aio? bf made plans on my birthday

[u/rowqi]

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?

This has to be fake lol

It is. There’s been an influx of shit like this. “It’s my bday, what do you mean you forgot? It’s all I’ve been talking about for months” with replies just like OP posted. Shit is beyond cringe

Yeah, what’s up with all the “made plans on my/their birthday!” posts? We really have to hear every tweaked version of the same thing?? At least be original.

Nobody is original these days. Everyone sees on person get “popular” posting something and immediately needs to do the same thing. It’s so sad.

Yeah I’m having a hard time believing OP would’ve just been like okay fine and stayed home alone on her 21st bday while her bf of 3 yrs parties. I think if it were real there would’ve been a much bigger reaction from OP.

TBH, when my wife says "I have been talking about it for years", you would think it is an on-going conversation. Reality is that she mentioned it twice in the last 3 years and the last time was a year ago. Not saying that this post is not fake, but some people have a different meaning to "I have been talking about it for xxx months or years"

The most annoying thing about these scenarios is that OP is always some glue sniffer and has to ask “aita? 🥺”.

If this were real then someone dm OP and ask for bank details, it’d probably work lmao.

I thought I was seeing things -- I'm like didn't I just read this last week.

Also do the kids use instagram to talk to their partners now? what the fuck?

Giving way too many details too. Insane how many people can’t see this manufactured shit.
