Josh and I have been best friends since freshman year four years ago. Last year, I chose to study abroad, and it just so happened that my away-school's spring break was right around Josh's birthday. Okay, so I didn't go home *just* for his birthday (for families and other folks), but I live in a different state from the school, and I set a few days aside to celebrate Josh's 21st with him, since I thought he would appreciated it. He did, he said that. Okay, so it's fourth year, and it's my birthday. He spent time with his girlfriend instead, didn't even say "happy birthday." Do I have a right to be mad or hurt? He always said how he appreciated me coming to celebrate his 21st, but he going out to dinner with his girl on my birthday instead, that was like a stab in the back, you know?

It was very nice of you to make a special trip to see him on his birthday. I am sure it did mean alot to him. But did it come with strings attached? Just because you went to see him , is he forever expected to repay the favor? As people grow up they get new priorities. If you want to continue being his friend, allow him some space. This girl obviously very important to him. There may have been other reasons you are not aware of why he could not come. See if there is a time you both can get together, maybe invite his girlfriend, too. If there is no time right now, maybe later and for now you will have to settle on calling and e-mails. If he is truely your friend, he may need your help at another time, for instance if they part ways. Let him know you are still his friend, even though you aren't always together.

Sinse the beginning of time friendships have always taken a back seat when members of the opposite sex enters the picture. If you had met a girl and fallen in love, who would you rather have dinner with on his birthday?

You ask if you *have the right* to be mad or hurt, well, screw *the right* coz you ARE mad and hurt. Tell him that. Chances are he's just a bad planner and that he's forgotten about yer b-day, but if he's yer best friend, his behaviour is unacceptable and he should know it.

You have every right to be disappointed and taken aback that he didn't remember your bday and you did. You should tell him how you feel about this. He should understand you,apoligize,maybe take you somewhere to make up for that.
