Birthday Girl

Birthday Girl
Birthday Girl (2001)

IMDB rating: 6.00

Plot: Internet love connections and mail-order brides rarely ever work out, and John (played by Ben Chaplin) should have known. Having never been lucky in the game of love and tired of waiting for the perfect woman to come along, John decides to take his chances and orders a mail-order bride from Russia online. At first, things seem perfect: his new bride Nadia (Nicole Kidman) is a gorgeous woman, and although she may not speak much English, her skills in the bedroom more than make up for any communication problems. When Nadia’s ‘cousins’ unexpectedly arrive to celebrate her birthday, John is drawn into their web of corruption and crime.

How can I compromise a social life with my husband?
I am 22 years old. I got married to my husband at age 20 and had a baby at 21. I spent all of the 21st birthday and the rest of that year taking care of my daughter and doing nothing else. Now I want to get back to having a bit of a social life. I’ve told him I wish to go out once of twice a month with my friends to a local bar. He says no, he says I make him look bad because I can’t be a normal woman and just settle down. He says I want to be a party girl. But I really don’t, I just want time to socialize with my female friends and just relax just a couple times a month. I really don’t see how this is to much to ask for. On top of it all, he is only 20 but I feel he’s acting like he’s 40. We argue all of the time about this, and divorce comes up everytime. I don’t want to get a divorce and have my child lose her father over something so simple, but he won’t compromise.. Is there any way around this? I don’t know what to do..


Can you compromise with the activity – would he be okay with you going over to a friends house for drinks, or having your friends over for some girl time once or twice a month?
munkeroos | Feb 04, 2010


Oh you both married so young! This is not an issue at all, really, you just want to hang out with your girlfriends in a fun social setting. You’re a woman in a free country, you’re not going to cheat on your husband because you’re having a couple of beers in a bar with your girls and talking about your job and your family. As long as someone sober is keeping an eye on your kid, and you’re respecting each others friendships and not trapping each other to unrealistic expectations, it’s fine.
If you want your marriage to last, you should meet a counselor. You both have images in your heads about what’s normal and what’s not in a marriage, and they are unrealistic.
ryssee | Feb 04, 2010


Just go! Tell him you need to get out of the house every now and then
Holly | Feb 04, 2010


so, people who are 40 don’t go out once in a while with friends? you speak of compromise, and yet you stereotype people in any way fashion or manner. all action has consequences. clearly you don’t have the maturity to deal with marriage and a child. if you can’t deal with that, you have to let go of one or the other. he’s too immature to deal with your issues. and you are too immature to deal with his. and both of you are narcissistic people who are neglecting the one person they should try to spend the most time with. you live with the actions you take. dont’ let your daughter suffer because of it.
Emotionally Yours | Feb 04, 2010


Tell him yes, I am 21 and want to party.
Our child is our joint responsibility not just my responsibility.
If we divorce you will owe me child support and will have our son every other weekend.
What I am asking for is not unreasonable.
The ‘golden rule’ is one night out alone one night out together but many couples settle on every other week.
He should stay in touch with his friends as well.

I do not want to be a home-body for the rest of my life. If you do, that’s OK you can spend your "evening off" any way you want but let me spend my evening off anyway I want.
I love you, you’re my husband, and I’m not going to do anything disrespectful to our marriage.
I trust you as well if you want to go out with your friends.
If you have concerns about what we do, we should sit down and talk about what we are comfortable with. [For a point of reference, some couples have a strict no-friends-of-the-opposite-sex rule and would not go out to bars, most are good with a boys/girls night-out and playful flirting, others swing - huge spectrum.]

Stay focused on what you want to be happy – not anything about him or what he does or any assumptions about why he wants what he does.
Ask him why, ask him what he is concerned about.
Mr. Fix It | Feb 04, 2010


The bigger issue seems to be trust. It takes two people to hold a marriage together and only one to tear it apart. You are both entitled to breaks away from the norm to socialize with friends. So long as you can put trust in your relationship and not jeopardize the vows you took when you married.
Good luck.
Sonny | Feb 04, 2010


You know the answer. He isnt the one for you. Not many people stay together that get together at that age. By the way he wouldnt go anyway cause he would mess up your good time. Dude is playing house with you. Your life isnt starting good till you hit 25. Take care of the little one and next time he say leave, have a plan and run like hell. He will be there for the lil one but if you go back to him then good luck. Not a good move
splash27401 | Feb 04, 2010


Big news–your a mother and wife now. Want to remove those items from your resume, get a divorce. Give custody to father,mother item gone/ wife item removed now party girl.
Its not so simple; if it was you would not be writing here.
Or as that saying goes/ you made your bed for at least the next 18 years so lay down in it and be quiet.
Develop a social life with your husband and other similar couples
tjdepere2003 | Feb 04, 2010


maybe you can socialise with your friends AND him? maybe he feels insecure about you being in a bar with a group of girls, but he would feel more comfortable if you were in mixed company of friends you both knew.

if you want more of a social life, perhaps it is time to arrange some bbq’s or picnics, dinner parties etc with other couples. afterall, you chose to get married and have a child, so trying to live a single life now is probably not a healthy option given you were married so young and are arguing with your husband.
NickyJ | Feb 04, 2010


If you like to drink and he doesn’t there is no way he is going to let you go out because he doesn’t understand it. If he drinks take him with you and he’ll get bored with all the girl talk and go shoot pool with some guys if there is a pool table.
My question is which one of you brings up the D word when you fight?
That word is only used as a last resort! After you have tried all other possibilities of resolving the issue. Bottom line there has to be some flexibility in any negotiation.
Maybe, you could do him before you go out so, he knows you won’t cheat on him.
Hey, It’s just a plan. I didn’t say it was a good one.
Christopher | Feb 04, 2010


Since divorce keeps coming up in arguments, it probably is not a good time to start going out partying. He probably feels insecure, you may feel resentful, mix some alcohol in and people do stupid things. Invite your friends over to socialize. Or go shopping together during the day. Go get your nails done together. Start exercising together. Or something that is less threatening to your man.

