Yeah, I just turned 43 today. And the gal I’ve been seeing for 3 weeks “needs her space.” I respect that…but could she not have waited just ONE more day to dump me? Damn it I hate catching myself doing that. Feeling sorry for myself. Yuck. Anyway, I could use a hug. * * * Love to All, Tn\*hippie ---

There’s a Hippie down in TN, And man, he’s got the blues. Lord there’s a hippie down in TN, And man, he’s got the blues. His baby’s gone and left him With the jilted, birthday blues. Now this poet up in PA Saw the tears upon his face. Lord, this poet up in PA. She saw the tears upon his face. And wished that she could cheer him up With leather and black lace. Aw, TN, my heart goes out to you. On the otherhand, it looks like I’m just one of the many ladies of the SDMB who’d like to make you feel better. {{{{TN\*Hippie}}}} CJ ---

I was gonna start a Happy Birthday thread for you, but I didn’t think you’d show up, since you’ve been so busy with new girlfriend. Sorry you got dumped, honey. ☹ ---

I’d do my customary birthday thread thing, but now is not the proper time for it. I’m very sorry that had to happen to you. That’s really a low-down trick, and devastating to to boot. ☹ Happy Birthday anyway… hope you’ll start to feel better in a while. **{{{TN\*hippie}}}** F\_X ---

Happy Birthday mon frere! Re the “gal” scenario I’m sorry TN, but there’s just deep and hard emotional ass reamings for you on the near horizon and well… someone forgot the vaseline. Oh Christ!

Happy Birthday Hot Stuff. Sucks about the girl. (As a quick hint, its no better when they say, “well, I would have dumped you the last time we had dinner, but it was your birthday.” So you’ve been saying you love me on the phone every night for a week and LYING? ARGH!) Again, Happy Birthday, your year can only go up from here. ---

Don’t know if I can express this too well, but it seems to me that having a woman leave, who would dump her boyfriend on his birthday, is (after time) probably the best gift she could have given you. That’s just cold. The sort of person that would do that is someone you’re better off not hanging with. ---

Well, I sure appreciate the sympathy. Had no idea I had gal fans here…that’s pretty cool. BUT here’s the really good news: she changed her mind…later the same day. We’ve been having “make up sex” ever since …and it’s been great ! Shit happens. Get over it. Life is good. * * * Love to All, TN\*hippie ---

It sucks to be “let go” on certain days. A buddy of mine had his girlfriend (of about a year) dump him on the same day his father died of cancer. ☹ But Happy Birthday, Hippie-man! Happy [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/happy-birthday-we-need-to-talk/118820.md?page=2)
