No birthday greetings - sad

Men seldom rember birthdays and other celebrations. They need a woman to remember them to it. What I don't understand is why she didn't tell him at... it's my birthday how shall we celebrate it? I do think that if you love someone it's possible to remember the birthday as well (it doesn't cost that much to write it down, put it as a memory in your cellphone or by computer). I only felt very annoyed with my ex since he never gave me a present with any of my birthdays but already weeks before his he came to me with big demands of expensive presents he wanted for his birthday. My present husband is not celebrating birthdays. It's no habit in his country so I don't care about it either if it comes to him. I just congratulate him that's it. BTW if your friend really wants to know if her bf doesn't love her she should ask him straight away and also accept the answer. No matter what it is. I think it's useless to be upset home whole day. She has to act, go out, pamper herself.

Honestly I would feel the same aswell. I mean if your boyfriend/girlfriend doesn't remember your birthday it can kind of be a big blow. However sometimes people do forget it doesn't REALLY mean that he/she doesnt love you. He/she just might be really busy and forgot. So, I wouldnt read to much into it. Bring it up though and see what he/she says. Best of luck

Hi Jo! How are you? WHo is this "he" Jo? Is it her husband or boyfriend? It is sad that he has forgotten but it is not the end of the world.These things do happen and there is every chance he will suddenly remember and wish her.Even if he does not, it does not mean he does not love her.It means he is totally tense and overworked.

I think that you're friend's boyfriend doesn't have any intention to hurt your friend's feelings. Maybe he was just busy or somethin'. I guess it's best if they'll talk about it so that things wouldn't turned out worst.

Hello there. As i observe not all men are good in remembering special occasions and not thoughtful as women. I honestly believe that when a man "forgets" your birthday, valentine's day, anniversary ect. that you ladies should consider the relationship over and that he's probably cheating on you. If a man loves you he wants to do things to make you feel special, when that has stopped it's because he doesn't love you anymore or he has found someone else to entertain himself with.

Guys seldom remember birthdays, sometimes, they cannot even remember their girlfriend's handphone number. I think your friend should let her guy knows how she feel. Sometimes, by bottling up, your partner would never understand what you are thinking and it will cause misunderstandings which will then lead to quarrels. Forgetting to wish you on your birthday does not mean that he does not love you. Try feeling his love through his actions instead of words. :)

So sorry about this, I hope never to have this happen to me. I know i am guilty of not remembering a day myself... but when it comes to important times such as this... I would not be able to give reasons, and by missing a single day such as this and him not greeting her on her birthday - of course it is still not enough to say that the person has lost the love already. There are many other reasons for one not to say her or his greetings... we should not jump into conclusions... but should also keep our minds open too for all other possibilities and be prepared for it.

I'm guessing that "he" is the guy your friend likes or loves? It's kind of confusing, sorry. If this is your friend's boyfriend then he's a jerk, I would have used a stronger word, but that's not allowed but you get the idea. A boyfriend should remember his girlfriend's birthday. If this guy is an ex or something, then there might be other explanations. If that's the case, then that has happened to me. I'm always sort of hoping that this guy I was involved with would do something special for me, or even just a greeting would be nice. For many years, he always ignored my birthday. Then, on my birthday last year, he greeted me around midnight. He wasn't my first greeter but I appreciate the effort. Since he wasn't the first to greet me, he stayed up again until the midnight so he would be my last greeter. It was pretty sweet.

Some guys are just forgetful. I wouldn't blame him straight away. It's sad that he doesn't remember her birthday, but you never know how he feels about her just by that one action (or non-action, rather). I can understand why she would be upset and maybe even questioning the relationship status, but I would talk to him... Remind him, hey, it was my birthday yesterday! And see if he has any good excuses. It doesn't mean the relationship is doomed to fail though. Guys can be forgetful (as can girls).

if you ask me then i would say that this is a common nature of most of the guys, i would not say that all guys but most of the guys. yes i have experienced such kind of situation in my life too.i used to be with a guy who claimed that he loved me but he never made me special, nor he have done anything that would make me realize his love.its was all sudden and i would like to term it as mere attraction between us.basically we both were young that time and he never seemed serious with me, the most important thing is that there was no official proposal from his side, it all happened out of mere attraction you can say.but that year i was so upset when he forgot to wish me and he wished me after everyone.I was really upset and hurt but at the same time i did not have any consolation for myself.That relationship did not lasted for long and we broke off. Now i have got my true love in life and he is the most caring and the loving person i can have in this life.He loves me so much that my love falls short.i wish i never have to face this kind of situation in life and i know i wont. But one thing i would like yo mention here is if your boyfriend is not wishing you on your birthday that does not mean that he do not love s you. but you should me him understand that how much hurt you are after he forgot to you.

