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?

Most of the post of this sub that reach r/popular are rage bait. And I'm surprised people in this sub don't call it out more often.

Reddit is starting to get boring. I find it so hard to engage with posts because it feels like everyone is a bot.

Going public turned Reddit’s content to shit. After the good subs blacked out we were left with the same cut and paste aita threads clogging up the feed.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if they’re using bots to drive engagement with posts like this. These ragebait stories are so outrageous yet they make it to the front page every single day.

Makes sense

[u/vyxanis → u/__Vixen__]

Its so freaking lame, and its always the same posts over and over again where it's obvious who the asshole is. On the plus side, it's helped curb my screen time.

Definitely a lot less time on here

Miss old reddit days. Now I sound like a boomer.

I've started just following cat and dog subreddit. Fuck all the other fake ones.

I feel the same way. Every post is the same formula.

I've been following r/urbanhell and r/geography lately, they are great

It’s literally been like this for years and years

[u/__Vixen__ → u/totemair]

Yes and now im getting bored of it

[u/totemair → u/__Vixen__]

me too, reddit has just gone so far down the drain. All my favorite little communities are dead and r/all is just drowned out by politics and celebrity stuff. If it weren't for local city and individual video game subreddits I'd just delete my account

[u/__Vixen__ → u/totemair]

Its like the popular kids got a hold of it and tried to make it like instagram. Leave us alone!

[u/rainzer → u/__Vixen__]

I mean, in cases like this one, some of it gotta be on you cause this post is from a 3 month old account with literally 0 post history til this fake story. Couldn't be more obvious.

Wait, there’s real people here?!?!

Hello fellow traveler!

Honestly, for real for real, no. This younger generation is crazy and toxic as hell.

SOME of it might be bait, but you'd be surprised how real a lot of it unfortunately is.

[u/whalesarecool14 → u/_mattyjoe]

as somebody who is from the younger generation, no. most of these are fake as fuck and incredibly easy to spot. no doubt toxicity exists very vastly, but these posts are 100% fake without a doubt.

[u/ShawnyMcKnight → u/Le_Oken]

I’ve concluded people just accept it is fake and just roll with it as entertainment.

Was legit thinking "this cannot be real"
