So true, I can't remember how many times I forgot my moms birthday, but that is okay because I am sure that she doesn't want to be reminded of how old she is getting

When it comes to the GF, I know better; forget her birthday and I will never hear the end of it Don't know why she cares so much about it. She turns 26 ever year

Personally, I could care less about mine. I dont really do b-days anyway and dont expect people to say/do anything on mine.

An ex allegedly forgot my birthday three times in a row and when I brought it up I almost got my azz knocked out - yet when it was her birthday those three times within those three years she was always expecting something from me. I just figured hey if someone I think I love can forget my birthday three times in a row its time to move on so I did.

At least in your case an effort was made so be grateful and appreciate the fact that he did try to make things right...anyways just my $0.02

We have been through holidays, valentines, weekend getaways, etc...he has never forgot anything...we celebrated his birthday this past winter...

I felt hurt that he forgot and proceeded to leave the house to go get me a card and gift...I felt hurt that it was after the fact, but he still made an effort, but can't get passed it...Life is short, but it still upsets me.

Am I being unreasonable? Drama-King/Queen? lol What should he do to make it up to me? or was his efforts after the fact enough?

We are drama-free, this is the first real disagreement we have had...we both work hard and play hard so we don't believe in drama. We rather put that energy in playing a tennis game, swimming, traveling, spending time together etc...

I say forget it, it seems like its a goood relationship not saying that you don't have the right to be upset/hurt don't drag it in the mud. He did attempt to make it up so let it be. Or just hold out on him for a couple of days or even better since u said yall play tennis, while playing just so happen to hit him with the ball, he will never know the real reason. And i promise you will get a good laugh!! Then just let the rest go and be happy-n-love.
