I Hate Being Forgotten

Hate it. I know that sounds selfish but for the longest time I was forgotten about by friends, family, etc. My bf remembered my bday after I told him when it was. Now he's throwing something for his best friend soon. I get it, we've only been dating for 10 months now and she's been his best friend for years. Yeah, it's just a bday and he does amazing stuff for me, but why do I feel so... jealous?

Birthdays can be hard to remember, but I know I wouldn't forget the birthday of the woman I loved. I had a crush on a girl named Sheila I talked to in high school and I never forgot her birthday, let alone an actual girlfriends. Birthdays are very important! It's celebrating you! It's your day! I would honestly be sad in your situation, but maybe he's just being a forgetful guy? It's probably not a big deal. Wait till your birthday and see how much he does for you! Maybe it will be more?

Okay, I think that's wrong. All he did was wish you happy birthday? He didn't plan anything? Yet now he's doing it for a friend? That doesn't seem right at all. Partners are the most important people in your life I think. Best friends matter, but they shouldn't receive more special attention than your lover does when it comes to birthdays. Maybe you could talk to him about it?

Oh I am right now. IDK I'm being stupid.

It's not stupid to feel bad about that, just be honest! Tell him it made you kind of sad that you both did nothing for your birthday.

Because we want to feel like the most important person

I'd be jealous about that too. Doesn't know his significant others b-day but knows some girl friend's birthday? Wow, he should know and celebrate yours not hers.

He was overseas and he's forgetful.

He wished me a happy Bday but still

Yeah, you're still justified in feeling how you feel, but yeah that sucks though.

Cause you are human

I remember the most pointless facts in general but forget people's names.
It's really embarrassing when someone remember's your name but you can't remember theirs.
i cover it up by saying "Oops sorry, I have a friend who looks just like you" 😂

You were deprived. Some misappropriation took place and projection ensued
