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?

You're right, he is forgetful and he did wish me a happy bday but he was overseas. But he is still overseas and planning something for her though :/ That makes me a little sad.

I get it, he's not perfect but I'm sending him stuff :C

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.
