TITLE: [Relationship/Personal Issue] I'm [22/F] am kinda heart broken at the moment. My boyfriend [26/M] won't spend my birthday with me. More in the extended.
POST: So I asked my boyfriend to take the day off which is a month from now. He said no but within the same month he was gonna take a week off to go out of town with me but I had to cancel it before he could ever request those days off. I don't see why he wouldn't take off for it but for some reason he won't. I tried talking him into it but he called me a bad influence for trying to get him to take the day off. This is the first I've ever been actually unhappy about something in our relationship. I never really cared about birthdays because I've never had a good one. I've always been alone for them but I guess I got my hopes up thinking it might be different this year. I'd tell him this but I don't want him to take off out of pity. I'd rather be alone and heartbroken. Just kinda needed to get this off my chest I guess.
TL;DR: 
Boyfriend doesn't wanna take off a day of work to spend my birthday with me but was willing to take a week off for a trip that had to be cancelled.
