Happy Birthday Wine Thanks to you!

How long have you been with your bf and have you given him copious hints over the last few weeks that 4 September is your special day?

Any chance he's planned a surprise for this evening or has he told you he'd forgotten?

Happy birthday! Smile I reckon you'll have a nice dinner/surprise this evening

Thankyou :-). Two years we've been together, hes had his first day back at college today to become a mechanic, and then rushed off to work (chip shop) this afternoon. He said due to no full time job, he has been very down and no money, so no gift. He spent all the money on the car, he said "would you rather have a running car or a gift?"

Happy Birthday op Thanks, hope he steps up and buys a little prezzie for you soon !

izzyizin · 04/09/2012 17:26

Jeez, he could at least have picked you a few healthy blooms wildflowers from a neighbour's garden and bought a card in a £ shop.

He's been 'very down'? What he's trying to do? Bring you down too? Miserable git!!!

Love that last comment Izzyizin. I doubt he will do anything for me. For his birthday i spent £400 on him, even though he refused to do the surprise and said he didnt like it so i did it myself later. I thought a surprise for him would of been nice, but no. His suggestion for me spending my bday alone was to take his dog for a walk .... No thanks. I hope he does buck up his ideas and do something nice for me

If he doesn't come back with more than a bag of chips tell him he's had his, honey.

Life's far too short to waste on a guy who can't be arsed to buy a gift or organise a surprise for his gf's birthday.

Happy Birthday JazleEd. Have some Thanks. Is he always this uncharitable? Not being able to afford to get you a present is one thing but what you said about the way he refused your birthday gift to him rings alarm bells. Next time you have £400 to spend, I suggest you spend it on yourself.

JazleEd · 04/09/2012 19:45

Thankyou. Yeah i think i will do, last time i treated myself i got moaned at :/ but if i moan at him about something i dont like he'll still do it.. Hmmm thinking about it he says he puts the car and the dog before me and the baby. Didnt know if its a joke or not though. But i live with his parents, so if i did leave id have to get my own place by using benifits and living off benifits so then i cant work. Where i want to work as hard as possible to support my family.

You can work. You can set yourself a deadline of say six months and use benefits then. It will give you time to get yourself sorted out, find a childminder or a nursery, find a job etc. You can do it! Who wants to come after a dog, ffs!
