am i overreacting?

today is my birthday. my fh and i decided no more presents until after the wedding, although we still get cards. he just called me to ask me how old i am and i was like u dont know and then when i told him, he said good thing. i dont know what that means, but after 7 years he should know how old i am. im not going to fight with him, but it really bothered me, am i crazy?

Re: am i overreacting?

my fh is very forgetful at least he knows its your bday.

thanks girls i thought that i was crazy, but i guess not. i highly doubt that he is getting me a surprise considering money is very tight right now.

Re: am i overreacting?

I have to say, FH is a year and a half older than me, so sometimes I do forget how old he is, because it's not just a solid one or two years older than me. Plus, sometimes I forget my own age! I really wouldn't worry about it.

Guys are so clueless sometimes.

I agree 100% - I love FH but I can SOOO imagine him asking me the same thing. I would probably let him slide, but maybe poke fun at him a few times for forgetting how old you are after so many years.

Same here - if it weren't for the fact that my last birthday was the big 3-0...I doubt my FI would know how old I am.

Just last month he had to ask me my middle name for a credit application (mind you, I always use my middle initial for business...so it's on everything!). Dork!

awww

Re: am i overreacting?

I'd be very annoyed if he asked me that ON my b-day he could have at least asked you leading UP to your b-day or something...but aren't you super curious why his reaction was, 'good!'???!!! I wonder what that means?!

Re: am i overreacting?

Yeah, I would be ticked off at that. Especially after 7years.

That said, my dad still isn't 100% sure how old I am on my birthdays. Like Lauren said, men are clueless.

Re: am i overreacting?

he probably went to buy me something 25 and realized good thing he called because i am only 24. he is definitely going to have to deal with me at least poking fun at him for a little while. now i just cant wait for him to get here!

Re: am i overreacting?

Age is one thing.... when we were dating about a year he had to ask me my last name!!!!!!!

Re: am i overreacting?

i would make fun of him, but i wouldnt be to mad. happy birthday! its my birthday too! ~lacey

Re: am i overreacting?

maybe he is pulling your leg!!

Re: am i overreacting?

MEN!! I am sure it is a guy thing and you can't kill him for that.
Make sure you guys do something special and makes it up to you.

Re: am i overreacting?

he should know your age!

Happy Birthday!!!!

Re: am i overreacting?

A few years ago my FI threw me a surprise B-day party with a banner that said happy 25th Birthday Stephanie, I was like um just to let you know I'm 26!!! He felt like such a dummy!
edit to say HAPPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!

Re: am i overreacting?

No joke..I forget how old my FI is all of the time..the real sad fact is that he is the same age as my brother!!

(I have 5 brothers (and 4 sisters) so....it's gets pretty hard)

no need to argue about it.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
