That sucks it may be just another day for him but knowing that it means something to you and if he claims to love you, he should not have a problem simply saying happy birthday.

I'm sure your partner would be upset if you didn't pay attention to him on his birthday.
Your birthday IS NOT just another day. It's a very special day.
If he doesn't want to do anything for you, make your own party. Invite your friends and family over for a cake YOU made, and do it while he's there.
I think after six years, he should have some empathy about what you like. You've invested six years with this guy. My question to you, Is He Really What You Want? now, at this time of your life.
By the way. HAPPY BIRTHDAY--BEST WISHES--WOOOO HOOOO! and
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear Special Person.....
Happy Birthday to youuuuuuuu

He sounds like a selfish person. I would have a talk, and explain that you have hurt feelings. That it might be no big deal to them, but it matters to you - so it should matter. Explain (make a list if you have to ) what you HAVE to have in a relationship - and then things that you would like to have. After 6 years - your partner may not change, so you may have to either accept it and deal, or move on and find someone that will give you what you need. By the way = Happy Birthday - hope next year is better!

Happy Birthday. You're B-day is not just another day, it comes once a year and we all like to feel special on our b-days (no matter how much we might say we don't) Even if he doesn't get you anything he should at least say Happy Birthday. What a loser.

Happy Birthday
My husband is the same my birthday comes and goes but when it's his I always make a big deal out of it. What is it with men? Try making him feel guilty in front of your friends. I did last year on my birthday and he apologized interesting to see what this year brings Good luck and have a wonderful birthday cause they are our special day.

If your partner says that it's just another day, I would explain that it's not, and tell him that you need to go somewhere else tonight, and spend some time with some friends, because they seem to understand that your birthday is supposed to be about you.
I would not be mean about it, but I would make it clear that I am going to do something for me on my birthday!
Happy Birthday!!

Well, happy birthday! No no don't dump him yet 6 years is far too long to throw away for this. plus, he might have something surprised planned for tonight or something. or embarrassed he didnt get u anything yet. at the end of the day when its pretty clear he didnt remember your day at all, bring it up and judge on his reaction whether it's going to work. if he begs for forgiveness or really seems sorry and upset, etc keep 'em. if he still makes it out as a small thing dump the jerk. (when u bring it up at the end if he still doesnt remember bring it up casually like not a big deal first)

Happy Birthday to you.
As to whether you should keep him around, I would ask if he's been the same for the 6 years that he's been around. If he has, then you have some choices. If you can live with this lack of acknowledgement of special days, keep him around. If you find it disrespectful and shows a lack of concern for your feelings, then get rid of him.

Some people say or do things they think won't hurt anyone. They don't intend to hurt anyone, they just think differently. If I let myself get hurt at all the stupid things my husband said or did, I would be crying in a fetal position 24/7! I'm sure your partner cares. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Your partner is a JERK! Ask him why he's being so freaky, maybe you hurt his feelings and he's getting back at you? Either way, you don't call someone's birthday "just another day". When you love someone you celebrate the fact that they were born and are here with you.
