Forgetful Boyfriend


Question Posted Monday June 28 2010, 3:33 pm

So im turning 20 tomorrow, and my mom asked me to come over to have dinner with the family. I asked my boyfriend if he'd like to go to dinner with me and he responded that he had plans already and he wouldnt be able to. Hes having a party at his new apartment.

Well, ive just noticed that he probably forgot my birthday is tomorrow. Should i just let it go and not remind him??? I dont care about presents or anything, but hes been a bit of a dick lately, and if he honestly has forgotton im probably going to be pretty upset.

What should i do?

You are on the right track already! Trust your gut and be true to yourself first! A party can be rescheduled. A birthday cannot. Don't let any guy make you cheat yourself out of anything! This is more than forgetfulness. HE has chosen a party over you. Let that sink in. Take care.

ok it kinda depends on how long you have been together.. if you guys were goin out for a week he pobbly dont even know i know im kinda late for telling you this ... just take the time to sit there for an hour or so and just talk to him on a personal level. get into his head and keep looking him in the eyes... that the key ;)

This is a party at his apartment that you hadn't heard of or been invited to?

For goodness' sake, wait before you call him out. The poor guy might be trying to plan a surprise for you. This might be, at best case, him trying to misguide you into thinking he's forgotten so that he can show up at your mom's and do something fantastic. You don't want to spoil it by going off on him before your birthday's over.

Now, if the day comes and goes with no mention from him, you have every right to go medieval on his butt. Even I, the person who can't remember a date to save their lives, manage to somehow remember my fiance's birthday. Plus, what with Facebook reminders and all, there really isn't an excuse these days.

I would pick up the phone and remind him, Simply say (Tomorrow is my birthday we are having a dinner and I would really like for you to be there) not everyone has good memories and most men are terrible with dates as so are some of us women. Maybe your boyfriend needs a reminder, If he moved into an apartment schedule is party for another night, Your birthday is once a year.


Communicate, Call him back and remind him

Yeah, I would just say lightly that the dinner is for your birthday tomorrow. Most likely he'll be totally embarrassed that he forgot. Good luck, let us know how it turns out!
