Would you be upset if ur partner for 5 years didn’t know how to spell ur middle name, and forgot ur birthday and guessed it wrong 2x?
Granted he’s not the best at remembering everything and struggles with English sometimes because Spanish is his first language but i feel like i know everything about him and more and this really upset me.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but I don’t think it’s a massive deal personally. I feel you may be having an emotional response which is ok to have but maybe you could try taking a step back and asking yourself if he makes you feel loved? Is he kind, is he respectful? Do you have fun together? Is he affectionate? Commited? Faithful? and if the overall answer is positive and YOU love him then comunícate to him that this is important to you and you need him to learn how to spell your middle name and remember your birthday. If his memory sucks ..mine too and I use google calendar and invite my partner to literally everything I put in it so we both get notified and that way we usually are in top of upcoming special dates and events xxx all the best

I would be mad, but probably not do much about it. I don’t think my husband can spell my middle name. I haven’t tested him on it, but that really wouldn’t bother me. He should definitely have your birthday saved where he can find it, at the very least.

My husband doesn't know how to spell his own middle name 🤦🏼♀️

Sure, I'd be hurt that he didn't remember my birthday, but that's all. I wouldn't even think to end the relationship because of that. I would definitely let him know how you feel about him not remembering your birthday and spell your middle name. Talking things out helps.
