What will you feel if your husband or wife doesn't remember your birth date?

My husband is not good remembering special dates either , I ve been married for 12 years now, I just got used to it. One day long ago , I remember I told him some days before my birthday : "I want to see on my desk a big bouquet of roses", so, I ve got them , but , it doesnt feel the same as if he remembers that day by himself. One friend told me : you never ask for flowers , that has to be espontaneous. That was the only day he gave me flowers. I never asked him again. He travels a lot, so , he brings me perfumes, it means he remembered me, but that perfume is my gift for : valentine s day, for my birthday, for mother s day, for christmas and for our aniversary hahahaa , I concluded in something , I cant change the way he is , so , I will let him be. I will enjoy my perfumes for every occasion. Have a great day .

I feel that we all have our flaws and we all have our strengths. If you have a nice relationship with your husband it's important that you focus on his strengths and be understanding of the fact that he's NOT good at remembering your birthday. You can be a great wife every year by patiently reminding him of your birthday. Maybe you could say to him... My birthday is next week. Can we do something special? Then he can agree to make your birthday special and you can do your best to maintain a great relationship with each other.

That would really hurt me. I am not married but i had a boyfriend who always forget my birthday while i am the one who never forget his birthday. At first i am really hurt because there is never a hint from him, i am expecting a surprise but to my dismay he really do not remember it until some of my friends went to greet me. The following years was the same, although he makes an effort to remember but all he could remember is the month but not the exact date.

I have a problem with memorizing date too. I may remember the date but i may forget when it is.. I think your husband gets the same. You can remind him such as tomorrow is your birthday. Don't be embarrassed with it since he is like that. I think he should thank to you too because of reminding him. Or sometime you can told to him that today is your birthday and then you guys can have a party to celebrate it...

Hey there chic, Well i think that it is important to remember at least the birthday of the person you are going to spend the rest of your life with right? Well for me and my gal it is important that we know each others birthdays we may not celebrate it in great fashion but a card or a rose will do but never ever forget.

Hi chicgale, I know how you feel, it happened to me once, my husband forget my birthday too because he was so busy with his work and he was in Cebu during that time. I feel little bit sad when he forgot my birthday and told him the next day that he forgot my birthday, good thing he did his best to make me happy. By the way, when was your birthday? Please send me the day on my private message if its okey with you and I'll sure that I will greet you on your birthday.

my hubby forgot my birthday one year. i think it was the year we got married (my birthday is in September and we got married in October). he was referring a big soccer match but i still got mad at him! i guess we worked it out though because we will be married for 25 years this year!

Not everyone can remember dates or even numbers. So a human perception of everyone remembering them is quite futile. I can't remember dates either. So I let my computer or phone remind me of these dates to make it easy. It's really up to an individual how he really intends to be thoughtful about a loved one's birthday. So why not let your smartphone remember dates? Make life easier. I am particularly not concerned about my own birthday though. Although I try to remember everyone else's. If no one remembers my birthday. It's no big deal to me really. But to my dismay almost everyone knows when it is. So I get so many greetings on that day. I thank those who remember my birthday.

Maybe he do have problems with remembering dates..if he does forgive him for that and next time when it is near, just give subtle hints

Hi. My hubby always remembers my birthday every year and if let's say he suddenly misses my birthday, which I hope won't happen , I would of course be feeling upset. I want to know why and sometimes, you know how our minds play tricks on us. We tend to guess hundred of reasons and most of them are negative thoughts that make feel we are no longer important. I wonder perhaps both of you would take the initiative to stick some notes on your fridge like "important dates to remember" etc. Oh well, since you've been married for 7 years and if it wasn't the first time he forgets about your birthday, I guess you've already become accustomed to that, but I wish he would one day surprise you on your birthday without having you to remind him. It's going to be a day to remember then.

It normal for me too , forgeting birthdays of close relationship people.I guess it started from young when my own parents don even celebrate my own birthday and they also don celebrate birthdays, like not even a small cupcake or donut.Nothing , these birthdays just passed by like just any day. Hence because like bad habit why remember these days where it will only hurt u more like imminent day of getting older , sickler , lousier and lesser hope.

Hi chicgale, does he always forget your birthday every year or just 1 or 2 times? And how is your reaction when he forgot your birthday? Do you think he did it intentionaly to tease you? My ex sometime teased me and pretended he forgot the special day but its because he enjoyed seeing my reaction. But yes, some guys really have problem remembering date, not only birthday but another important date maybe he needs to set reminder to remind him the special day.

I will feel pity for my partner, because maybe she have a memory problem and I will try to buy memo plus gold for her brain, ha ha ha just kidding. Yes, but in reality it is very disgusting.

Maybe he's just cheap to buy you a gift so he pretend he don't remember? LOL joke.Well that's just weird because if you love someone you should remember the most important day of his/her life.I've memorized my best friends birthdates so they won't get offend.If your husband don't remember you birthdate that's okay cuz you've been together for more than 7 years.Maybe he's just really forgetful or your husband has a different perspective about birthdays.

i dont think its a valid reason,to think that you are married for already 7 years he should have memorized your birth date by now...but can he remember your wedding anniversary?

It's not a big deal but this never happened to me before. I wouldn't know how I'd react so I really can't say. Although I've forgotten my girlfriend's birthday before. We fought for a whole day. That's really something I won't let happen in my life.

I would feel uneasy first because she is my wife and she doesnt remember my birth date.

Your husband should remember your birthday on your first year of marriage.

I'd feel awful, and probably not have believed such a translation, maybe it's true, maybe not, it is difficult to guess, but in these times when we have such broad access to technology is not hard to remember a few dat.Mozna set a reminder on your phone, or nowince other technical, just think a little and not forgetting to explain.

If my husband will forget my birthdate, I will be upset because its the important day of my life. I wasnt be here If Im not born. So he must remember it.
