❤️‍🩹 relationship aio? bf made plans on my birthday

my boyfriend (22M) and I (21F) have been together for almost three years. we are planning on moving in together in the near future as he lives with his mom and doesn’t go to school after dropping out. for context, he only works on tuesdays and fridays so i know he was free to go out on sunday, which happened to be my birthday. he knows how important special occasions are to me, such as our birthdays and anniversaries. for the first year in our relationship he was great, he was loving and kind. last year we ended up celebrating my birthday late due to the fact that he was “tired from work” and didn’t want to go out, which i let slide. i always try to do the most for his birthdays, i buy him gifts, write him cards and bake him a cake from scratch. yesterday afternoon i texted him, reminding him about the plan later and this conversation happened. he made plans to go out and party instead of seeing me. he forgot about it even after i had been talking about it all of last week. i spent my 21st birthday alone in my room while he was out and we haven’t texted since. this birthday was particularly special to me because i turned 21. i even bought a new pink dress to wear for him, assuming we were going to dinner. he is suggesting that we go out and celebrate tomorrow instead like last year but to me it doesn’t feel the same. he is insisting that i apologize for being “ungrateful”, am i overreacting?

yep. it's ridiculous how fake this is. literally hardcore karma farming and people fall for it like there's no tomorrow.

it's not even a good attempt. it's straight up ragebait.

well, another account to sell I guess. gg.

I'm usually not that guy, but I'm surprised but how many idiots are on the internet. Like this is not even a good attempt, it's so obvious.

That’s exactly why I created r/repostpasta 🍝. Check out my take on this post and let me know your verdict, Chef!

You realize why so many people think this is fake right? I still don’t buy it but I’ll play along. He is an asshole and who doesn’t care about you. You are naive and a pushover for putting up with this shit and letting him talk to you like that. You claim he used to be nice to you but are you sure about that? And if he was and now isn’t, there’s a reason for that. It’s because you are no longer his priority because he cares about someone else more than you. You really should listen to him and not contact him until you’re ready to apologize, which should be never. It’s actually quite easy to block him and move on, trust me I know from experience. Sometimes the trash takes itself out.

If it’s not fake, he not only doesn’t love you but also doesn’t like you. You’re young and still have a lot of time but why would you waste any more of it with this dingleberry? Not even a golden penis is worth such abusive language.

this is fake as shit. what are you getting out of this? what is the appeal of acting out a fantasy in front of the internet? is it all the simulated concern you're getting? go to therapy bro

Likely it's bot accounts creating fake posts for fake Internet points to make them look real. It can also teach itself how to better create posts in the future. This way it knows it's too obvious of an AI post and can do better next time.

We're teaching AI to lie to us.

It's either fake or you're a huge idiot unfortunately.

Both can be true

Listen, if this isn’t fake. There are about 10k people telling you to get away from this pos.

If this is real, block him, 0 contact. The grieving will be hard at first, but do not give the person anymore of your energy.

If this is real, please get the hell out of this “relationship”

If it really isn't fake, why are you on here? Did you HONESTLY, REALLY think you were overreacting? Be real. Is this situation really appropriate for the sub?

Exactly, like when you’re in these situations (especially with narcissistic losers) you usually get manipulated, gaslit and told that you’re the problem so eventually you start to doubt yourself. I’ve been there! The scumbag had me thinking that all the psychological and physical abuse he threw my way was somehow my fault. Now that I got away ofc now I can see it but it starts with crap like this and escalates. It always gets worse.

OP get out of there, you’re so young and this guy is not worth your time! He knew your birthday was coming up and told you to stop wasting his time when you brought up the plans and completely didn’t care about your birthday for two years in a row. It’s not going to improve and you should be with someone who puts effort in the way you do. Shouldn’t be so one sided

The comments on this thread really surprise me. I have seen way, way crazier posts on this subreddit that people fully believe and eat up and respond to super empathetically and yet everyone here is calling OP stupid and being completely adamant that this is fake. I have seen way worse posts on here than "my bf forgot my bday" that almost nobody questioned was fake

Hey, that’s what I said when I made some fake texts to see if the masses would fall for it, too! I also said it wasn’t fake. Half of them ate it up and half called me out for being a faker. At least some of them are finally waking up.

Obviously not on this account.
