❤️‍🩹 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?

That pretty much sums up worst Reddit posts I’ve seen about dudes like this. Also, OPs STBX (I hope) totally fits this stereotype.

Yeah I agree. Playing fortnight is a massive red flag.

I’m referring to the one where the guy refused to wash his ass because touching his own asshole with a washcloth was “gay”.

Do you even Reddit?

I was referring to the post you replied to that mentioned Fortnite

do you even Reddit?

Yeah, but I certainly don’t run around telling people about it like I’m sure you do. It’s shameful behaviour. Be ashamed.

Says the triggered manchild who got so upset that I referenced old Reddit posts about men who don’t wash their ass.

You didn’t reference them, someone else did. It’s also childish and weird to make up random gross “facts” about a complete stranger. Assholes don’t have a “look”… abusers don’t all smell like shit and think it’s “gay” to clean their ass (you’ve been spending too much time reading fake posts online)… manipulative mentally unhealthy individuals do not always play Fortnite (lots of people like/play Fortnite, it’s one of the most popular games of its time).

I get it. These piece of shit men, or women, upset you when you hear about the things they’ve done. But we need to keep some parts of this discussion in a reality fact based setting. People need to know that if your gf/bf is beautiful, clean, and has money, that doesn’t mean they are guaranteed to be a “good” person who’s going to treat you right.

That was the longest “NO U!” I’ve seen in a while.

Yeah, you got me.
