I am really upset..

I would suggest that lets wait and see if he can't really come and celebrate with you on your birthday, we never know what he is up to..he may want you to think of he could not come but then he has so many plans without your knowledge instead?..right?..you were engage already and i believe that such occassions would not be forgotten..there maybe a lot of surprises coming from him for you..or if he really cant make it im pretty sure he would call you on that day to greet you then give you a presents or card as soon as you've met.. btw hapi bday..cheer up girl!

That's really upsetting, but you may want to talk things over with him. He may have reasons that are valid for not being able to come.

If this relate to his important work and he can't really come then you should understand him. Soon or later, you will live him the rest of your life and then you will have to understand more about his work and try your best to understand this. However, if he does this to you very often then you have to ask what is really going on with him. I know work and money is important but at least he has to take sometimes off for his family also. For right now, you have to understand him and then try to find out if he tried to tell u the truth or not.

I understand your disappointment but I also know that sometimes it is hard to get time off from work. In some cases it is for financial reasons. I know that if I take a day off from work or even a few hours it really upsets my budget. Does he have to travel to see you? Maybe you could try for another date and celebrate your birthday together on that date??? Best of luck and don't let this get you too down.

A birthday party or gift is important but not most important. Forget about it and go ahead with your lover for your good future.

I, don't know if he is true or not, if he is serious about you, I think you should open your eyes, and see if he telling you the truth. Does he have any women in his office? If the answer is yes, you should wake up and check by yourself, otherwise you are living in dark dream. I hope is right, it's good for both of you. Bye

I think you have to discern whether or not he is telling you the truth. How has your relationship been otherwise? To be engaged to someone is serious. You should both have similar goals about your future and both want to be exclusively with each other. You have to keep your eyes and mind open to the truth. Do not be fooled by words. It takes action to know the truth. If you feel he is being honest with you and he makes an effort to acknowledge your birthday, even if it is not on the exact day, then you don't have to be mad or upset. If, however, he is always coming up with excuses, you will have to examine your relationship to see if it is for real or not. You don't want to plan a big wedding down the road and have to call it off at the last minute. This happened to my cousin's daughter. I got the wedding invitation and the wedding cancellation notice in the same day. It is terrible mental pain to go through when you think that the other person loves you but it turns out that he was only stringing you along. Good luck and be honest with yourself also.

well maybe he really try his best to go there and/or he is planning something on your birthday. i mean he may surprise you on 24th. anyway just understand him he will make a time for your birthday....

You should not stress on this issue more.He may doubt you to act dominating.Well,you have already invited him and he had given a date.Why should you call back to confirm his visit?Let you wait till the day.Don't expect more.Hold on you feelings up to your marriage.You can deal him after that.LOL!Cheers!

I think thats wrong, but Im sure hes doing the best he can, so you shouldnt be sad or worried, Im sure hed come if he had the chance, there would be absolutely no reason for him not to come if not for that work, although, Im sure youll see him on your mext birthday, or his, if its before yours, Happy-mYlotting

I think you should take the matter a bit slow as you both got engaged recently you both should take steps thinking twice, i hope you both have met several times after your engagement, if not i think its almost 6 months and you should talk to him if he is not satisfactory with your talk.then talk to your parents about it.Because it is very necessary that you both know each other well before your marriage.May either of them have some problems, i pray there wont be any but we cant judge anything.So i think you should talk about this to him.

It is complicated. If you really love him, wouldn't it make sense that you want him to be happy rather than troubled? I understand that it feels bad that he couldn't come for your birthday but then if there are really things that stall him, is it better to understand than to blame?

I am too a job men.. doing service.. Its realy difficult to get holidays.. in that time.. because now any boss need small reason to fire any employee.. So may be there will be a fair reason.. You understand better that man.. So don't mind it.. Celebrate your birthday when he get holidays.. Don't be upset.. enjoy your birthday with other freinds and relatives and Stay happy forever. happy birthday in advance..

It is hard to say if you want to be upset to him or not. but for some they would react so easily and pick up an argument. but to you i would simply say think about it so well that maybe perhaps he had lots of things to do at work and maybe he is busy somehow. regardless whatever that may comes in your mind. neglect it. make it a fact that circumstance do occur in such instance like this. Since its your birthday coming and he is not going to be there. A simple greeting and a call would lighten your special day. Be contended what is given and be satisfied of what is provided. It's the thought that counts. :) The simplier the girl gets what should she expect is that be natural and acceptance is a better achievement in a relationship to go on a better future.

I think your fiancee should have a really good reason why he can't see you on the 24th. He should be able to before or after work to give you a card and present. Then he could take you out for a day or the evening somewhere special when he has time off work. Good luck. Happy Birthday for Wednesday.

I think maybe you should give the guy a break! You can't get time off work at the drop of a hat and if people have booked time off way in advance then he would have to cover and therefore can't be off at the same time. Once upon a time I used to take the day off for my birthday but stopped doing it because all I would do was sit in all day waiting for people to come round who worked 9 til 5 so it was pointless!
