Perhaps a cringe-packed post like the one we have here will serve as all the motivation necessary for other people out there to mark their calendars with their partners' birthdays right now. To go ahead and run a background check on your partner because you can't remember their birthday is definitely a bold and inadvisable move, but hey, it's too late for this dude now. Hopefully the lesson was learned that day.

She uses a flip phone for reasons that are too long to get into, so she will occasionally use my phone when she needs to check her email or download music. Back to my dumba s. Im not going to lie yall, I trashed my brain as a teenager. I have issues with memory, short and long. But today I woke up and was chilling for a bit while my girl was a

    Font - I knew what month it was in, but I couldn't remember if it was the 8th or 9th. Thats okay, I thought, ill go dig around a bit. Surely theres some paper work around the house that has her birthday on it. Spoiler: there wasn't. Im definitely not asking her friends or family as they'll surely tell her I forgot. So I do what any reasonable guy does, and I Google background check services. Enter her name and city, and for $7.99 I receive an email with every traffic ticket, address, and phone n

Lol.

    Font - Luckily this isn't the first time l've came off as a total moron to her, so she believed me, but she is indeed also a bit upset I forgot her birthday. Next time something like this happens l'm just admitting guilt I think. I'm also sitting here and just realized I could've waited till she was asleep and checked her license.... TL;DR I forgot my gf's bday, background checked her to find it out, then accidentally showed it to her on my phone, causing her to think I don't trust her. 25.5k 94

    Font - Blue_Yoshi2015 · 18h My now-wife's mom background checked me after my wife and I moved in together. She found out that I was still married to my ex-wife. She came over with a "dossier" on me and slapped it on the table for my wife to see. My wife looked at it and started laughing. You see, my wife was at the time a notary. She was the one who notarized my divorce papers, so she definitely already knew. G Reply 4 1.1k 3 ...
