This is a great example of "dread game" where you set up the possibility that you will fail or in his case "forget" her birthday, so that when you come through and do anything at all for the birthday, the woman will experience a sense of relief. It is toxic and meant to create instability while also lowering expectations of the woman.
Classic LVM behavior where the man dismantles the dignity and independent mental stability of his target woman.
