cessna Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Ha, it's funny how her list of nice, thoughtful things her boyfriend did went on and on and on... 1
Versacehottie Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 oh, i think it's normal to want your bf to do something nice on your birthday no matter what your age is. The question is did he do enough? YES. Or act like a jerk? NO

Or act like a jerk? NO At 27 I couldn't give a **** about birthdays any more. In fact I haven't cared for the last ten years. I worked every birthday since I was 16 and I don't advertise the fact that it is my birthday because why should someone else care when I don't even care myself? It's just a day like any other. People need to get over themselves. 2

People need to get over themselves. Actually I don't agree. I would handle your birthday like that if you were my bf or friend since that's the way you feel about it. I think it's a perfect day to celebrate people you care about if they DO care about doing something special on that day. You can't expect everyone to live life your way because you are over it. It's a little cynical. It's not entitled; it's what most people do even grandparents. It's a happy occasion. If you don't want the attention, that's fine. But don't take it from others because you can't deal. 1

That's years not months, apparently, though it's hard to tell... 1

But I did laugh at that.

Qboro90 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Let's also not forget that she chose to go out to dinner with her guy best friend the night before while her BF literally waited for her to get done being with another guy to see her and be with her at midnight. Doesn't matter if the guy is just a friend or whatever he is. If I was your BF and you wanted me to wait around while you grabbed drinks with another dude I wouldn't be do thrilled about it. 1
Versacehottie Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 That's true but this girl did get the attention and a whole lot more and she's still not happy. Oh yeah, you will get no argument from me on the fact that she is being unreasonable and I said so in my previous posts. She's not wrong though to want to have a special birthday; some of us want that on the day. She got special treatment though and thus should not be complaining or upset. The comment you quoted was only in response to the fact that she was "old" enough to forgo birthdays or anyone who wants attention on birthday is wrong. That's not fair. We should be gracious about whatever gifts/attempts to entertain on birthday though. OP was wrong about that part.
Diezel Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Yeah wow - but I never understood the "celebrate ME!!' mentality of birthdays. So what do you have planned for his birthday? I never have either, specially when it was the mom who did all the work. And at 29, people should be over the birthday thing. At a certain age, you just take a day off from work and relax and call it a day. If you are really lucky, it lands on a weekend and you go out with people you love and enjoy it a little more. But if you need to feel "special" on your birthday, then there's a lot more going on there...
AliOop Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Oh. My. God. My jaw dropped at reading the OP. You can't be serious, you just can't. You come off as the most entitled, spoiled, princess-type. Let this guy go so he can find someone worthwhile. You deserve to be kicked to the curb.
