Her Husband Got Her an ECard for her Birthday

Dear Breakfast Club,
My husband travels a lot for work, so we spend a lot of time talking on the phone or video chatting. Anyway, I turned 33 last Friday, and I made plans to go out with my friends for my birthday, since my husband was out of town. I thought he would do something special for me, like send me flowers or a present, but all he did was leave me a voicemail and send me an E-Card. And the E-Card wasn't even one that you buy, it was a free one from some unknown website. Shouldn't my husband have done more than just call me and send me an E-Card? Should I forgive him because he was out of town?
Just asking,
Nancy
