hi - new to this bowl. I want to make sure I’m not being irrational or dramatic lol.

My boyfriend forgot my upcoming birthday. He scheduled a pick-up hockey game on that day and when I asked him about it, he said it was important to him to play hockey with his friends and we could celebrate my birthday a different day. for context, we’ve been dating for over a year and he knows how important celebrating is to me. im pretty close to ending it... thoughts?

Omg you’re definitely not overthinking it. Your birthday comes once a year. He can easily prioritize your birthday. It doesn’t even matter if celebrating it is important to you, the right thing is to celebrate it with you - big or small celebration.
You should def call him out on it. If he doesn’t get it, there may be a bigger reason to end things with him than forgetting your birthday.
Sorry girl, sending over hugs ❤️

Not overreacting, this shows quite a bit of selfishness on his part.

Depends.. how often does he have the opportunity to play hockey?

Yeah he can change the game for one weekend. Very dick move. Wouldn’t immediately breakup but express that it makes you question his commitment and that you need him to change. Then the ball is in his court and you’ll see if he was just being careless or actually doesn’t care about your feelings

My friend in another industry keeps telling me her salary range for the jobs she is interviewing for. She’s in a more lucrative industry so she’ll make more, and it’s honestly bothering me because I can’t help but feel jealous. Like she’ll call me and say she’s applied for a job and that it pays 140k or something, and she’ll ask me if I think that’s a good pay / ask me for tips on resume and interviews. She knows how much I make (below 100k). Am I not being a good friend if I cut her off?

I've been with my gf for almost 6 months now. For context she's still in grad school (we have a 2 year age gap) and I'm struggling to feel physically attracted to her. I have a good job, decent amounts of stress, I like to work out, spend time with friends, and am very outgoing. She's super sweet, kind, sensitive, and brilliant. I find her attractive but I find the fact that she's always up in my business and available to me unattractive. She also just got an amazing job in another state (1/2)
