Recognizing Your Customers Birthday

I made a blueberry crumb cake for the birthday of a wonderful client that I've been seeing for about 7 years.

 

That being said though, I don't really keep track of my clients' birthdays, HELL, I often forget my parents' and siblings' birthdays, even my twin sister's!

Happy B-day G-man!

After 15 years, a companion should remember your birthday, especially if you've done something to celebrate it in the past and if you reminded him beforehand. I would suggest talking to him about the situation and how you feel before dropping the guy completely.

Some of these posts are quite harsh. It boils down to someone close to you who may have just forgotten your big day. I have (more often than I care to share) forgotten birthdays but have made up for it belatedly. This might be the case with him. You obviously have a close relationship so it isn't unreasonable to share that you were hurt by his not remembering. THEN see what happens.

 

It seems I'm in the minority here, but as I get older, birthdays are less and less a big deal. It's nice when people wish me a happy birthday but I don't expect it and certainly don't keep track of who did and who didn't. Particular date celebrations as a whole are becoming less & less a part of my life - we did Christmas with the family the day after Christmas because that's when everyone could be together, and I didn't go out for New Year's Eve last night. Birthdays, to me, are more of a leftover celebration from childhood.

 

While I wish I could forget my birthday, it ain't happening. And after 15 weekly years together, I don't see how the escort forgot either. (Mine was two weeks ago by the way. Another year older and dumber).

 

I may have mentioned this story before. About 6 years ago I was in NYC. I was planning to take Via Rail's Canadian train from Toronto to Vancouver for a birthday present to myself. Via rail had great deal of about 50% off a two person car. Plus the exchange rate was good. It was cheaper to fly to NYC and then to Toronto from Seattle than straight from Seattle to Toronto. And I thought I'd stay in NYC a few days before the trip, see some shows, and hire some guys.

 

So my birthday evening comes along. I meet a guy at the theater for A Little Night Music. He tells me when we meet up his stomach hurts, but he thinks it will improve. At intermission he says it really hurts and can't do an overnight. He doesn't charge me but asks for cab fare home. So I think he probably was telling truth.

 

I am obviously upset. I decide to leave too without finishing seeing the play. I manage to find another guy late that evening. I tell him it's my birthday on the phone. The guy stopped at a store on the way to see me at past midnight and brought a chocolate cake!!!

 

So Rocky, unless the escort has been this much of a doofus for 15 years or had some reason to think you didn't want him to say anything, especially if you've made note of his on a regular basis, then I think something is wrong. There are always extenuating circumstances, (has he acknowledged other special times for you or done nice things out of the blue?). If he has, this might be something he honestly forgot. But if you think back, and you've done more and more for him with no reciprocation, then after all this time, even with it being 15 years, he may not value the relationship as much as you do.

Happy Belated Birthday, Gman!

Happy belated but I would think that if you e spent that much time together wishing you a happy birthday would be second nature.
