... from guy I've been seeing on and off for a few months. I need to bin him, don't I?

Feel such an idiot for letting myself give a shit about anyone again after divorce .

Is he well aware it your birthday? Have you discussed it?

PaulinePetrovaPosey · 11/03/2020 18:35

Sod him.

Happy birthday!! 🥂

probablysue · 11/03/2020 18:35

Yep bin. That’s really shitty. Don’t write off all men though, just this one.

Ginnyrellas · 11/03/2020 18:37

Bin him! Bin your negative thoughts about being an idiot (because you’re not) and have you’re self an amazing 40th birthday by not giving a flying fuck!

Happy birthday!

Claire926 · 11/03/2020 18:38

It is your day, don't let him take the limelight! He is self centred. Get rid of him. Someone else would love to have showered you on your birthday! Have a nice birthday. :)

mamato3lads · 11/03/2020 18:38

Happy Birthday 🙂

If you're 100% sure he knows, then yeah, that's shit and I'd have the hump too.

Fuck him OP, get out and celebrate 🍾

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 11/03/2020 18:39

Happy Birthday missy
Yes, you gorgeous, young & soon to be free & single BEAUTIFUL woman!
40 is the new 21, bin him off and treat yourself FlowersCakeWineHalo

littlebirdieblue · 11/03/2020 18:40

Happy Birthday!!
Definitely lose him, if he's like this already it won't get any better

Dozer · 11/03/2020 18:41

Yes, dump!

Iggypoppie · 11/03/2020 18:50

Thanks everyone. I've got lovely things planned and feel very fortunate in many ways. But I must admit it's quite cutting. His phone is out of range or switched off. I feel a fool but it could happen to anyone I suppose.

He definitely knew as we spoke yesterday and are supposed to meet on Friday... is it acceptable to wait until Friday before giving up on him? I feel let down already :-(

Happy 40 Birthday WineCakeFlowers

Perhaps, he has arranged a surprise for the weekend ?

( Just finished making a home made card & wrapped a couple of small birthday presents)

littlebirdieblue · 11/03/2020 18:55

If he'd rung you or messaged you today then waiting until Friday to see him would be acceptable. But if he hasn't bothered by now that speaks volumes

lowlandLucky · 11/03/2020 19:05

Happy Birthday IggypoppieCakeGinFlowers Have a great night and sod him

ravenmum · 11/03/2020 19:14

"Dear Dickhead, as a birthday treat to myself I have decided to look for someone who makes an effort. Have a good rest of your life, from Iggy."

MrsPerfect12 · 11/03/2020 19:16

He has at least messaged you today? If not bin!

Hannsmum · 11/03/2020 19:16

@ravenmum haha ..that killed me 🤣🤣

Lipz · 11/03/2020 19:19

He could have at least sent you a text. Feck that, go out and enjoy yourself

Happy birthday 🥂🎂

Sparticuscaticus · 11/03/2020 19:21

It's only 7pm (uk) so maybe he'll contact you later. Or he thinks you have friends and family celebrating with you today and has something special planned on Friday.

Is he generally thoughtful and Generous? Does he remember other things? Or is he giving you disinterest vibes?

Andypandy81 · 11/03/2020 19:48

Happy birthday from one birthday girl to another 🎂🎉🎁

cakeandchampagne · 11/03/2020 20:07

@Iggypoppie Happy Birthday! Cake
Sorry he picked this day to be dumped. Smile

@Andypandy81 Happy Birthday to you too! Cake

ErickBroch · 11/03/2020 20:36

No text or call then yes, it'd be done for me

Viletta · 11/03/2020 21:33

Happy Birthday! I'd wait for Friday! Hopefully he'll make it up to you!

offlikeabanger · 11/03/2020 21:45

Even if he is planning a surprise for Friday, it's still really cruel to make you think he's forgotten, or doesn't care.

He should been in touch today, one way or another.

Bingeslayer · 11/03/2020 21:49

Happy 40th Birthday op.
Dump the selfish git.

changemynamechangemynamewhen · 11/03/2020 21:53

Grrr they can be such arseholes

Find a better offer for Friday. That guy you've had your eye on a while? Message him
