Based on her reactions, why not just kick him to the curb and be done with it. Obviously he can't live up to her exceptions, no thread on TD needed, cut bait and be done with the guy.

I know. Only you know how much you care for him and if you want to let it slide in the end or not. I've had to learn to not expect basically anything for any holiday/celebration but it's the choice I made. It clearly deserves a conversation between yall. Have it another day though. Today's your day . Hope you can salvage it.

Go out with another guy tonight and send him a snapchat. Then tell him you accidentally sent it to the wrong person

I'm not surprised that I haven't gotten one positive reply to what Ive posted. People on this board are usually just false, to young to know better or either huge douchebags.
There are only a few things in this world of real value. There is a lot that goes into being a real and decent man. Sounding cool to random "baws" on a message board isn't very high up on my list.

What would you do if it was your birthday and the person who you had been seeing for the last 6 months didn’t acknowledge your birthday at all?
Just let him know that you like to celebrate your birthday, and maybe ask him to take you to dinner.
Birthdays aren't a big deal to everyone, so he may just not have thought to do something.

I always send my friends with benefits a happy birthday text and some flowers or something. I wouldn't want them to stop giving it up. I couldn't imagine not recognizing my girlfriend's birthday, from morning until night.

I forget everyone's birthdays. I was with my best friend in a bar when the clock struck midnight on her birthday, and she looked down at her phone and said, "Oh look, it's my birthday now"
I burst into tears because I hadn't even though of it that entire month or week much less that day.
Some people just suck at that and also some people just weren't raised with birthdays being a big thing. Don't beat yourself up over it. If he did legitimately forget, he probably feels terrible about it. And realistically, if you were talking about it last night and he just didn't say "Happy Birthday" this morning, that certainly doesn't mean he forgot entirely.
I'll make a mental note that someone's birthday is the next day and then go until 3pm before realizing the date.

You said it's a BIG b'day. I'm guessing that means the big 40 or similar. He may think you don't want to be reminded that you are getting older because some women get depressed about it.

I'm only up to page 3 in the thread, but has he had a birthday since y'all have been dating? Was it celebrated?

wait, it had been her birthday for 2 seconds and it made you cry that you hadn't remembered?

He wants to dump you OP, he's just making you do the dirty work.

Don't kid yourself. If he felt terrible about it, he would be texting her and she would have received a gift at her home or office by now. It's two simple phone calls. When someone feels their birthday is important, you act accordingly to your SO. Like it or not.

This is great advice.
You know what I do when a gift-giving holiday is around the corner? I get on our shared Amazon account and order what I want and then tell him what he got me for the occasion and that he can wrap it if he would like. Before I was quite that comfortable, I said, "Oh, I've been wanting a nice chef's knife and I heard this brand is the best. That's a good birthday gift."
For celebrating? I book a reservation using my own OpenTable account to wherever I decide I want to celebrate with him. Been doing that since our very first special occasion together.
Everyone is different, and I totally understand if you don't want to be the person to take control of these things, Pox. If that's not your personality type, that's okay. But it might be what this guy is used to and expects you to do.

A text/phone call saying happy birthday, and a call to a flower shop or many other places that will deliver a gift within an hour or two. Sorry, but you are being delusional for thinking he feels terrible.
Happy Bithday, Pox.

Look, all I can say is everyone's different. Different upbringing, the fact that they've only been together 6 months, and the fact that today is a Tuesday might also factor into it. Maybe he's a jerk who doesn't give a shite.. or maybe he's just a bit clueless. Or maybe he has a surprise planned for later. I have no idea. But if the relationship is solid otherwise, this is hardly the hill to die on IMO. Now.. if there are other issues, that is for Pox to decide.

1. If you have to ask someone to take you to dinner gory our birthday, that is pretty sad.
2. 6 months isn't a long time, but it's not exactly a short amount of time either.
3. Birthdays not being important to a person is a poor excuse. Having the self awareness of knowing who they are important to is the point here. As a male, just by default you tell your SO happy birthday, whether you know she cares or not. You can't get shite for it either way.
