Today is my birthday. I've had congratulations from all my close friends and family, colleagues, and even my school friends. Even Dasha's ex-husband sent me a transfer, not my current boyfriend. We've been together for a year, and everything seems good: he's adequate, mature, attentive, caring, treats my children wonderfully, met my parents, and they accept him very warmly, everything is super. He always listens to my requests, gives compliments, doesn't cross boundaries, and even helped fix small things around the house. Sex is great and just how I like it. But he forgot about my birthday. Girls, this is the disappointment of the year! How can someone forget? How? I can't wrap my head around it, it's hurtful to tears, just unbearable. Besides, I never expect a huge celebration; a simple bouquet of flowers, a gift, and heartfelt warm words are enough. He came home and asked with surprised eyes, "What happened, why are you so sad?" As they say, if you have to explain, then there's no need to explain. He just sent me 10,000 [currency unit] to my card. But I don't need it ((( I just wish that once a year, someone wouldn't forget about me without reminders... I'm writing this post just to vent and hear your thoughts.

So maybe he doesn't even know what your birthday is?

Tanya Chamkaeva I don't know, for my last birthday we had just started dating, only two months in, and I told him a week before that my birthday was coming up and I wanted to spend it with him, and that's exactly what happened. He says he doesn't remember dates well, but there's only one date, damn it!

Things happen. It's clear he didn't do it on purpose, he just got mixed up with the dates and missed it. Definitely not on purpose. He gave you a gift and showed up, so you can let go of your anger.

So, to put it in words, he forgot your birthday, which is sad? Is he even aware of when your birthday is?

Tanya Chamkaeva Well, I don't remember dates either, my job is such that I don't always realize what day it is. Do you need romance? Look for a romantic man, I, for example, am a pragmatist, and accordingly, I won't appreciate these little flowers and cute gestures.

Kondrateva Ekaterina Where is the gift?? He just came, like he missed me. I asked if he forgot anything, he said no. I told him how I felt, he started apologizing. I left, it was 8 PM, and now he sent a transfer... well, it's a crappy apology...

My friend still forgets my birthday! And every time she asks my sister (who remembers the approximate range 😁). We've been friends for over 10 years. Not everyone is good at remembering dates.

Tanya Chamkaeva It feels strange to me, if you don't want to remember something, set a reminder on your phone... this attitude is very telling for me.

Yuliya My close friend also forgets, or always congratulates me a couple of days late… I don't expect it from her anymore, I've accepted it, and I'm not mad, but this from my loved one is such a screw-up..

Thank you, I was curious to see if the person who has been talking about how much they love for over six months would remember. Well, I've satisfied my curiosity...

But here, we don't even live together, and I just want some simple romance, darn it

You haven't been in a relationship for too long, it seems. I remembered that when my husband and I were just dating, he invited me to dinner, and it turned out to be his birthday. At that point, it hadn't even occurred to me to ask him when his birthday was.
Basically, if you haven't been together for a full year yet, it's logical for the person whose birthday is coming up to mention it and invite you to celebrate. It sounds like you didn't invite him to celebrate your birthday together? Otherwise, he would have known when it was.

My husband forgets all birthdays 😅 he barely remembered his own. His mom used to be his reminder, now it's me

Tatyana Rubtsova No big surprises, just nice little things. He's not very romantic in that regard. For some reason, I prepared for his birthday in August in advance. I ordered his favorite perfume, which took several days to arrive, and after work, I made a cake. Then, my son and I went to congratulate him (after my work). I understand that maybe he forgot, but there are phone reminders a week or two in advance… it's just not important to him, but it's important to me, and that's all.

Tatyana Rubtsova You are you, and he is he. Especially since he's not romantic and hasn't been one for surprises before.
It's better to be more cunning here and start hinting about two months in advance with things like, "Oh, my birthday is coming up soon, I saw a video about how..." and so on.

Kseniya I didn't even celebrate my birthday this year, I'm not in the mood. The kids are sick, I'm not feeling well, and I don't look great. Last year, I wanted to, I told him about my birthday in advance (he could have noted it down right then), he gave me flowers, invited me on a date, I dressed up, and we had a great time with good vibes. Well, that's because I wanted it then, and I made it happen.

M svetlana I've kind of gotten used to it. He remembers roughly when it is. And I remind him – at least a month in advance. Before this, I didn't even know this was a thing 😂 As for my birthday, I know his mother reminds him, but I don't – I don't like celebrating birthdays.

So at least once a year, it sounds silly, when you write, help, compliments, requests... It's all there, but I forgot, yeah, my bad, maybe problems at work or I just mixed up the date...

The main thing is not to take revenge, otherwise it will be unstoppable. In the sense that I forgot about their birthday out of spite.

Kseniya Oh… I thought you hadn't even celebrated your birthday with him yet.
If you already celebrated, then of course he should have marked it in his calendar right away. Sending 10k after the fact is really the pits, in my opinion. It would have pissed me off. I wouldn't hide my resentment.

By the way, another thought for you before bed. You wanted to check if he loves you, well, your ex remembers. Does he love you more, it turns out? Is that why he became an ex? Obviously not. Does love for you mean remembering the date? Or how he treats you the other 364 days of the year?
