I turned 29 years old on June 5th. I don't think anyone ever out grow the feeling of wanting to feel special for the one day out of the year, on their bday. Its expected of me to be that understanding girlfirend of why my bf couldn't get me a gift. On my bday I have to hear how he can't get me anything bc he has gas to pay, his child support, and working barely 3 days a week. Its only one day out of the year where I dont want to be that understanding gf. Its one day out of the year where I should be feeling loved and special but I have to be understanding of his circumstances. Even on my bday I have to share it with the burden in his own life.
