It is toyboy's significant 0 birthday next week. I asked him, by text, how his schedule was, the answer was not so good.
I am very, very annoyed.
Some years ago it was a similar birthday for me and he pestered me for weeks beforehand because he wanted to take me out to dinner. I kept telling him that I wanted to do a, b or c (none of which included him, because we didn't or don't have that kind of relationship).
In the end we both drove a lot of miles to meet at a restaurant.
It would be easier now, neither of us would need to drive anywhere, so why doesn't he want me to return the compliment?
Or even try to plan something?
OK, I know he has an odd work schedule, but it all went wrong this time last year, when he got promotion. We were going to go out for his birthday and then "nothing".
To be honest, I am not "that" bothered, but I would have taken him out for a nice meal.
