23-year-old boyfriend throws a surprise birthday party for girlfriend and forgets to include her and her friends: ‘It was four people, his best friend, a mutual friend, my roommate, and her friend I didn’t know’ – FAIL Blog

Judging by the intense apologizing, I think the boyfriend really tried to organize a good birthday party and couldn’t. Birthdays are delicate, and I used to say that if I didn’t cry during mine, it didn’t count as a birthday. I swear I did cry on all of my birthdays (being 100% honest here), just like the day I was born, lol. That said, even though one is especially sensitive that day, the girl in this story had bigger reasons to bawl. Either way, I think the friend couple who couldn’t make it weren’t at fault here, and them missing the party wouldn’t have been that meaningful if the other people invited were the girls’ friends, so I think there is a bit of a blame misdirection here. All in all, this IS a horror story, and though it might be forgivable, I think she is not AT ALL overreacting.
