AIO (30āish)f (+43)m / forgot anniversary
Title: he forgot 6 month , half-year anniversary
Okay, the screenshot is in Spanish, so maybe the bilinguals can help more, or help me translate. We usually donāt use Snapchat but I recorded our cat last night cause it was being adorable, and caught him snoring peacefully so I just sent it to him and didnāt post it.
Here we go:
Iāve been dating my partner 6 months and weāve been friends for many many years.
I wake up on our 6 month anniversary, to no verbal or physical surprise. I tell myself Iāll give him grace until 5pm and then Iāll calmly bring it up. I ask him if I can go to work with him (itās errands, he co-runs a business), and he agrees. He makes me a toast with eggs to go, and we head out.
We hold hands in the car here and there. Nothing special. When we get home, I have to do work stuff on my computer while he warms up leftovers. Still nothing. I have been sweet and patient but itās 5:30pm and I pour us wine and cheers, I tell him happy 6 months. He looks normal, and just replies happy 6 months. š
The screenshot is from today, the day after above situation.
Iām tired of communicating my needs to a male whoās over 40. I feel tired and sad today. (Day after) I leave soon across the country and feel that I should just leave it at that. Enjoy my life. Iāve always been independent but trying to be in my āsoft girl eraā, and itās biting me in the ***.
Heās sweet, caring and provides for me when I need it.
PS: I also think it wouldāve been smart for him to post us on social media yesterday, since I will be helping him with his legal āstatusā in the future. But no. Not even fo his own convenience. Yes, heās posted before but yesterday was a social day.
Am I being needy? Are men really clueless? Do I need to express what I like EVERY TIME? Itās exhausting and it doesnāt surprise me if I ask for it.
Thank you if you read this far. Iām not the best at redactingā¦
