I have to say that I have dealt with this issue with 2 different "friends" and a boyfriend I was with for almost 7 years, who forgot every single year except the first. But he was on it when it came to V-day or our anniversary...go figure. As for the guy, he's history. I will share with you what happened in both cases of the girlfriends; I'll call them "M" and "J". Mind you, these girls have never met each other. The first time they forgot I gave them the benefit of the doubt. The next time I felt awful and hurt, but held it back. By the next year, I had grown enough in my self-esteem that I realized it was them being selfish, and not anything wrong with me. I confronted them in a loving, "I feel hurt" way, and J apologized, but forgot again this year. M apologized, and called me 1 week before and 1 week after to wish me happy b-day (would have been nice for her to remember it on THE actual day, but considering how she forgets all her family's b-days, this was actually a big step for her). Consider that it is not normal, and it is not acceptable, for someone who claims they care about you to forget the day that the Lord brought you into this world. Why have I allowed 3 people to be in my life who evidently don't care very much and/or are self-centered? Because I love them and put their feelings before mine. I am learning though, that life is too short and there are so many others who care about me and my day of birth. I would venture that you have the same in your life, just look around. Remember: you ARE worth it. Oh, and happy birthday. God bless.

according to me, if she was/is ur best frnd she would have been there with you throughout your wedding and even after that.after all why are best frnds for?dont expect anything from people like these, you'll only end up hurting yourself more.do send her a b'day card just for a formality.if she is "really" your friend then she would feel guilty for what she has done.if not forget it and get on with your life.i mean you are newly married and you definetely have much more important things to do than worry about a so called frnd who didn't turn up for your wedding.dont worry be happy and enjoy life. P.S-congragulations by the way.happy married life :)

I do feel bad for you but you are at that age where kids are REALLY obnoxious, be patient with them, don't hold a HUGE grudge, and just stop talking to them Curiosity will get to them eventually and they'll come back Don't make this that big a deal, just wait for them to become more mature

It sounds like you need to get new friends who care more about you. Or maybe you didn't seem too excited about your party and they didn't realize it was so important to you. And if your best friend didn't "feel like" getting you a present, that's pretty insincere and a little mean.
Maybe you just need new friends and a new boyfriend.

that is so rude! I am sorry. I think that you should probably get some new friends (in the nicest way possible). anyone who forgets such a big day is not your real friend. And if your best friend "didn't feel like" getting you a present then screw her find a new one! I'm so sorry here's my birthday present to you:
*HUGS!* hehe :D
happy birthday by the way and i'm sorry

Maybe it is because you kept reminding them and they got annoyed with it.
My goodness aren't we acting like a baby that you "only" got a 2" balloon?
Your lucky he got you that.
Personally, I think your not telling everything.
Did he actually say that?
