Perhaps they'd like to forget their own birthday (and their own mortality),
and are "forced" into forgetting all birthdays and events that remind
them of their life slipping away.
 
At some point it gets to be a habit...

Fake.  Since I've known you you've never forgotten my birthday, our
engagement anniversary, our wedding anniversary, or Valentines day.
And on every single one of those holidays you always bring flowers,
at least.

Now, Pelzar, DDS, is another matter entirely.  Next time bring him
some roses, remmers.

My wife forgets the important milestone dates in our relationship, not me.
She doesn't forget my birthday, but other dates... as for me
June  -- first date
er, June 1
Dec. 18 -- first... um, nevermind
May 9 -- "Legal" wedding anniversary
May 1 -- Religious wedding (handfasting) anniversary
July 12 -- her birthday
February 14 -- her mother's birthday
March 23 -- her father's birthday
um, that's all that pop to mind... I guess I don't have enough guy things
to think about .  :)

my mind is so cluttered with kid schedules and office meetings that I 
once thought it would be a nice touch if I programmed all my 
employees' birthdays into my calendar, so each day I'd see if I should
say happy b'day to someone to make them feel good, as if I really cared.
I had about 45 at the time.  Well, I did...and i *still* never once
remembered to go up to an employee and say Happy B'day Joe/Jane Doe!
After over 1 year I finally remembered to for the one employee I
really couldn't stand.  Oh, yeah, and the one w/the saame b'day
as me.  I decided they'd have to put up with me using the old, impersonal 
way of showing I cared--y'know, bonuses.  Non-family b'days are  just
beyond my capabilities.

I would bet that most people who "remember" care enough to keep some sort
of calendar or notebook, or some writteen/electronic reminder.  Those who
don't remember do not (care to?) use such devices.
I forget events too, but since I have an "add a reminder" feature on
my computer at work, I have overcome most of my problem.  Also, for 
remembering little things (ie: take out the garbage every Thursday) I
use a watch with 5 alarms.

My bf remembers the little things, like our 1 year-7th month anniversary, but
not the big stuff like Valentine's Day. I realize we are short of money, but 
to not even receive a card (since it's an LDR) on important days like V-day
hurts. How do I go about explaining to him how important it is for him to
remember such holidays? He's plenty aware of when the Stanley Cup Playoffs are,
but as for when say, Thanksgiving is, he's lost.

You know it is kinda funny how we can be hurt just because someone forgets
a special day to us..I don't know if it would really matter if my wife forgot
my b-day, but I do believe I would be quite hurt if she had forgotten our
anniversary....I can't imagine her ever forgetting either...I think when you
have beena apart of womeones life for so long those thing start to become
natural....How long have you two been together sam?

I think we should honor our moms on our birthdays instead of ourselves. They
did all that hard work to bring us into the world and deserve some credit
