Missed Birthday

[Peachy]

Correct on location, and time zone difference. Being picky, that is debatable. I am not so sure I am not. But I am not convinced I am, either. Because, I would think in an LDR, that remembering an SO's birthday is really important.

I would also think communication in a LDR is really important and there are times you go 2 weeks without hearing from her... How long have you two been together? How often do you see each other?

Birthday's are't that important to my SO and I, but it's important that we acknowledge it. We both also make the efforts to fly to each other and spend our birthdays together.

A nice idea so that it doesn't repeat ^_^

I forget birthdays a lot... And the problem is not because I forget what date someone's birthday is on.. I just rarely know what date it is on any given day... lol

We have been together almost six years. We have been seeing each other yearly, except for 2012(long story).

I would love to spend our birthdays together.

As I said, we could not be together for mine and he forgot it and it sucked.....but I am again going back in time for his next month. I am not going to hold that against him and not going to go all out again for him or it would feel petty. This is the person I adore and want to spend the rest of my life with...........who cares that much about one darn day? There are always more birthdays and someday they will all be together.

I am not holding it against her i.e. angry at her. I love her regardless. That has never changed, and this won't make my feelings for her change. I was just raised that the birthdays' of those closest to you(biological, legal, both, or otherwise) were important to remember.

I get that, did you read what happened on mine? I am just saying that we have to move past it. I did take a few mili-seconds and think about blowing off his birthday this year but yeah I moved past it. He gets that it should have been important and the mere fact of my pain he caused me was "lesson enough". He was very upset for days afterwards.

If she is upset about my birthday(instead of having a migraine, which is still a very real possibility since I don't know), I am sure she would be upset with herself, not me. She is not the vindictive type.
