Some people are just really bad with dates. Is this the only "gripe" you have? Is it really enough to end a relationship over? Only you can answer these questions. If it were me I would tell him that it bothered me and find ways to leave not so subtle hints as my birthday neared.

You would leave your boyfriend over forgetting dates? That doesn't speak to a terribly sound foundation. Married couples can go their whole lives griping at each other over forgetting dates. I think it would be wise to figure out what you want in this relationship. If it's to remain so shallow that you would leave your boyfriend over forgetting some dates, then you can really only expect him to be the kind of guy to not take the dates seriously in the first place.

this is a question you have to answer yourself. He's human, he's liable to forget somethings but should that really be what ends your relationship of 3 1/2 years?if you've been together this long you should be able to sustain this issue and work it out.

By reading through the comments that you have written as well as your question, it seems like you have fallen into a bit of a 'rut'. Maybe you should just quit for the weekend, go somewhere else- maybe stay at a friends house, so he can realise how much you actually do for him and how he doesnt appreciate it.

He forgot your birthday - hmmm. Not exactly a huge black mark against his name is it? It is, afterall , only one day out of the whole year. Come on, be realtistic, you know how easy it is to forget such things. However, you can leave him over it if you want to or you can stay and make him suffer, or (this is a big one), say 'Never mind, it is not as if I am 4 years old anymore". And then forget it. Remembering your birthday or not, is not a measure of how much he thinks of you - he just forgot. If you create too much fuss over this you may end up giving him the impression that you are a spoiled brat who is upset because she wanted a present, and didn't get one. Be careful.

i wouldnt finish a long term relationship because he forgot your birthday. i know you must be really upset though so i know where you are coming from. as he got something on his mind? maybe you to just need a chat

Of 5 birthdays I've had since marrying my wife, I think she's forgotten 3 of them. Not a huge deal in the long run. Sounds like you're just looking for an excuse to be upset, to me.

Good grief, I cannot believe you would throw away a long relationship over something like that. The best thing for you to do is to just get over it. It's hardly something to worry about.

It sounds like your needs and his may be in different directions. Take a piece of paper, put a line down the center and on one side write everything you like about him and what he does positive and on the other side all the negative or misses and see what it looks like when your done. It may be clear.
