If your boyfriend forgot your birthday, would you break up with him?

Hypothetically, say that you put in a lot of effort on his birthday and gifts and when your birthday strolls along and he forgets (no gift, no party, or anything) what would you do? Would you yell at him, would you let it go a couple of days of weeks before mentioning it, or would you point blank pull out of the relationship? Lets assume nothing out of the orinary happened for him to forget and you have told him the date of your birthday several times.

Hmm, how long have you guys been dating?
That depends, and if he seriously forgot then hes an asshole.
dump his ass.
Ive been dating and live with my bf for 2.5 years. Hes put me thru a lot with his ex wife and with his going out but he loves my son and his family loves him too. So I went all out for his 30th birthday in Nov. In March when my birthday came around I learned that he did not get me what he said he would which was a pink safire ring which he suggested not me. When he told me he didnt get it on the day we were going to have my birthday dinner,that it would take another couple months to get the money together I was so hurt bc he already had ample time to save the money and so much to make up for with me.
I spent 1500+ on his birthday and really put a ton of effort. So to spite me for being hurt and disappointed at him he literally got in the car wwent to a pawn shop and pawned my birthday gift to him (also a diamond ring) with an inscription and bought me some crappy 300 ring came back to the house where I was hysterical crying and practically threw it at me.
I was horrified. Not only at how he acted but he promised me he would never do away with that ring bc it was special to him. But of course it was out of spite bc I made him feel bad I suppose. Well I went to dinner with him to keep the peace and when the bill came of 220 he made me give him 60 bucks for it. Plus I gave the babysitter 20. This was the Saturday before my actual birthday which was on Tuesday. We argued and argued. He said nasty things to me including the B word. I didnt answer his calls from work on my birthday on Tuesday and when I got home there was no cake or card waiting either. Pretty sad. But I know now what I really need and want from someone. And this was not it.
Birthdays are an opportunity to show your partner how much you care about them and value them. It should be fun to go all out for your partner-if not in a financial was then at least put some thought into it. We know our partners better than anyone and what they are capable of. It should not feel like a burden or a waste of time and money..
