She’s Thinking Of Breaking Up With Her Boyfriend After She Arrived Home To A Disastrous Apartment And No Present On Her Birthday
Ever since this 23-year-old woman was a little girl, she has always loved her birthday – even more than any other holiday.
However, she’s been dating her boyfriend, who is also 23, for over two years now, and he just doesn’t seem to get how much her birthday means to her.
Throughout their relationship, she’s tried telling him numerous times just how special her birthday is to her.
“But he doesn’t understand because he hates his birthday for some reason,” she said.
So, this year, her boyfriend wound up dropping the ball, and it left her feeling really hurt.
For some context, she recently traveled to California to visit her high school friend. Then, on her way home, she took a red-eye flight. That way, she could get back very early on the morning of her birthday.
Upon getting to the airport, she decided to take an Uber home since she didn’t want to wake her boyfriend up too early before work.
Yet, when she got back to her boyfriend’s apartment, it looked like a total pig stye. According to her, it was a “disaster” with trash and food all over the place.
“Absolutely disgusting. Not that I was expecting decorations and balloons when I got to his apartment, but it not being trashed would’ve been nice,” she explained.

Anyway, she just hung out at her boyfriend’s place until he woke up for work. Then, once he was awake, she asked for her birthday present since she was excited.
Well, it was then that her boyfriend admitted he hadn’t bought her anything yet. He also claimed that he would “get her something.”
“Which, knowing him, it is going to be whatever he can find first at Walmart that he thinks I will like because he has done this before for other milestones, like our anniversary,” she revealed.
She’s simply sick and tired of feeling like an afterthought for her boyfriend. That’s why, after this incident, she’s actually considering breaking up with him.
“I just want to be appreciated and celebrated on my birthday!” she vented.
Still, she can’t help but wonder if ending their relationship because her boyfriend didn’t buy her a birthday gift would be an overreaction or not.
Does she and her boyfriend sound like they’re compatible? Or might a breakup be best? What would you do?
