My boyfriend forgets my birthday that was on February 1st. I’m 21F and he will be turning 21M this year as well. This isn’t the first time he had done this, he did this last year before we started dating and I did made it known to him that I have an issue with that and he said it won’t happen again. We started dating April 2025, almost a year now. His birthday was in august and I remembered and told him happy birthday via email, there wasn’t anything else that I could have done because he had stopped talking to me all of a sudden from May 2025. I didn’t wanted to show up to his house just like that unannounced for he was barely answering my messages. so I would hear from him today and wouldn’t hear back from him for a month or more. He started to talk to me in October seeming like he came back. He said he was being like this because a family member had died etc which he didn’t communicate to me until months after. So he lied when he said he wouldn’t forget my birthday again. I didn’t wanted to remind him this year so I waited till the day basically ended before messaging him asking, “how could you have forgotten my bday again?” His exact response was “when is your birthday hunny??” I said, “it is today” and he said he didn’t know but I had told him last year and expected him to remember like how I remember his. When I told him that I did said it last year his exact response was “mi nuh remember, I apologize”. I was supposed to see him this week because when I did last week and I didn’t get to spend as much time with him so I thought that he would remember that my bday was also this week and maybe that’s why he would also want to see me this week. He said that he wants to see me but I am mad at me and then told me that he had an amazing dream about me. I wanted to end this relationship for a while now but he doesn’t and I don’t want to hurt his feelings. The sex is great but the communication is very poor, there’s no romance, he has never took me on a date, he has only ever paid twice for me to go see him and I pay the taxi fare myself 99% of the time, in December he paid and he said that I have to give him back the money, he said the reason why he doesn’t pay is not because he doesn’t want to it’s because and he lives with his father has to contribute to the bills but I have responsibilities too because I also live with my mother and go to university full time so whenever I get a job I would have to contribute to the bills, so I make a sacrifice to see him and be around him as much as I can. We are Jamaicans and bills are high here especially electricity bill. He is also very inconsistent, the last time I heard from him was on Wednesday and today is Friday. Idk if he is loyal, I don’t have any reason to think he is based on how he acts as if he has someone else or something idk, He is respectful, he has never disrespected me in the relationship and I love that. I’m very vocal with what I like and dislike with him, what I’m comfortable with and uncomfortable with and what he needs to work on etc.
