thing just some days better than others. Most are pretty bad though. Unfortunately. Thank you.

He's been seeing doctors, for almost two years. No one is finding anything.

@Courtlynn Does he play sports and exercise, sometimes that can do wonders.

@Juliaacv he golfs, or use to.. he hasn't in like 4-6 years at least besides a few times hitting at the range this summer, and mini golf lol. He exercises though. Sometimes day after day, other times here and there. Right now its hard for him to do with feeling sick and tired so much plus hes bad at staying at it during football season

Thanks. He didn't care. He actually cared more about disappointing me about it since I had wanted to take him out.
