I agree with Mal in that women expect too much when they should simply just tell me what they want... My wife and I have a strong relationship because we both don't let things fester.
That said, forgetting a birthday is inexcusable. He should not need to be reminded about your birthday or your anniversary. You may want to impress upon him how important these dates are to you but I would never remind him that the date is approaching (at this late a date it is too late to do anything but remind him if you bring it up at all).
Personally, I don't forget dates like this... I took my kids out last weekend so they could buy gifts for my wife... we then made cards together. Birthdays and anniversaries are essential to remember if you want to ever be distracted by the shiny objects and boobies to which Mal so rightly draws our attention.
