I was disappointed and have been taking space this week assuming we won’t see each other. he texted this afternoon asking if I could come over because he wanted to cook me a nice bday dinner.
I didn’t see it til a few hours later and said ok.

Then he says he hadn’t heard from me all day so now he made plans to play video games with his friends. I deserve better.


Why do you think that?
It's your fault you didn't check your messages on your own Bday. Who does that?

Sounds like you are not mature enough for an adult relationship.
Also why are you dating man-children who play video games?

Let us guess, he is close to your own age and not at least 10 years older huh? That's what you get for dating children.


Eww. Grown men are, by definition, not children, and shouldn't need even the basic level of handholding OP provided. Someone who cared wouldn't need to be told to make plans for her birthday. He would've asked, at a minimum.

Quit excusing mediocrity from "men". Guys, you need to grow up!


Quit treating them like children then?


In a comment thread saying men have to have a 10-year head start to show enough maturity to plan a simple birthday hangout with more than 24-hours notice after being asked to do so a week in advance?

The bar is in hell and y'all still trip.


Modern men are a product of single-mothers and 60% divorce rates.


Yes. Modern men are the product of other men who failed to raise them better, probably because they failed to be better themselves.


So, it will go worse in the future because there are more single mothers out there now? lol

It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if she is 25, because young women still deserve to be treated well by their boyfriends. It doesn't matter if she is 35, because women in their mid-30s still have time to find a better option, as much as you think they don't. It doesn't matter if they've been dating for a few months or a year because either way, OP deserves to have her bday be a priority to the guy she's seeing.

You all are ridiculous. I'm sick of these incels who come on here spewing about how any woman who isn't married by 30 or wants a boyfriend who is nice to her is going to be a bitter old cat lady as you all have been saying since Page 1.

It is the women's fault for choosing them and enabling them. Also, the women are biiitches if they won't marry the men and tolerate their behavior.

He was a jerk. He should have prioritized OP. Why didn’t he know whether he was free? Unless he was potentially going to have to work, he should have made the time and made a plan.

Scholars in Shakespeare's time were often celibate. OP boyfriend likely to be that too.

One day to “play it safe” and not make plans is a birthday. Mom, Sister, Father, lover birthday. Whatever. It’s a universal thing across the globe.

You discovered he is a dope. Congratulations! Sometimes it takes a year— sometimes more time!

I’m sorry, OP. This sucks. And you’re right; you totally deserve better! Don’t waste any more time on him. Move on and find someone who makes you a priority.

But you should dump him simply for the fact he made plans to play video games.


Absurd. Video games are not any less valid than watching sports and yet I don’t see anyone saying that a woman should automatically dump a guy who watches football.


PP here. FFS, reading comprehension?

Did I say anything about video game being weird? No, I said he made plans to play video games. If he made plans to go watch sports I would have the same feeling.

Definitely dump him.
