Happy birthday, I suppose…

Today, I learned that the surprise party thrown for my girlfriend's 19th birthday was wonderful and she couldn't be happier. Except that I didn't show up. Apparently 40 people were invited but I wasn't one of them. We've been going out for three years. FML

Today, it was my best friend's birthday party. Her boyfriend and I agreed to organize a dinner date to surprise her and celebrate. They celebrated, but forgot me until they arrived at the restaurant and saw the dinner reservation under my name. FML

Today, I'd planned a surprise party for my best friend's birthday. However, she apparently found out about it and told me at the last minute she couldn't make it, probably to avoid being the center of attention. I'd already invited all of our mutual friends, so I had to awkwardly cancel the party. FML

Today, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML

Today, I found out my best friend was having a birthday party and I wasn't invited, so I asked her why. She replied, "What birthday party?" It was a surprise birthday party. FML

Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML

Great party, eh?

Today, my girlfriend and I threw a housewarming party we'd been planning for almost 2 months. Out of the 30 plus people I invited from work, literally nobody showed up. Not going to lie, I'm a little depressed about it. It's going to be hard to go to work and pretend I'm not upset. FML

Today, I had a surprise birthday party thrown in my honor. All of my friends and family had been invited, and all of the details were perfect. Who threw the party for me? My ex-girlfriend who I dumped last week for "not being thoughtful enough." FML

WhatsApp drama

Today I found out my husband was throwing a 50th surprise party for me, and no one RSVP'd because of my best friend starting arguing with everyone in a group text. This was going to be the first big party or surprise party that I'd ever had. FML

..Ouch. And she didn't invite you once the party started? She's as crappy as her friends, then.

Okay, you've been dating for three years so you should know her birthday. There's no reason to expect an invite from your girlfriend to be at her birthday party - it should be kind of a given that you'll be there with her. Epic fail.

#4 u are an idiot. By not invited he meant that he didnt know that that the party was happening, not that he was expecting a letter or phone call invite. Also never say epic fail again

#4, you are the dumbest person ever. His gf didn't invite him because she didn't know it was happening. He had no idea that it happened. It has nothing to do with him being a bad boyfriend. His girlfriend's friends suck.

#2 Maybe her friends are aholes and decided to make up an excuse about why he's not there? but yeah, those are very bad friends of her. I would be piss if I found out my gf's friends threw a surprise party and not tell me.
