AIO - I feel sad. For my birthday my wife gave me cake I don't like and a bouquet of flowers

Been with my wife 10 years. I hate food with nuts in it, especially chocolate and nuts. I also have no interest in flowers.

For my birthday she got me a pistachio cake and a bouquet of flowers.

I know it's the thought that counts and I'm not angry or anything. I just feel sad my wife doesn't seem to know me.

This fits a broader pattern of her not showing much interest in the things I like or do. She says I'm hard to buy for, which I don't think is true. I have a few very clear interests - football, watches, politics, books, gym, clothes.

Am I overreacting to feel sad?
