He forgot.. again.

Yeah, me and my ex celebrated every month.. I don't think that it would mean he cares less, You two have been together for a long time and I think that he should definitely remember, but I wouldn't get into a big fight with him about it or anything. But that's just my opinion.. Good luck :)

My boy and I always say happy anniversary but...when one of us forgets...we don't mind at all. We were really big about it up to 6 months...then it was 1 year, and we celebrated our 1 1/2. We are coming up on our 2 year....but...I don't think it's that big of a deal.

BUT...he forgot about your birthday. That's a no no. Lol. Personally, if you aren't married...then I wouldn't worry to much about him missing the anniversary. That's just me though.

i rekon you should tell him if it upsets you ,
but its not that a big deal, but yea the bifdaii thing thats a big harsh... mi current bf forgot mine last year i was relli sad but he made up for it this year lol

x x x leah x x x

Thats typical about boys; they have the hardest time remembering things, especially anniverseries.. Maybe you should stop celebrating it every month, but try celebrating it every 6 months?? it's easier on him that way =p
About the birhtday, he has to remember that!! no excuse..

My friend and her b/f have been together for a year and 5 months. He remembers it and he gets her flowers every month. I think thst forgetting once or twice isn't a big deal because he's a guy, but 12/15 is a bit much. Forgetting your birthday just seems wrong to me. I personally think you should talk to him and if he cares he will listen and understand where your coming from. Good luck.

Guys forget stuff girls wouldn't usually forget. I know it hurts that he forgot your birthday but i'm sure it was totally innocent...you'd be surprised just how forgetful some guys are! Like my boyfriend is always telling me he has a dead short memory which..he really is..he only remembers my bday cos i've said it so many times we've been together lol :) but if its bothering you, let him know..unfortunately..as much as we'd like them to..guys don't read minds :) xx

Hey Angelina
I dont think it means he cares any less at all, men dont think like we do hun - they forget, all the time about alot of stuff. Alot of them dont realise that its those small lil things that mean the most to us. There trains of thought are just on a completely different railroad to ours as women.
My partner and I dont celebrate anniversaries as such, not the whole month thing once you get over the 5 year mark it kinda dies down...but birthdays now for that I would kick his ass...

I have been with my "significant other" for four years (or so) and neither of us has celebrated an aniversery. This may be due to the fact that neither of us remember the exact date, or even the month that we got together.

To us, it is not important, but to you, it may mean the world. It's all perspective, my dear. You must talk to him/her about it.

Also, regarding the birthday incident, I personally have forgotten my "significant other's" birthday myself. Yes, it is terrible, but it is unintentional and should be forgiven (depending on the circumstance, of course).

You definately deserve mroe respect than that. I wouldn't say drop him, because I don't know the whole story, but definately talk to him and then decide for yourself based on his reactions.

Well, Angelina..

Forgetting that many times, well, that isn't so great. I mean, it's the same number every month, that shouldn't be too hard right?.. as for the birthday. I get upset if my girlfriend forgets mine, but I forgive her. But the whole anniversary thing, no that's not good at all.

Sometimes I forget my own birthday, and my girlfriend seems to tolerate me okay. You've already forgiven him, but for the future I really don't think you should dwell on it.

Glad things are working out.

To me...month to month anniversary's are kind of pointless. Like I said...for the first 6 months...yeah it's fun to celebrate it. 1 year...and every year after that...NEEDS to be celebrated. If you want to do more...then go for it...but to me...it's not big deal if they forget say...your 15 month anniversary.

Birthday are a little different because that just shows how much they don't listen. Lol. If they foreget your birthday...smack him upside the head so he'll remember next year. Haha...I'm just joking. Don't do that.

But putting it in his phone, writting it on his calender, little things like that....that's a good idea. Just don't over do it. Lol.

If it keeps happeneing...then I recommend the smacking...haha...just joking again.

I agree with the above ^^^ But, in my advice, I wouldn't joke about the smacking. Just don't do it too hard...you wouldn't want to damage his capabilities of remembering...just jog them.

um ... im a guy nd yea we forget certain days trust me anniversarys constantly slip my mind nd its been almost like 3 yrs, but the birthday things is def a no no on a guys part. i remember my gf's cuz her birthday is exactly 3 monthes b4 mine on the same day but diff year. but for him ... maybe remind him or write it on a calendar for him to see. do sumthing visual or talk bout it constantly nd say the day ... he'll remember cuz he will get tired of hearing you remind him.

hope its a lil helpful

He should be ashamed of forgetting your birthday and... I forget the other other thing.

^ haha

Well I guess thats up to you Angelina, I understand with everyday life and occupations, family issues and what not that other anniversaries may be accidently forgotten whilst our trains of thought are on other and sometimes more important things. Birthday though for me personally I would be crushed if my man forgot the day that I, the mother of his son, was born. Dont get me wrong I dont expect a huge party, romantic weekend or anything dramatic, just a simple quiet meal together and a happy birthday would suit me fine...but recongition in the least I think I deserve and am entitled to on my birthday.

I know how difficult a long distance relationship can be too, we were in one for several years before I made the move to his home town so I know how your isolation from him can intensify your emotions (gees its bringing back some mems of my own talking to you) but know if its meant to be it will be and your love will not dwindle with the distance but grow stronger over time...if its meant to be.

You sound like a lovely person Angelina I really do hope this works out for you and if you need to talk at all just PM me okay happy to share my experiences with you...

Peace Eirisa xxoo

I know its different for different people, but me and my boyfriend do the whole anniversary every month thing...and yeah we dont always go all out or anything but if he missed one that was a biggie like a year then i would be upset! Of course i wouldnt doubt that he loved me but theres nothing worse than you making the effort when hes just going to forget. Try telling him how much it means to you that youve been with him a long time and that you like to celebrate it...hopefully he'll understand xx
