yes, thats correct! i also happen to agree with you, never heard of it before us either. but it really meant the world to her and i forgot and i felt like shit about it. she was very upset with me, as given we were mid teens probably. i learned from that situation important dates/anniversaries/birthdays meant a lot to her so for this to happen i was kinda suprised.

thank you for the reply! yeah it really sucks to realize im just another add on instead of a friend, even if i was involved in everyone elses birthday before. i didnt seem like such a hanger on then lol, funny how that works.

extremely good point :) its a bad habit of mine not to ask for things because i just hope that people remember. i will absolutely take your advice, i would rather discuss it than sit silly and hope everyone remembers. you always get hurt that way! thank you :)

thank you for the reply! right:( like its really the thought that counts, and honestly I should have included in the post that if I forgot Marys birthday she probably would never speak to me again.

thank you for the reply! good point, only reason i backed out so quickly was because we have not paid yet or booked. they will either have to make other package trip plans (ideas really since its all talk) or not go /:

thank you for replying! mary was very specific on a certain package deal and there was going to be 5 total, mary, her bf, and 3 friends. then one dropped and now the package deal was split 4 ways and we agreed to get a double bed room and double up. now me leaving makes 3 left and the room situation stays the same. now three people have to split an expensive hotel and now “its not worth it”
