FRIEND FRIEND FRIEND!!! esp. on their birthday!! come on!! no offense, but i would think my man was the huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge dick if he got mad at me for going out with my friend on their birthday... wtf kinda shit is that?! you made an honest mistake when making plans - BIG DEAL! no reason to jump on your shit... you have like every other day of the week to spend time with your man, but birthdays are special days... i think it's fucked up when people choose their bf's over their friends. significant others come and go, but you have to cherish your friends. and if this significant other is "THE ONE" then he should be man enough to understand that you need to do your thing with your friends and they'll be ample time for him later.
