I am still hurt that my boyfriend of 4 years did not acknowledge my birthday. Actually, each year we have been together he didn’t really acknowledge it. He celebrates Christmas, but since my birthday is 4 days after Christmas it feels as though he only notices Christmas and just tends to overlook my birthday.

But when his coworkers have their birthdays, he gets them gifts and cards and balloons. How the hell did I deserve not even getting my birthday’s acknowledged? It’s not like I am a horrible girlfriend.

5 days later and I’m still upset over this. It caught me off guard. Things have been so wonderful between us and I’m super confused why his body language shows me he doesn’t care for my birthdays.

Also, we have spent my last 3 birthdays arguing because when I confront him about how much it hurts me that he has never done anything special for me on my birthday, he gets defensive, says he will make up for it, and he never does. :/
