Around 6 of my friends, called/texted at 12:00 exactly and seemed happy for me. He did not even call, he said Happy Birthday on msn, not even a call... Last year, we were distanced, but he sent me a letter/birthday card that he made himself!!! and it was amazing, and a T-shirt that he had amde for me too, and even if it did not came out like he wanted it to, I wore it proudly!! So you see... I rly dont mind the $$$ he spent on it, but... he made those things himself and I could see the effort. I was very very thankful..but this was my 21st birthday and... he seemed excited about it... I thought he was going to at least write me an email or give me a call... His birthday si one month after mine, and last year he was with family and we were in different countries as I said, so I did not call at 12:00pm axactly because I didnt wanto interrupt but I called a little later, and he told me he was sad cuz he expected my call at 12:00... he is a sweetheart I rly doubt he is getting back at me for that..HE is a very detail oriented guy, for our first month anniversary we were on different cities as well, and behind my back he got a friend to buy me flowers and put them on ym desk at work... on christmas he surprised me with a beautful handwritten letter by him and earrings... On every special date, he always makes me feel amazing, he reminds me that im important to him, even with just a call...Should I be upset? I expected at least a call to be honest... Could I have done soemthing wrong? Is he getting em back for not calling at 2:00 pm last year?.. Thanks for any advice.

 I don't think you sounded spoiled, but have you asked if there is a reason why he couldn't call you for your birthday, instead of an IM? Are you more upset you didn't get anything or that he didn't call? Was he in your country at this time? The reason why I ask that is because international calling is very pricey, and judging by his sentimental gifts it sounds like he doesn't have very much $.
Truthfully, I would be a little disappointed but I'm sure there's valid reasoning behind his actions, which you need to talk to him about. It's not to get back at you from last year, that would be incredibly petty. Get to the bottom of it. It could have been worse and you could have not gotten a "Happy Birthday" at all.