I saw the Grim Reaper but he only popped up everytime iClosed my eyes….?
okay so i had this really bad urge to get up and just walk barefoot to wherever my feet took me but i wasnt up for it. So i told my bestie about it at school the next day and she told me if it happened again go for it and i was like okay. two days later i had that urge and so i went out the back of my house, kicked off my slippers and walked to the alley behind my house. it was about twenty degrees outside but the air felt normal to me and the cold ground felt wonderful against my feet… i only walked up half of the alley because something told me to stop… during this time i did stop and turn around to see if someone was following me because (ever since i was a little girl) it always felt like someone was watching me(and no i dont think its God or whoever). so i go back to my room to go to sleep (mind blank, super relaxed for some strange reason, and freakishly comfortable) so i lay under my blanket and as soon as i close my eyes, my small journey replays in my head only this time when i turn completely around to see if someone is following me, i run straight into the Grim reaper and stare at his face in wonder…the image i see only shows that he is wearing a dark cloak with the hoodie on and it makes his face only seem like a shadow and red eyes beam back at me. and he had the regular bird feet a raven would have. so i open my eyes to my dark room and its solid quiet and empty…then about after nine tries of closing my eyes to not vision the Grim Reaper, i finally got him out of my head…i dreamed that night too but i can not remember for anything in the world what it was about. but then the next day at school we were taking notes in world history and the topic of the day ironicall had something to do with the Grim Reaper…. WTF (and i usually dont say that but i dont want to be explicit on yahoo)

I’ve never heard atheists do any name calling. I certainly wouldn’t disparage anyone’s sincerely held faith. Nor would I try to shake that faith–true faith is unshakable. However, I do bristle when a xian makes false claims about atheism or gay people. Please give us a link to an actual posting of an atheist that is in any way a rant against xians. I’m willing to believe you that someone has posted something of offense, but I haven’t seen it.

What is the fastest way to get to/get around Manhattan?
I’m gonna be traveling from Mountain Lakes, NJ to do some research at the New York Public Library and the Department of Records. What is the best way to get into Manhattan? And what is the best way to get up and down Manhattan fastest (and also cheapest). I’m gonna be traveling from 6th street up to 42nd street.


My friend, the quikest way to get to and around Manhattan is by public transit. It the cheapest and fastest way to get around.

Since you’re coming from Mountain Lakes, you can take NJ Transit’s Montclair-Booton Line from there to Penn Station in New York. Once in the city, you can take the subway to go to Lower Manhattan and the New York Public Library’s Main Branch in Midtown.

Good luck

Native New Yorker | Jan 12, 2010


Subways. Look at a map when you get there and simply find the one that gets you from point a to b. You may have to transfer.

If you question this, driving is a no no, and walking that many blocks would take to long. It is also the cheapest way to travel.
austin | Jan 12, 2010


Within NYC the best way to get around is clearly the subway. It beats every other mode of transportation hands down, particularly within Manhattan.

I don’t know where Mountain Lakes is, so I can’t help with the rest. However, I strongly suggest that you take mass transit INTO the City. You’ll find it’s much easier to take a train or bus in than driving in and having to figure out what to do with your car once your here!
LJ | Jan 12, 2010


Honestly?

The subway. I recommend taking a taxi or something into the city, but around Manhattan, the fastest way is to take the subway. Mountain Lakes to Manhattan is 45 minutes without traffic, but there’s always traffic, so it’s usually around an hour and a half. Though I’m kind of a hypocrite in that area (never use the subway!), the most efficient way is the subway in the city. Buy yourself a MetroCard and save yourself time and money.

How do you explain extreme reserve in people?
Usually these are people for whom extreme reserve has been modeled by parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, neighbors, fellow church members. Any show of emotion is seen as weak and "lower class", although girls and women are allowed to show some emotion as "feminine". Extreme reserve is seen as "classy" and "polite", even "respectable". Generally reserve can be relaxed only during periods of drinking alcohol or sometimes in sports. The ideal in such a society is the businessman, the industrialist, sometimes the physician or surgeon. These are societies where only extroversion is admired, and introversion is not. That is, the allowable interest must be on facts, things, sensory data, and its correlates in money, possessions, clothes, cars, boats, homes and so on. There is very little perceived value in thinking except to further one’s wealth or personal status, or in feelings, or analysis, or anything related to art and creativity. Generally these people learn to feel uncomfortable physically and sexually, unless in male pursuits of visceral sexuality, often illicit. Women are taught sexuality is only for making babies and for attracting prestigious boyfriends and husbands. Otherwise, any libido left over should be discharged in tennis, golf, horseback riding, or maybe gardening and the like. Extremely reserved people maintain a psychic barrier between themselves and the rest of life and people, or try to. They want to regard themselves as "special", "entitled". Typically they acquire some wealth and learn with disappointment it does not alone make them "better" than others in anyone’s eyes or even their own. Hence a sense of extreme reserve does serves that purpose, especially when undertaken as a group of reserved families in association with each other, e.g., living in an upscale neighborhood, belonging to the same country club, belonging to the same Protestant church.


I’ve noticed the same thing, but you put it into words so well. I grew up in a reserved type household, but I always admired extroverts.
