[quote=Anonymous][youtube][quote=Anonymous]This year, I became close to a woman in a divorce support group I'm in. She lives near me and we just clicked and connected. We'd text and swap memes all the time, grab a drink on the weekend, and even went to a concert together. I'm pretty introverted and it's hard for me to open up beyond my longtime circle, and I felt, awesome, I made a friend.

It was a milestone birthday for me this week (40), and one I'd mentioned in passing to her a few times - she'd asked me what I was doing for it etc (and it was going to be a tough one for me because my kids were with their dad). Anyhow, I was really grateful to hear from lots of friends but she didn't acknowledge it on text, social media, anywhere (and she can see my "stories" so I knew she saw it). I know this sounds petty and I'm waiting for the "grow up, you're needy" people to descend, but it does hurt and I did think we were close and now I'm wondering if we are and if the birthday thing is overblown or if I should be sad or not expect we'll be friends or what. So here's my vulnerable post; tldr, a woman I thought was my friend forgot my bday.[/quote]

Did you ask for first refusal on birthdays?[/quote]
