Remembering an ex's birthday

Not at all.

depends

dude, i don't even remember my own birthday!

depends on what?

I think it's fine to forget really, still feel bad about it though!

will ye have a catholic guilt

forgetting is one thing, remembering but not getting them anything anyway is another

yea i thought ronan meant 'remember' as in 'send greeting' or whatevs.

I meant remember as in send a text, be awake at any point during day, reply to gchat message without being totally preoccupied etc....

Sort of weird really, probably better not to remain friends.

*clink*

haha

Should be the same as remembering any other friend's birthday.

Do you generally remember your friends' birthdates?

I try to, but I don't always.

That said, any friend who got all passive aggressive about it, rather than just gently reminding me, would be unlikely to stay my friend for very long. (I have a poor memory for dates.)

However, if that person had gently reminded you, and you had still forgotten, then annoyance is justified.

birthdays i remember:

me
my mom
my first serious girlfriend (no longer in touch)
my most recent serious girlfriend (still friends)

i think that's it. i'm only remembering friend's birthdays know b/c of facebook. :/

I can remember my own (yep, I lied before in this thread), my husband's, daughters', parents',... That's about it really.

I put the birthdays in my iCAL but they never "pop up" so... :-(

It's quite useful that about 1/3 of my friends have their birthdays in the same two days in August. Another 1/3 have birthdays very close to mine. So I remember approximately when their birthdays are, which seems to please them.

The others... well, perhaps I don't have many friends with birthdays at other times of the year because I'm so rubbish at remembering their birthdays that they start to hate me!

depends on how good friends you are and what you normally do with friends.

birthday? i still remember mobile numbers

Ha ha ha ha, I just figured out that all my friends who are born on those two days must have been conceived on Thanksgiving!

(This does not work for UK friends, but I don't know as many of them with similar birthdates.)

I was told by my ex as of a month ago, during the breakup conversation, that he would see sending him b/day or Xmas cards as 'playing games'. But he sends me occasional emails so I think he's changed his mind.

depends on what?

depends on how good of friends you are i would imagine. do you remember the birthdays for any other friends?

I sent a couple bday e-mails to my first serious gf, trying to feel out if it was weird or not. She responded to the first but not the second, so I quit. Still remember the date though.

i had a dream last night that it was my birthday but i didn't remember til 4:30pm.

If I was living in the same city I'd remember a friend's birthday. Or say, my friends I've known since I was 4/5 years old, I know their birthdays. Other than that, not really.

FUCK THOSE BITCHES

I feel BAD that I remember an ex's bday (but it was 3/14, how can one really forget that? Exactly. Fuuuuuuuuuck. I have to think about that ____wad right afore the ides of March every time now.).

I remember all their birthdays. I don't call them though. Don't want to start up that shit again.

The dates of long long gone ex's will pop into my mind when their bday comes around, which is kind of weird. I wouldnt ever do anything about it tho - I'm only close friends with one ex, the most recent one, who I'm still very close friends with. There's one other ex I remember cause his bday's a month after mine, and I dont keep in touch with any others.

Come to think about it, I can't actually remember *any* of my exes' birthdays.

I wish I could help you
