23-year-old hijacks boyfriend's birthday party to celebrate her work promotion, invites her friends instead of his and ignores him: 'Not one mention of me or my birthday'

Do you like to commemorate your work milestones? Some people find that kind of thing cheesy, but celebrating your successes can help keep you motivated. Recently, a friend of mine got a promotion at work, and our mutual friends and I decided to get her a cookie cake. We scoured the internet for funny things to write on top of it and finally settled on, "Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss." Sure, it was silly, but we really were proud of her!

In our story today, a young woman plans an outing with her own friends to celebrate her successes at work. She invites all her besties to a restaurant and they even toast to her name. The only issue was that this get-together was supposed to be her boyfriend's birthday party. She invited none of his friends, barely looked at him all night, and didn't even get him a cake. Scroll down to get all the details from this infuriating story.

It is perfectly okay to want to celebrate your successes, but I don't understand why this couldn't have been a separate event from what was supposed to be her boyfriend's birthday party? I am so curious the logic behind her choices here.

Breakup was a smart move. She clearly doesn't care about him – she doesn't even bother to see this situation from his perspective when he brings up how he felt.
