To be clear, I think a good friend should remember your birthday or at least your birth month and make an effort to show their appreciation if they can, especially with social media displaying your birthday and stuff, but like who cares if they miss it? Maybe they had a fucking pipe break and their house flooded that day. Extreme /unlikely example I know, but my point is they have stuff going on too

Now if that friend IS the type of person to be good with dates or value birthday celebrations or whatever and they consistently don’t remember yours, maybe there’s an argument there in your favor, but in general it’s not that deep

You’re right, but in the same vein, it takes like two minutes if not less to write a happy birthday text and you can put reminders on your phone. Hell, you can even schedule a text now like they mentioned. They’re not asking them to set aside the day they’re asking them for a minute. That’s reasonable. People forget that any relationship is about balance. Again, you’re right catastrophic things can happen but two years in a row seems like a pattern not a coincidence.

If their close friends and really value u as a friend they should realize that birthdays are important considering how u value their own even if they don’t value it themselves taking 10 seconds to write something like happy bd can’t see how that would entitlement on ur end but considering they done it before u shouldn’t have the expectation they would
