(I didn't write this)
It was my birthday today and it's the worst day I've had for years. It started off when my SO was supposed to take the kids to swimming at 9am but didn't wake up, so I had to trim my pubes and get organised an hour before the class started.
Come home and my bday card was on the kitchen bench, next to an empty gift bag because he couldn't find the coffee mug I wanted and didn't order it until today.
I cracked the shits and just left, went into town and had lunch in my car and got my nails done. Get home and still nothing, kids are being little cunts, which they usually never are. Get the kids in the bath and he informs me we are going out for tea...I inform him my most hated thing to do is go out for dinner with little kids so I told him to cancel the booking.
I feed kids fucking fish fingers because it's getting late, so he goes and gets me a meal from the fish and chip shop, and an icecream cake. Probably feels all proud of himself for saving the day, but I want to kill this asshole. It's just like he wants everything to be perfect but instead of getting me some generic ass shit like a candle because the thing I wanted isn't here yet, he just does nothing?
Idgaf about material shit BUT FUCK ME. I work my c*nt off for this family and I deserve to be thought of for 10 mins and to unwrap a gift.
I've cried for hours today. Fuck it all. I'm going to set aside a day and drive to the city and spend a fuck load of money on myself. I might also forget fathers day and his birthday.
Sorry for the rant, I have never felt so unappreciated.
A sidenote here: On the website that will not be named, a common question asked is "He forgot my birthday, can I be mad about that"
And the answer always is: "You should communicate that you are mad about it to him, he isn't expected to know how important a birthday is"
Birthdays are always important. Once in awhile (on the website that will not be named), a man will post a picture where no one attended his birthday and all the comments are full of sympathy for him.
A person who doesn't care about your birthday doesn't care about you.
This was my marriage. Ex-husband would buy me nothing at all in a very conspicuous way and when I protested, sigh and say that he would order something on Amazon or whatever and it would get there in a few weeks (this was before the existence of Prime shipping so it really would take 2 weeks or more to arrive). One year he bought me a $5 catalogue of books he thought I might like to buy (with my own money, of course). Another year he scrawled "Happy Mother's Day" on the back of a receipt and said it was as good as a card and I should be grateful. It got to the point that my friends would ask me, "So what did he not get you this year?"
The last year we were married, we spent Christmas out of town with his family. When it came time to open gifts, he very conspicuously had gotten me nothing, as usual. His mother noticed and said, "Really, [ex-husband name]?" He scrambled and said quickly that he had gotten me something but it hadn't arrived in time. When questioned what he had gotten me, he insisted he wanted it to be a surprise. Of course no gift ever came.
This was a man who managed teams of hundreds of people at a time on complicated, high stakes projects. He never failed to send gifts to his secretaries, or his parents on their anniversary, his brother, and his good friends. He went out of his way to let me know that I didn't matter and that he didn't give a shit.
Never, ever again. If a man doesn't celebrate your birthdays and special occasions, he is simply not worth your time. At the first sign of neglect, show him the door because it only gets worse from there.
This broke my heart. Imagine the bar being so low that a fucking *coffee mug* is the ONE thing you expect from your guy on your birthday, and he can’t even do that. Stuff like this confirms that FDS basically saved my life, thx y’all ✌️
Whoever wrote this just shows the mentality of British men (I’m British) Savannah even stated this in a podcast. It’s true! British men are just shit at making women feel appreciated or even putting in a little effort! The chip shop meal is as good as it gets. My ex best friend was and is going through this for over 10yrs. Her scrote partner never did anything for her birthday, she would have to suggest something she wanted and he buy it to shut her up. Wouldn’t book a table anywhere. It was all down to her. This year I booked her a table at a fancy restaurant and even had the hosts bring out a cake and they sing and danced in their cultural attire. She’d never had that!! I’d send her flowers for her birthday and if she was feeling ill I’d send little gifts to cheer her up. Do you know what her scrote said once??? ‘Your friend is a better boyfriend than I am’ He found it hilarious!! I said ‘tell him that that isn’t hard to do anyway’ They didn’t like that. She was always ill all the time too. I think it was because of his neglect I really do.
😭☠️🤡He isn't expected to know that the birthday is important to you🔥🔥🔥🔥🐲 I swear they gaslight themselves first. But nothing compares to the gaslighting scrotes of scrottit. This is the worst take ever along with "just communicate". 🤡Did you get his consent before thinking of reciprocating something on your birthday🤡 🤡 How is he supposed to know🤡 ☠️ You didn't tell him☠️ It is scrote lingo for: 🔥 Woman at fault for all failed communication with man child🔥
“he isn’t expected to know how important a birthday is” 🙄
was he born on Neptune?
of course he’s not, men aren’t expected to do anything but have the audacity.
This post seems suspicious. talking About kids that way this sounds like an abusive person or someone who hates FDS trolling.
