my birthday was yesterday. they didn’t reach out nor did their siblings or parents.
I didn’t get any cake nor any present from anyone. I turned 40 and literally no one cared.
I don’t know what I did to deserve this.

Ive found as i have gotten older no body really makes an effort for birthdays. its sad. I always try and make people feel real good for their birthday.
that’s the thing I did for their birthday I had a gift I sent the happy birthday. I got less than nothing in return.
i spent one birthday staring at my phone, hoping my ex or their family would remember. every hour that passed felt heavier. i still remember how invisible i felt.
it just sucks it feels like I actually never mattered
turning 40 and feeling forgotten is a lot to carry
we care
thank you
has your birthday always felt lonely, or did this one hit harder because you hoped they'd reach out?
my birthday was always acknowledged I got a cake and someone cared I was born
sometimes we have to be our biggest fan before my relationship even ended i started doing something special for myself and now I look forward to it every year I dont even notice who didnt gift me or who did
happy birthday
thank you.
😢
happy birthday!! my birthday was also this month and she did break no contact to congratulate me but tbh it did nothing but make me feel more weird/sad.
you did nothing to deserve this, but I'm proud of you're still keeping no contact you're stronger than me!
if I broke no contact I’d just get more hurt. thank you.
happy birthday!!
thank you
HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY!!
thank you
I care! Happy Birthday you fabulous person! Now you know for sure he isn't the right person. 😁
thank you. I know they weren’t don’t worry it just seems very unfair for me to be so sad.
omg that's is the saddest thing, not being wished happy birthday by ex is terrible especially when no contact is that low, but by anyone that is terrible :( happy 40th it's a big step 💞
thank you
Happy belated birthday. I hope you can get yourself a cake today. And its from all of us! we think about you! you are very strong!
thank you
