justagirliegirl Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 I'm hoping my bf hasn't forgotten my birthday.
Tony T Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 If he has, take yourself out to dinner...and invite him to pay!

tinktronik Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 I remind mine every year .I also remind him of his father's ,mother's ,daughter's, son's ,his brother's ,and his OWN birthday too .So its not really that big of a deal . Oh I have to remind him of all hollidays too.Including Christmas . But then he can tell me all about copasitors or reactors or the migration patterns of a rare species of birds , whenever I want him to.
whichwayisup Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 lol that is good! He forgot. I reminded him. Still mad at him. You reminded him after he forgot, right? Well, you have to tell him BEFORE it's your birthday...Like the day before. Don't hold it against him! Many men don't remember birthdays. I had to train my hubby so he'll remember. He associates it with a hockey player's number, though he does remember the month. So, try that - Depending on what sport your guy is into.
superconductor Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 He forgot. I reminded him. Still mad at him. Oh, relax already. If he treats you well and is kind, considerate and all the rest of that good stuff, don't break his 'nads because birthdays aren't such a big deal to him. That's just part of who he is, and if he changed that then he'd be different than he is now... which is a bit self-defeating, because you were attracted to him as he is. (Unless, of course, you're one of those who takes on partners as a project to improve them, which is never a good idea.)
Author justagirliegirl Posted August 6, 2006 Author Posted August 6, 2006 I think it is ok to have expectations in a relationship and my birthday is the only holiday I expect my family to remember. Having my birthday acknowledged is part of who I am. He managed to remember a few online friends birthdays and even reminded me to wish a mutual friend happy birthday. He does remember some. He just didn't remember mine or any of his other family members. I did remind him before. I think we make far too many excuses for laziness these days. I guess you men wouldn't mind having your birthday forgotten then.
Outcast Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 He just didn't remember mine or any of his other family members. If he doesn't remember his own family, you're in good company. Next year, write it into his diary or on his calendar.
Author justagirliegirl Posted August 6, 2006 Author Posted August 6, 2006 If he doesn't remember his own family, you're in good company.

superconductor Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 I guess you men wouldn't mind having your birthday forgotten then. Got that right.
Walk Posted August 7, 2006 Posted August 7, 2006 First year my bf and I were together we went out with my parents about two-three weeks before my birthday, and my parents of course asked if I'd like to do anything, or get anything. My bf looks at me and says, "for what?" I said "uh... for my birthday..." He responded, "ooohhh..." long pause. "when is that?" So don't feel too bad. But it sucks to have it forgotten..
BeFree Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Happy birthday! Mine was the 3rd. I start reminding my BF about three months prior. By the time it gets here he is so tired of hearing about it. Poor thing. He is the best birthday gift giver in the whole world!
P1xie Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 It sucks not to be remembered. Birthdays are a big thing in my family. I have a huge family 7 siblings. My mom has always made birthdays special for each one of us. It's our day. Lucky for me my bf seen that right away and so far in six years he has never forgotten. In fact he gets all excited about it and starts mentioning it a week before. You should ask him to make it up to you by having a Happy Unbirthday
Sally00 Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 You can remind him... atleast bring it up casually in a conversation.
Citizen Erased Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 My boyfriend wouldnt dare forget mine. Because he knows I will just forget about his. Oh, and also Christmas (his birthday is a few days after Christmas). He doesn't want to miss out on gifts and I give kick-ass gifts, if I do say so myself.
