Dear Annie: Four years in, still the forgotten girlfriend on birthdays
Oct 06, 2024
Dear Annie: I’ve been in a relationship for almost four years now, and while things with my partner are great, I’ve been feeling increasingly frustrated by how his family treats me -- specifically when it comes to birthdays. His family has this tradition where they celebrate every member’s birthday with gifts, cards and a special acknowledgment. However, despite being part of his life for nearly four years, I’ve never received any of that recognition on my own birthday.
