My boyfriend (21M) and I (22F) just spent an entire weekend together on a retreat. I met his family afterwards and we had a great time. We're both extremely extroverted but I had a tough time socializing due to a language barrier where most people we were around were speaking a language I can't speak. It made it difficult to join conversations and often they would switch in the middle and I'd suddenly be left out. This happened at our event and with his family. Needless to say, my social meter was drained when we got back home.
Because of this, I started a small fight between us that was mostly just me being angry and simmering. I apologized rught after last night and he said we were fine and moved on.
Today's my birthday and I have yet to hear him say happy birthday despite family and friends all saying it. I asked if he wanted to watch a movie with me later tonight that I always watch on my birthday. He said he doesn't want to come over because he had a very long exam today and would just fall asleep if he did. This really hurt since we're away at college so I'm not near family nor my closest friends to spend it with. He also still hasn't wished me a happy birthday but I know he hasn't forgotten because I mentioned it while we were texting making it clear that this was how I wanted to spend my birthday.
So reddit, do I just suck it up and spend my birthday alone or do I guilt him into actually spending time with me today which doesn't feel good either?
Tldr- My boyfriend doesn't want to watch a movie for my birthday due to a big exam and midterms he took earlier in the day and not did he wish me a happy birthday.
