I feel a little embarrassed! So today’s my boyfriends birthday, it’s the first birthday we’ve celebrated together, we’ve been together 8 months, so it’s a fresh relationship!

I kinda thought that today we would do something. I kept asking him as the days ticked by ‘what do you want to do for your birthday, takeaway, eat out, cinema’ but he didn’t really give me a conclusive answer.

2 days ago he mentioned he was going to be going out the ‘the boys’ as he calls it, and I just kinda felt forgot about.

We spent some time together today, I tried to make him feel special, got him some gifts, a couple cakes (one was a joke cake, hence the 2), made him a special breakfast, but as the day as ticked on it’s sorta clicked that he’d rather be somewhere else for his birthday, but if it where me I’d want to spend it with him, and I’d probably organise things with other people on other days, unless I was having a party! Then obviously it would be everyone.

I dunno, I feel a little silly feeling hurt, and maybe it’s just clearly an insecurity I have, has anyone got any advice or words of wisdom for me? Thank you in advance! I’m all ears 👂
