Default Possessive new girlfriends.....

So I have a friend that is more like an acquintance now since he met this new girlfriend, who is trying to be friends with all his friends and is pretty comedy. My friends birthday is Feb 14th and as a group, we usually don't do much for our birthdays, a text/phone call/email suffices unless it is around an event and some beers somewhere. So I am sitting here studying and I get an email about a SURPRISE Birthday party for this guy, HE IS TURNING TWENTY NINE.

You seriously got to be shitting me, it isn't like he is turning 40, 59.5 or 100?

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY? OMG, I have heard it all

Didn't you know that everybody gets a surprise 29th birthday party thrown for them. The 29th birthday is a right of passage. It's the big one.

Biggie, I know you are been sarcastic but seriously, she has lost her mind. I have heard of 30,40,59.5 and 100 year surprises but TWENTY NINE. I seriously got no sleep last night thinking about how hilarious this is....

I got a surprise party for my 24th birthday, and I too found it incredibly unnecessary and out of line.

I don't think you could illustrate the difference between guys and girls better than that.

On the whole I agree with you Scav, but hey....maybe the guy deserves a party.
My birthday is also on Feb 14th and let me tell you, it is one of the worst possible days of the year to have a birthday. I don't really care about birthdays much at all, but the fact that I have to buy my wife Valentine's presents on my own birthday is just wrong. I don't care about getting gifts on my birthday, but it certainly doesn't seem fair that I (and presumably your friend) have to buy somebody else something on their own birthday.
But even with all that being said, if somebody threw me a damn surprise birthday party, I'd be pissed.

Seriously....And this guy hasn't talked to his friends in like two months since he met this broad....She is a piece of work. He is hilarious anyways when it comes to relationships but come on. This takes the cake IMO.

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY? OMG, I have heard it all

might be tricky if he decides to dump her just before, to avoid giving a gift.

how long have they been going out?
