Don't take it too personally, he didn't do it intentionally. People say that it's a man thing but honestly its not just men. My husband remembers our aniversary every year (even when it slipped my mind a time or two) But he's not to good with b-days and to be honest neither am I. I generally forget my brother's b-day and I was there the day he was born LOL. Just remind him. And talk with him then set up a calander and circle all the b-day's of friends and family to help remind you both. This is what my husband and I do and it works wonders.

#1 Don't take it personal, it really is a guy thing.
2. Have a friend mail you a card a couple of weeks in advance & prominently display it.
3. Write it in large red pen on the calendar.
4.. Definitely handle it with humor "Honey, how would you know it if you forgot my Birthday?" If it's still coming up, a post it note on his rear view mirror "2 (days/hours/weeks) shopping days 'till Birthday time!"
My smartest friend learned after a few years of getting her feelings hurt to stop expecting him ever to remember, and to not take it personally. She will say to him "I know you aren't doing anything this afternoon except going down to the mall and picking me out a real nice Birthday present liket this, or this, or this". He appreciates the reminder, and actually picks great stuff for her, even clothes.Waitng is just setting yourself up for hurt and won't bring about a happy result.

Oooooooh. That's kind of a major thing. His family may be the kind who don't make a big deal out of birthdays.
Talk to his closest female relative. Mother, sister, somebody like that... let them know what happened, and ask them to put a bug in his ear. If he still does nothing-- then get used to not having very exciting birthdays for the rest of your life. And that puts you off the hook, too. He will not expect much on his birthday, either, right?

I would probably wait until he mentions your birthday before saying anything. It is your birthday and we do expect for our family, friends, and significant others to remember this special day. However, give him some credit---it may not be what you think which is the worst. There is an acceptable reason. I'm sure of it.

I'd bring it up in a subtle way, it could be that he's planning something big for you this weekend, but you might try putting it inot a conversation slyly. Like oh soandso was so sweet he sent me an e-card! Okay so maybe that's not subtle but you get what i'm saying. If you don't hear anything from him by this weekend though feel free and even obligated to blow up in his face.

i imagine u might want to easily improve up. any favourite woman might want to easily tell him "hei, it is my birthday, did u overlook or something?" because definite, as unusual because it sounds human beings overlook. or some human beings have dyslexia about dates. i do. my elder son is 20 i nevertheless for some reason can no longer bear in mind what date is his birthday - 27 or 28? in basic terms this year i replaced into declaring to him "satisfied birthday" and he suggested it replaced into the incorrect day. i did not do it on purpose. once my husband forgot my birthday - were married for 10 years, each and all and sundry is familiar with it is 29, yet by some ability he forgot. no longer a huge deal - he compensated it on weekend. i advise what's the large deal? this is in difficulty-free words an afternoon and why human beings even celebrate that once they finally end up 18? u re in basic terms ageing, it would want to be extra constructive to miss which date u have your birthday - will be no longer so unhappy to comprehend u re older a million year and life is coming to an end ultimately. and starting off the relationship (or persevering with it ) with an eye fixed FOR an eye fixed is the bottom element to do. what re u - monkeys? they in a number of of situations revenge to at least one yet another for each thing

wait till the end of the day just in case he actually did remember and was planning somethin spectacular

if he forgot then tell him the next day that yesterday was ur bday and that ur hurt. Be sad, but dont get mad. Being sad will make him feel guilty, and therefore will help him remember ur bday next year. If u start yellin at him, ur gonna get angrier and he's gonna be on the edge as well.

don't blame him too much, he's a guy. and we men have too much goin on in our heads, that bday dates just slip out.

Hi Jenny.... Welcome to the real world. Men do not forget boxing matches and lots of other stuff. What they do forget however are the intimate details we want to be remembered for.

I know you are hurt, just dont take it by heart, he cant help being himself. But I suggest you remind him and tell him your feelings. If he is the kind who takes your feelings by heart, he'll make it up with you, promise.

By the way, I hope you had a blast!!!! Happy Happy Birthday!!!!

You've been together for 4 years...engaged for how many? Perhaps he is planning a surprise ...has he actually pop ed the ? and given you an engagement ring? If not you're probably not going to wind up marrying him he sounds thoughtless and you deserve better! How are you going to feel when he forgets your wedding anniversary if you do settle and marry him? Past behavior is a good indicator of future behavior...
