So he woke me up this morning and told me that he thinks everything is going to work out OK with the girlfriend. great. He spent his birthday in bed moping. He refused to go to dinner with us to celebrate, and even refused going to the store to buy clothes. (He loves new clothes.) But now everything's all better. I guess she saved money on giving him a birthday gift by breaking up with him for his birthday. His tenacity will get him nowhere.
