Lmao. I thought i was kidding. That this was some big illusion that would resolve itself with a few days. Nope. My partner really did forget my birthday.
How do I even proceed? I'm angry. And sad. And I want them to care. But what's the point? It feels like they don't. Even if that isn't true. I know they do. Just not enough. Not enough to set a reminder on their phone. Not enough to even remember what month I was born in. Not enough to try to plan. Not enough, not enough, not enough. I even made it easy. "What about Tuesday night, even for a few hours?" No response. Since 9am this morning. That's deflating.
To be fair, I've forgotten birthdays in the past. But never my partners. That's just wild to me. Completely beyond comprehension. Out of all the birthdays, that one should be priority one. I could care fuck all if every other person on the planet doesn't care. (Except my parents. But I know they know and already make my birthday extra special. Point being... 99.9999% of the world could have 0% clue and I wouldn't care).
It is the fact someone I care about, someone who says they love me, forgot. Don't be so careless with that word, love, because you forgot about my birthday.
