Money and Love: Dammit

Dammit

By Lvdkinda - 18/06/2009 18:34 - United States

Today, after a month of planning, I started to tease my boyfriend of 3 years about the wonderful anniversary plans I had made for us. It was a secret, so I let him try and guess. He said, "As long as it's not a spa day. That would suck, I'd never go." It's a spa day. That I've already paid for. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend’s birthday is a month before mine. I'd spent my birthday savings on his, but he told me that we couldn’t do anything for mine because, “I didn’t plan or organize better.” FML

Today, it is my three-year-anniversary with my boyfriend. I asked if he had planned anything for us, and he said yes. My parents volunteered to watch our daughter, I got all excited, and apparently our "plans" are to watch a football game. What do I get to do? Make sandwiches. For him. FML

Today, is my boyfriend and my 3 year anniversary. We decided to give each other something that we really needed. I bought him the $300 worth of books that he needed for college. He surprised me with a workout video and exercise equipment. FML

Today, I found out that the money my boyfriend has "secretly" been putting away for the last two months is not for an engagement ring like I'd thought, but for a trip to Vegas I'm not invited to. FML

Today, it's our fifth-year anniversary with my boyfriend. I gave him his gift and walked over to the kitchen to serve him some food I'd made. On my way back to the dining room, I overheard his plans with his friend to ditch me in 10 minutes. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I celebrated our six-month anniversary. And by that, I mean he brought along his obnoxious best friend, and I paid for everyone's dinner at an expensive restaurant. FML

Today, my husband told me to look for a honeymoon resort, since we had to cancel it last year. I looked everything up and got all excited. Just when I asked him for payment information, he said "April Fools!" April Fools was two days ago. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I worked late, so I was looking forward to spending a quiet evening with my husband. When he suggested we go grocery shopping, I got excited thinking he had organized a surprise party or something. He actually just took me grocery shopping. FML

FYL for already paying for it, but YDI for not knowing what he likes.

Take your best friend and get him something else and just don't tell him about your original idea. It's not that big of a deal. P.S. You'd think after 3 years you'd know if he liked spa days or not.

No, not "awww." This chick assumed that her straight boyfriend would actually LIKE going to the SPA ?!?! It sounds like OP was being selfish and just planning something that SHE would like, not really caring if he would like it or not. Besides, she's known the guy for three years, and she doesn't know what he would and would not like? YDI.

I'm a licensed massage therapist and actually I have way more straight male clients than I do females. And yes, I work in a spa.

Everybody is missing the big question here: how did it take a 'month of planning' to set up a *spa day*?

Not a big deal. You go yourself and get him something else. Or nothing, since he seems like a tool.

Why is he a "tool" because he doesn't like something and she didn't care to figure it out? She has been dating him for 3 years if you don't know what you're partner likes by then seems like maybe you're the "tool". Stop assuming and plan something together not that hard.

Why would any girl buy her boyfriend a "spa day"? Really? Jesus...

I've got to agree. You'd think after 3 years together that you'd know if he was a spa kind of guy. Especially if the first thing out of his mouth was "I don't like spas."

#5 is spot on. And why would you plan to take your boyfriend to a spa unless you actually knew that he liked spas? You should have put a little more effort into thinking of something that BOTH of you would want to do for your anniversary...

The problem is if she does go to the spa, it is on the day of her anniversery. Her boyfriend probably wants to spend time together and she would just leave him.

A spa day is something you do with your girlfriends or your mom. Not your boyfriend. YDI.

Take your best friend or mom. Get him beer. I seriously don't know any guys who like spa days.

I agree. Take your best girlfriend. Give your boyfriend beer, porno and a BJ. He'll be happy.

Take a friend. Spa days with girls are much more fun. Why would you get your boyfriend a spa day anyways? You should've thought about what HE likes to do, not what YOU like to do. It's his birthday.
