<p>if your SO forgets your birthday, is that a good reason for breaking up? would you be angry? or is it just something to let go?</p>

<p>a lot of women get angry about forgetting birthdays and anniversaries and stuff but i dont really understand why. why is it so important? as long as they get you a belated present why would you care?</p>

<p>whats so important about birthdays anyway? its just a day for hallmark to make money on.</p>

<p>sometimes i think all these holidays and stuff just make people feel even worse than on other days. because its nice if you've got friends and relatives, but what if you have no one? you just feel really lonely inside.</p>

<p>How can you forget someone's birthday with facebook?</p>

<p>It's because they're women. There's the answer to all your questions.</p>

<p>I'm not even joking.</p>

<p>edit: just noticed that you too are a female! I guess you're an exception then. There are always exceptions to every rule.</p>

<p>Its just i dont understand why women care so much about these stupid little things</p>

<p>another thing: engagement rings!!
they say its supposed to be 3 months salary, thats easily over 10,000$ for many people. just for a little rock that debeers jacks up the price on. you lose it and wow there's 10,000$ down the drain. </p>

<p>and weddings, the average one is almost 30,000$, but im not sure if i believe that number. i mean how can someone spend that much on one day? are they retarded? seriously!!!!!! geez put that on a mortgage or something. or buy yourself a new car. or pay off your debt. or feed like 10,000 kids for a month.</p>

<p>My gay friends are giving me hell for forgetting their b'days.</p>

6

<p>tell them
i didn't forget your birthday, i just don't care</p>

<p>give them a christmas card on their birthday that you like crossed out merry christmas on and made a pathetic attempt to disguise it as a birthday card, that's what i did to my friend as a joke so she'd think i forgot until the last minute and i wrote down the wrong age on the card and spelled her name wrong and wrote 'happy birtday!!!' really big</p>

7

<p>That sounds like an interesting experiment.</p>

8

<p>oh but either she thinks im retarded or i did a really good job converting the card because she thought it was a real one and liked the little winter forest animals on it</p>

<p>I can understand getting upset over forgotten birthdays.
it's the anniversary thing I think is silly.
when you have to do something for the 1 month, then the 2 month, then the 3 month and on and on.
yes, yearly anniversaries might be important, but the month thing annoys me.</p>

10

<p>simple solution: don't become attatched to anybody... ever.</p>

11

<p>that's pretty much the solution I've used so far...</p>

12

<p>...so have I. not on purpose, but I'd be really bad in a relationship.
I'm going to have to get really lucky to ever fall in love :(... and to think, i'm somewhat romantic (i've helped all of my best friends do clever stuff on valentines that they gf's LOVED!)</p>

13

<p>doesn't work for me.</p>

14

<p>it's mostly been on purpose for me. there's one person I would have considered, but beyond him I'm single entirely by choice.</p>

15

<p>by your thinking, i'm single by choice, too. there's only been one person that i've ever liked, and they had (and still have) a boyfriend.</p>

16

<p>my problem is only these gross guys like me, well not all of them are well actually yeah they are pretty gross</p>

<p>and im a complete idiot when it comes to relationships so i just hide from a guy who likes me and avoid him, its actually pretty funny to watch my love life play out</p>

17

<p>^I know!!!! that post pretty much describes my situation perfectly!
when I realize someone likes me I start avoiding them.</p>
