Love: Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend didn't get me a present....

Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend didn't get me a present. He did, however, get me a card from our cat. He signed it "Have a purrrrfect birthday." Then he left to go to work. I was alone all day long. FML

Today, it's the day after my birthday. My boyfriend got me nothing. Nor did he do anything for me for Valentine's Day. Whereas I got him an $85 game for his birthday, planned a surprise visit to his family so he could see them and his pets, and spent all day Valentine's Day making the house spotless, as well as cakes.

Today, it's my birthday, and everyone, family and friends, forgot. Except my dog who left me a present on my bed. FML

Cat vs. pancakes

By demix_fml - 06/10/2019 02:01

Today, it's my birthday, I knew I would be on my own, so I brought some pancakes, only to come down and find that not only had my cat eaten them, but also that I’d have to clean his barf up. Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML

Best birthday ever!

Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend had promised that the day would belong to me. But no, I had to drive 80km forth and back to pick him up from work, then he took pictures with his new camera lens, then he decided what to eat, demanded a massage, and then he just fell asleep. Happy birthday to me. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I lit my birthday candles on the cake I made myself and blew them out alone, while my worthless husband sat on the couch stuffing Doritos in his face. My present? He sprayed Lysol in the bathroom after he took a dump. FML

Thanks, I guess…

Today, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML

Today, my boyfriend came to visit me for my birthday. Over dinner he handed me a blank card that had the words "I love you" hastily written on it. When the waiter came to take our order he informed him that we'd be paying separately. Happy Birthday. FML

Waiting…

Today, I celebrated my birthday. By that, I mean I spent most of the day alone in a field, waiting for my boyfriend to have time for me, then we broke up, and I ended up spending the evening crying alone on a beach. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a card for my birthday and told me to open it 10 minutes after he'd gone; I waited for 5. In the card was written, "It's not working out, but here's $20." FML

Ohh noo!!! He was going to work making a living and you were left all alone to do nothing? That's too cruel!

...What? At least he remembered. It's not like he can take a day off just because it's your birthday, you know. The fact that you were alone all day was your own fault, get some friends.

OP, you sound like a spoiled drama queen. Your bitching is nothing but a sign of being needy and demanding/expecting things in life. Your boyfriend did not forget your birthday. He did get you something. If you don't want to be alone while he's at work, do something with your life that doesn't require spending every single minute of it with your boyfriend. YDI for bitching about something when there's nothing to bitch about.

People can't just miss work because someone they know has a birthday.

I'm not gonna go as far as these people by saying that you're a selfish, demanding, needy, spoiled rotten bitch. It's not like you were saying, "My boyfriend didn't get me a Mustang for my birthday like I wanted. FML" It's just that you wanted to spend some priceless time with him on your special day, and that is by no means selfish. However, it's true that people can't take days off whenever they feel like it from work. Try to find something else fun to do today, like with friends or something, and then you guys can spend some time together at night. And the card from the cat, don't be too upset about it. Not all guys are very emotional and sentimental and they have different ways of showing their love. Just smile about it, he was obviously thinking about you. :)
