Birthday

I have a big birthday coming up. My partner and I had a weekend away booked which I had pushed him to organise.
We fell out and unbeknown to me he cancelled it.
Now he says he has nothing organised and ‘it’s only a birthday, not a special day.’
He’s very disorganised and not one for surprises so I would genuinely believe him. I’m not looking for a huge gift or anything but am going to be upset on a milestone birthday.

He sounds petty and tiring. Give yourself a gift and let him go

He dumped me by text two days before my birthday,
I’ll certainly never forget that big birthday.

He sounded like a mean boyfriend anyway, so although it's upsetting, it's likely for the best that you are rid of him.

Did you post about the argument and cancellation at the time? If so it sounded as though you hadn't been getting on so you are moving on to better things now.

It's a shit time of year and a shit year to have a relationship end like that. Be nice to yourself and focus on what you want to get out of 2022.
