even though he didn't forget.

YES. even if he's broke, he could get a card, or even make one. Very inconsiderate. Put yourself in his shoes. How would he feel if you did that?

True relationship does not count by whether there's any present receive or the quality of presents. However, guys are more prone to forget birthdays, anniversaries etc than gals not b'cos he don't loves u, is just that he is either too busy or he probably think that is a trivial issue.- General view (compare to his work!) At least if he remember yr birthday is a good effort made. As a guy myself, I do forget presents too on special occasions but my gal fren understand and it doesn't affect our relationship at all. I was really busy and actually before her birthday my mind was set on something but somehow I just couldn't make it in time to buy due to last minute work commitment. For a guy fren I know, who really wanted to buy some cool stuff for his gal but not was short of cash and does not want to compromise buying anything inferior which he afraid that his gal fren would comment later. At the end he did not buy any present at all!
Therefore, what I feel is the more the gal would expect present from the guy, the more she will be disappointed and adding pressure to him at the same time.
So relax, a true relationship is not about accepting presents, is about making sure how much both of u are in love!

I think if he doesn't get you anything than he's not very considerate of your feelings. A man that doesn't think about the day the love of his life was born probably isn't very considerate and you will find him forgetting and doing more and more. It's not a good way to start a relationship. If he doesn't have the money, there are lots of things to do other than purchasing a gift. It's the thought and how much love was put into the gift.

If you are upset, then you should be. No amount of telling yourself that you should feel differently than you do will make you able to totally ignore all the questions this has brought up. Besides, if he's made you question his affections once, he'll do it another time, and another. You dont deserve that kind of torment. I don't believe any reason is a good reason to do nothing about your partner's bday, but ask him why anyways, if you haven't already. Unless the answer is undeniably good, you'd be better off alone than playing these stress games. Just okay is not okay.

Not if he's a poor student with no allowance or job. Otherwise, he should at least get you a token gift. Even if he is broke, he should put some thought into writing you a poem/drawing you a picture, etc. He could also do something for you, like helping to paint your room, cook for you, take you for a ride, etc. I hope he didn't totally neglect your special day.
Happy Birthday!

No, you should not. If he says happy birthday I think that should be enough. You can't expect birthday presents from people all the time at that same date. Maybe he has a suprise for you but is not telling you.

I think your feelings are going to be hurt and then your going to be upset. Ask him why? He may not have any money. How long have you been dating? There aren't any flowers in bloom for him to pick. I think he should have a good excuse or make it up in some way or be on his way. Happy Birthday anyway.

No, I wouldn't. I have been married for a long time and its been years since my husband got me a gift. But I always get a birthday kiss.

Did you forget something important to him? If not then yes you should be upset and tell him that if he does not go into the lingerie store and buy you something nice, telling the clerk it is for him, you will never have sex with him again.

not a card, or a flower (even if he picked it out of someones yard), take you out to dinner, not even a candybar??? Maybe I don't know the whole situation, but I would be upset if my boyfriend didn't do something special for my birthday.
