aibu to expect a happy birthday text off my best friend?

[PublicEnemyNumeroUno]

Looks like my "best friend" has forgotten my birthday again

For her 30th birthday I spent over a grand because she wanted to go to New York but didn't want to go alone so I went with her which cost me a lot of money

Yet for my birthday I don't even get a happy birthday text??

I'm pissed off to be honest

Personally I'd be pissed off in the situation you describe so yes to me YANBU.

Its ok, when i go to bed at 11pm-ish i will send a text.

In that case, yanbu.

I hope that by now OP your friend either text/phoned or popped round with a card. I don't think YABU to be annoyed if none of these things have happened.

Happy birthday, hope you've had a nice day

Not heard a peep from her. Normally she would have text this morning so its pretty obvious she forgot

I have had a nice day though, thanks, DH cooked me my favourite meal for tea and bought me some perfume and a birthday cake :)

Oh and he bought me 3 bunches of flowers too :)

if normally she remembers then why isnt your thought one of concern? Id be thinking "Ooh, hope everythings OK at Xs end!"

That would upset me too. Glad you've bad a good day though

Same thing happened to me recently OP. I was quite upset. We've since spoken but she still hasn't remembered.

Maybe the message didn't get through, it happens.

Because if something was wrong id be the first person she'd get in contact with, and besides, another close friend of ours has text me and she lives near the other friend so would know if anuthing was wrong. So im not concerned that something is wrong.

To be honest, i think its bad form to forget your "best" friends birthday. And i will be telling her that aswell

Get a grip, you arent the most important person in her life.

It's a birthday - three bunches? oh dear, is he feeling guilty about something?

Meow Bohemian! Some men do things their partner will like/enjoy without having done anything wrong. Sorry if you have never experienced this.

Can you do a 'thank you for all the birthday wishes' on fb?

Bomehian put your claws away love. I'm not the most important person in her life? No, but I'm pretty close, I'm the first person she calls when she's upset/angry/has a problem, she can tell me anything and vice versa

As for the "3 bunches, is he feeling guilty about something" comment, no, he just likes to spoil me and knows I like nice flowers.

You sound very jealous to be honest, do you not have a best friend of a loving, thoughtful partner in your life?

Unfortunately I'm not on FB or I probably would have done that!

Did you hear from her OP?

I text her just as I was going to bed saying "yep, happy birthday to me"

Got 2 messages back about how she was so "soz" and she hadn't seen the date.

Not much of an apology then.

"To be honest, i think its bad form to forget your "best" friends birthday. And i will be telling her that aswell"

I agree with this. Its stupid to day "oh you aren't the most important person in her life crap" a best friend should be pretty important, but as I have found out recently, they aren't always and she is now an ex best friend.
