So guys, I got into a serious relationship with this girl about 8months ago and so far, we've truly been in love with each other as I haven't had any reason to think otherwise.

I remembered telling her about a month ago the exact date of my birthday been 22nd June. So i decided to run a test of how well she pays attention to birthday details of her partner.

Since that time I never discussed anything about my birthday plans,party and all.Fast forward to yesterday I still pretended like nothing was happening even when I got several calls and text messages from friends and even some of my ex's.Guys the first call I got at about 6:12am was from my ex whom I dated before her, that alone made me feel really sad.
I waited until about 3pm there still was no call nor text from her so I decided to remind her.
Guys she started screaming and pleading that she totally forgot about my special day.
Note that on her birthday earlier in the year before the lockdown I not only sent her messages, I also called her for an outing where I surprised her with a birthday cake and two Snickers.

So guys I feel really disappointed at her nonchalance and indifference to such important detail. She's been pleading for forgiveness all the while.

Does this sole act mean she doesn't love me as much as I love her?

Has she been playing games with me?

Or is it just a mere occurrence?

Guys in the house what will you do if you were in my shoes and how did you handle this situation if your girlfriend had ever forgotten your birthday?

She is your GF and not your wife. She owes you no apology. Maybe she is busy with something more important.

Ok

It depends on the type of person she is, does she blow up her timeline and WhatsApp status about other people's birthday? If she is not into birthday's at such then maybe she genuinely forgot,but you can just give her the benefit of doubt on this occasion.

You probably told her your date of birth too early into the relationship. That points a single fact:
She wasn't really into you at the beginning of your relationship. Women take note of every little details of the Men they fancy.

I can't say if she loves you now or not, but I wouldn't make a fuss over forgetting birthday. However I may just want to make it a 50-50 thing. Forgive her but don't be fooled.

That is a Redflag, Don't give her the benefit of a doubt..

OP, why didn't you invite us to wish you a happy birthday ourselves here on nairaland.

Forget about the woman.

It's no big deal, just forgive and forget, the state of this country is enough for someone to forget things..don't let that small issue bother you, now that she knows, I bet she won't forget your Bday again..

Yes, she does post birthday wishes of her friends on fb and WhatsApp status.

well bro, if you know her scream was genuine well it skip her memory and there's a possibility it escape her memory, so don't fell out I was dating a girl then that if I gist her today ask her in the next one week what we gist about, she will just be stammering sef,well don't blame her, just skip it tell her you were not happy with her attitude and accept her forgiveness

Na wa for you ooo, me naturally believe that birthdays and all this celebration like valentine are meant for ladies, na them dey carry am for head.. Me am fond of that you know how many times babe don fight me because I forget her birthday, me that don't remember my birthday, this year na on top face book I realise say I get birthday......

I forget things I read a month before an exam.
Does it mean I don't give a fúck & I want to fail?

Obviously NOT.

The brain is wired to forget information that has not been reinforced via repetition or associated with strong memories. This is basic physiology.
