The fact that you call him “the guy I’m dating” rather than boyfriend leads me to believe that the relationship is not all that serious. It is fair to be a bit hurt by this, but cut this guy some slack. Just casually mention that you are going out for your birthday or something and see how he reacts. He will prob feel bad and trip over himself to get you a present or something. It’s hard to take when someone you care about like your boyfriend, a good friend, or a family member forgets your birthday.

How to Ask Boyfriend to Marry Me? 6 Points to Bear in Mind!

Sure, you two aren’t dating yet but he didn’t even acknowledge that it was your birthday. That sounds like something important to forget. He could have done something nice for you, like take you out to dinner or cook you a meal. Didn’t have to be big an fancy but he should have done something.

At the start you try to reason it out as “oh they don’t care about birthdays, and I do, that’s ok”. But as time goes on that changes to a rotten feeling in your stomach that “oh he doesn’t care about making me feel happy” and you wonder if you’re selfish and unreasonable to want that. Multiply this by fifty issues per year and times those by 5 years with him, and all you have is a pile of resentments and sadness burying any good things in the relationship. When somebody forgets stuff this important more than once, it’s because they don’t care. My husband forgets everything, my birthday, the kids’ birthdays, anniversary’s, everything. But he makes damn sure his birthday month is well recognized and tells me for two months what he wants for his birthday.

If it’s birthdays, could he forget anniversaries? This could cause someone to bear that weight and get very resentful. Last year I remembered my mother’s birthday every day for two months in the lead up to it. At 11pm the night before I went to bed thinking I’d call her first thing in the morning.

When you’re with someone you usually dont forget two dates…..their birthday and when you decided to make it official between you two. There really isnt an excuse for forgetting a second year, its not like your birthday changes dates. My SO that I’m with now is this person. I remember the very moment I first saw her and I knew that I would spend my life with this women, she’s my everything. For the first time, I’m confident in getting old with someone, I have the courage to marry her (got the ring already) and finally see a future that I’m proud and confident of. My bf literally have a brain injury and he forget a lot of shit but never anything important about me.

The first time is understandable, the second time not so much. And if you think that it’s just another day that’s one thing, but if it’s a big deal to you it should be a big deal to him. That shows a definite lack of empathy and a possibility for some sort of narcissistic or sociopathic tendencies. And the fact that he turned around and gaslighted you, that’s dangerous.

Because the issue is that he’s in a relationship with someone who values birthdays and yet he can’t put in the very simple effort of remembering what day it is. But now that that’s cleared, forgetting your birthday twice is a bit concerning. One year, alright that can be forgiven and I would say you’re making a bigger deal than it is. But two years in a row is concerning.

If he loves you everyday and is a good partner, no issue, you can celebrate a day later. If you want a reason to get out of your relationship, take this opportunity and go. It’s already a dead post at this point, but I was blown away when I got to the end of the post and saw your ages.

When your guy is MIA, especially on the weekends, and reappears with no explanation as if nothing is wrong, don’t give him the benefit of the doubt. If you become the Wednesday night girl, you should be wondering what he is doing on a Friday or Saturday night. After a few dates, it’s only appropriate to be on his calendar during a weekend evening. He asks you out for Friday night, which appears to be a good sign as it’s one of the weekend evenings. He takes your phone number and sends you a flirty text message on your ride home saying how he can’t wait until Friday night.

‘I know people down there and I got a few messages asking what it was all about. The TikTok has been viewed more than one million times with users hailing it ‘one of the funniest things they’ve ever seen’. The couple exchanged vows during a second ceremony in Palm Beach, Florida. “The wedding was everything we had hoped for,” Shields wrote in Down Came the Rain. Shields has since commemorated May 26 as the date of her wedding anniversary.

I let the birthday thing slide because he was great about bringing me presents on regular, random days. But never the one how to delete your goodnight.io/en account day it should have mattered. I have trouble remembering birthdays of close family. Birthdays for me are not a big deal.

Also a woman, also don’t give a damn about whether an SO remembers special dates. The issue is that it’s important to OP. There is a lot going on in the world right now and possibly his life.
