I had told him last week that I found a babysitter and that we could hang out. Birthdays are special and should be celebrated. This year I was left out of the family gathering and he decided that he would go out with his friends to play pool. I know his friends and we get along rather well. Is it strange and should I be concerned that this year Im left out of his birthday?? Im hurt that he would do this. Im feeling like im not special enough to him to celebrate his day.

I totally agree with ImmortalPrincess...
if it's the first time you've been left out it's a concern especially if it was not discussed in advance with you.
have you asked him what's going on?

Did you tell him how this made you feel?....It is rather odd to me. But how have things been between the two of you here lately? Has he mentioned anything about needing "space" or wanting to see other people. Clearly he is not behaving like a guy who wants to be in a relationship with you.

Did he allow you to be involved at all?, did you buy him a gift or go out for a meal, maybe on a different day around his birthday?
It is unusual, but maybe he just wanted a change?...ask him.

If this is the first year you haven't been included, then I think, yeah.....there could be a problem. Did you ask him why you were left out?
