Don’t lose the love of your life over rubbish. We ALL have flaws. NOBODY is 💯
I recall a lady who ditched her boyfriend for forgetting her birthday. She could have sulked for a day or 2, if she really needed to send the message home. No. She broke up with him.
Dude begged,
... cajoled, involved friends and relations, bought gifts. Baby girls refused to budge. Stopped taking his calls. Wouldn’t respond to texts for MONTHS till my guy gave up. Still, every once in a while he’d reach out. Babe was still stewing over forgotten birthday.
Well, both
... moved on after a couple of years and got married a little later. Lady moved on too. From 1 relationship to the next and then the other. She’s over 50 now. Her former flames kids are all grown. Solid marriage. One day (in her 40s) she looked back in regret and couldn’t even
... remember why him forgetting her birthday had been such a big deal. She knew he was snowed in with work at the time. But apart from that birthday incident he had been the love of her life. The one person she really bonded with. The one person who had really treated her good.
So much water under the bridge now.

This guy stayed single for about 2 years hoping they’d reconcile. Even after he met the lady he eventually married, he kept hoping the other 1 would change her mind. He even got to
...thinking there were other reasons, something he’d done wrong that she’d kept to herself, or that someone slandered him to her, or that she had met someone else. It was none of those reasons.
It truly was about the forgotten birthday. To her western-influenced logic, a man who
... forgets your birthday doesn’t love you and to her that was etched into her mind as a bare reality.
