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.

I'm sorry you didn't feel it was your special day...Happy Birthday!
Maybe when the pain is not so deep and fresh, you and BF can discuss how you would like to spend your birthday next year...

That...honestly doesnt sound fair.  Feeling special on your birthday doesnt mean expecting THE WHOLE WORLD to stop for you. It does mean ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGING this unique day. What did YOU do for your birthday? What did OTHERS do? What would you like for your birthday? I dont think it would be bad to just kinda toss out to your loved ones that you "would just love to try/do....for my birthday" I also dont think it would be bad for loved ones to hesitate...but then at least TRY. Even if its something small...Complaining IS NOT a birthday present. A card and a cupcake with love and care can be.  I'm sorry you didnt get anything really for your birthday.  Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Jennifer82! You are never to old to feel special on your birthday - I celebrate mine every year in a big way. I'm sorry you didn't get anything from your boyfriend except complaining about how much his life sucks...I hope he at least got you a card...just because he couldn't buy you a present doesn't mean he couldn't bake you a cake, draw you a card, take you to a park...do something for you...maybe NOT COMPLAIN for 24 hours. Maybe in this new year of your life it's time to find a boyfriend that can give you what you deserve. |

Happy late Birthday hon. I know how you feel. Most people want to feel special on their birthday. My hubby is awesome. But when it comes to special days he never prepares. We are having a hard time with money like everyone else. I feel that our guys have 12 months to prepare. even if they just take us for a ride. Cook us something, there is a way to show how much you love someone without spending money. I think guys are just wired different sometimes.
So I want to let you know that you are special, you do matter and I am sorry your day wasn't anything thoughful. Again Happy Birthday HON YOU ROCK hugs Twisted |
