Today, it’s my birthday. Not only did my boyfriend of 5 years forget, when I reminded him, he said very unenthusiastically, “Oh, Happy Birthday.” When I said, “That’s it?” he got annoyed and said,“Well, what else do you want me to tell you?” FML

Today, I told my boyfriend that my period was now over three weeks late. He still doesn't believe me since it's April Fool's day. But I'm not kidding. FML

Today, I was watching TV and started freaking out thinking I forgot to wish my boyfriend a happy anniversary. I wrote him a text and after I'd sent it, I realized that the date is mine and my ex's anniversary date. 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, my fiancé forgot my birthday. I did however remember to tell him we were sending his mother flowers, for her birthday, which falls a week after mine. We've been together 10 years. I sent her flowers on my birthday. FML

Excuses are just gonna make it worse and justify more of how he feels. Admit you messed up and make up for it.

So you realized your mistake.... and then proceeded to lie? Instead of just saying "I just realized I forgot your birthday. I'm so sorry, I can't believe I did that. Can I take you out to make it up to you?" It probably would have been that simple! But nah, you had to go lie and somehow think you have an "FML" because your partner is too smart to believe your B.S... at the end of the day covering your ass was more important to you than just being honest with your partner and making up for your mistake so YDI.
