kevin612 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 On my birthday yesterday, no cake and no presents from girlfriend. I still remember her friend's birthday, she wanted to buy that and that for her. We walked night market twice and she always remembered her birthday. when my birthday comes, NOTHING. This really bothers me. Perhaps I should break up. SHE KNOWS THIS IS MY BIRTHDAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Yep. Or maybe she didn't know? My wife forgot mine this year. 2 days later she remembered. I am still shaking from the sex she gave me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 If your birthday was associated with a mental picture of money, she would have remember, they never forget money... however, Do not fret, i had a very serious accident and by best friend who is also a thai lady, never remember to ask how i'm doing while i'm all out here in helping her and her family all the time...

worgeordie Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Maybe you should have been dropping big hints a week or two before your actual birthday,then if she still did not give you anything or even acknowledge your birthday,dump her as she does not seem to give a shit about you. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatOngo Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Maybe the poor dear just plain forgot. Pamper her a little, new mocy, upgraded iPhone, show her you really care and she'll remember next year for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she the type of "girlfriend" you pay for, or you do not spend (much) money on her? Did you buy her a present on her birthday? How long have you been together?

Berkshire Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Maybe she's being respectful of your feelings by not reminding you what an old fart you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWRC Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Well your not too committed, "and quote, "perhaps I should break up", because your upset over not being fussed over on your birthday. My advice is grow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Does she have her own money ? or does she have to ask you for money ? If it's the latter then you know why, she can hardly ask you for money to get you something can she. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikmar Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 mine forgets my birthday, however, she doesnt get upset when I forget hers, so fair play. Her Mum remembers me though and pops around with my favourite homecooked Thai food. Maybe i shouldve married my Mum in law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luk AJ Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 My GF (20y together) always wishes me HB but never bought me a present. I will follow the advice from some fellow posters and I will break up with her today! And because this is going on for many years, I will also break up with her tomorrow! That will teach her!

Gecko123 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I know this may be less true for more Westernized Thais, but from what I've seen out in the country, birthday celebrations seem to be mostly reserved for very young children and for girlfriends during honeymoon stage of the relationship. Birthday celebrations for men don't seem to be that common. Before anyone jumps all over me, just saying celebrating birthdays doesn't seem to be as widespread a tradition as in the west. OP needs to discuss his expectations with his girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeray Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I'd be upset with her too if I were in your shoes. 'Cause she sure as hell remembered mine a month ago and gave me a gift I'll never forget ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She doesn't love you - she loves money. Deep down you probably already know this which is why you are getting upset. There's plenty of girls out there who will date you without asking for money. Why are you giving her money anyway? To keep her from working (other men)? What do you think would happen if you stopped giving her money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of them - the older ones - don't even KNOW when their birthday was, let alone remember to celebrate it. The emperor was far away in the old days & there were many rice paddies, so no officialdom to register births. My oldest SIL & oldest BIL are officially twins, but actually 3 years apart. Their parents just didn't get around to registering the 1st birth till the 2nd arrived ... So the only birthdays celebrated, now, are the children's & mine & b/f's ie kids + source of money.

PingRoundTheWorld Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Come to think of it - my first Thai "girlfriend" didn't know her birthday either - parents left when she was a kid. Needless to say she was only in it for the money, and I gave myself a birthday present and dumped her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
