I agree with Shey. I would have flat out told you that it was my B.Day and since you forgot you had better call FTD NOW. :)
Just tell your GF you were an idiot and need her to hit you over the head (not literaly) should you ever forget something like that again. People make mistakes. Geesh.

Don't call FTD. If she's going to get all bunched up about it, just say you're sorry. Again, if she needs a break, that's HER deal. Maybe you need a break from the drama.
Re: Am I just a cave man or did I do something really stupid sheydp: I have to say... as for the gf situation... The truth is, there will be times you will NOT do enough for the things that are important to her. That is the nature of relationships. The key isn't whether you did enough for her important thing - it is how did you two communicate about it. Did she communicate her needs plainly? Why did you not meet them? How did each of you handle it when you didn't. Truth is - you won't always meet her needs - or her meet yours. If you two can't work through it together, and find forgiveness... it WILL NOT WORK. Now, or later, and she needs to understand that. Time to stop groveling and discuss the REAL issue - how do you handle things when you each make mistakes or don't meet each others' needs. Sounds like she is the one failing there.

Re: Am I just a cave man or did I do something really stupid 2be: Yeah, it sucks you forgot her birthday. But you bought her a present beforehand, and you were on a business trip. Your mind was on business. It's not like you were sitting at home watching the game and could care less.
I think it is LAME for her to break up over this one simple thing. You're not a caveman, you're a human that made a mistake, and not one that should end a relationship. STupid, in my opinion.
I wonder why she broke up with her husband?

Nuff said.

I agree. You'd think at the age of 37 your gf would be beyond these petty games and dramatics and would be a bit more mature here. She'd be a bit more understanding since you have been loyal to her, celebrated the bday early and were away on business.
In my opnion you did nothing wrong that should result in a breakup, and you have nothing else to apologize for. She sounds like a big red flag to me. You dont need this nonsense.
