[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a 41 year old woman and I have zero expectations that my friends will reach out and remember and celebrate my birthday. I am not a birthday part type of person, but also, we are all adults. This isn't an expectation that is reasonable. [/quote]

Yep, 60 here, and of my three closest, longest-term friends, one doesn't even talk about her birthday ever and was actually reluctant even to tell anyone the date; the other I consider very close emotionally but we don't exchange cards, texts, gifts, anything; the third has always loved birthday celebrating and celebrate, we do.

To the OP it's possible your friend does care about you but just got busy on the specific day and the date slipped her mind even though earlier she'd asked politely what you were doing for your birthday etc. She is still a "newish" friend as you note. If she is in regular touch, it should just not matter so much if she's not in perfect touch on the date of your birthday. Try to get past it and enjoy what time you spend with her. [/quote]