Some guys are not capable of nurturing a relationship. Some guys are somewhat self centered so they don't think about anyone else. He might care about her but maybe he's mentally wrapped up in other people, places and things. It's important that she NOT have expectations. If she expects him to remember her birthday or behave a certain way she might be setting herself up to be disappointed. She should probably communicate with him and ask if he forgot. It's important to consider the fact that remembering birthdays doesn't happen naturally for some guys. Most importantly...she should not take it personally.

man there is no reason what so ever for your love not to call you on your birthday! none they can't love you, it's your birthday! idk what to say to your friend i would question the love if i was her, it's the one day she needs him the must, love and affection and not even a phone call and happy birthday!

She should make in known she is upset about it to him. he may feel horrible and attempt to make it up to her. I don't think it indicates that he doesn't care for her. However, if he doesn't try to make it up she has every right to be a jerk about it.

I think forgetting to greet on your special day is not the basis that the person don't love you anymore because I also forgotten before the birthday of my boyfriend. It is suppose not to be forgotten especially birthdays.I forgot to greet him, He told me every time there's a message on his phone on that day he was so excited to open it because he was thinking that it was a message coming from me. He still waiting until the day is over and still don't greet him I couldn't really remember until he was the one called me and it was already midnight.He was get angry with me. I asked him why?what's wrong?and he didn't even tell me whats going on in the beginning of our conversation,he was just saying what is the date today? then i was still don't get it until he was the one telling me that today is my birthday why you didn't even greet me? It was very embarrassing to me I just explained it to him that oh I'm so sorry I really forgotten your birthday.I was so busy at work and I didn't mind the day,also during that time, I'm alone in our office because my manager was still on leave. But he was still understand me. I love him of course.It was really a big mistake.

hello Jo, Well, you cannot blame your friend for feeling that way. I always remember special days of my loved ones. I always make sure that on their special days especially birthdays- I will greet or send a message to my love ones. In your friend's case, I hope she will be fine soon. I hope her love one will remember her birthday next time- or sent a belated message to her.

Hiya jotomy, Can understand the way she feels but he might just be that kind of man that does not send those kind of things. In any case he probably forgets if he is not used to doing things like that. Perhaps he might have thought about it and then forgot. Mine quite often does that turn up a week later with a present or a Happy Birthday oh well better late than never?xxx

Well, most probably.. yeah.. forgetting special occasions will make me really sad too.. But maybe the other person had a reason. They should talk first and your friend should tell him how she feels.. Maybe then, he will realize that remembering those occasions are important.

Men are not good at remembering dates, that's just a fact. They're brains are programmed differently than ours. My dad has to use a calendar to remember my birthday, and I've had twenty-three of those. I'm single so I can't relate this to a boyfriend/husband scenario personally. What could of happened is he got busy and forgot. Also, I think she should call him and see if he's okay. And just give him a gentle reminder. He may have gotten caught up and something and honestly forgot. It doesn't mean he doesn't love her, if he did forget. It means just that, he forgot.

i've experience it before, my boyfriend forgot my birthday once, and i was so angry and sad because of that, all i can say is some people were just like that, they don't remember people's birthday, their own anniversary with their boy or girl friend, and some people even forget their parent's birthday! some people was just like that really, so don't need to feel really sad, your friend can ask her boy friend why the hell he forget your friend's birthday and just see what his answer, if he is the kinda "don't remember any special kind of day " type of person, they i should say your friend should really really be patient and try to get used to it, because that is the way they are, but if he is not that kind of person, they you friend can ask him what makes him forget and if it's not in purpose, then your friend should forget him i think :D happy birthday to your friend btw :D

Hi,I think maybe he is very busy about his work,and forget this case.you can remind him .if his attitude is still unconcerned,you ignore him for some days,i think if he care you ,he will looking for you and apologize you.Good luck for you!
