<human>: It's tomorrow and he's sent me a late night panicked text saying I never told him. This is my third birthday with him and he's never once remembered unless I tell him, but it makes my heart sink just thinking about it. This time he obviously completely forgot it was even this month. Last week I asked him if we could do something together this weekend and he said he was busy, so I already had a feeling he would forget but didn't tell him because I wanted him to remember on his own. I know his birthday and all his family members' birthdays, and he can't even remember mine.

Is this normal? Are my expectations too high? Sometimes I hear similar stories from other women, but only one-off occasions - not every year. 

It's not just the birthday, but on almost every single other occasion when I've asked him to go somewhere special with me (past occasions include a family do and a ball), he fails to turn up, 'forgets', or cancels last minute. Once he came to a friend's party with me, and it was a big deal because he's never ever done that (before or again). It's like he doesn't care about the same things I do.

It seems trivial, but it's really bothering me. Three years.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: Boyfriend of three years has forgotten my birthday every year, as part of a pattern of not showing up for important occasions. Feeling uncared for.
