Love: Today, it was my birthday dinner with my family. Everyone was...

Today, it was my birthday dinner with my family. Everyone was making an effort to avoid a certain topic. Later my 5 year old cousin gives me a nice hand drawn card of me and my boyfriend. Apparently no one had the heart to tell her my boyfriend had broken up with me on my birthday. FML

Today, it was my birthday. We had a huge family dinner and everyone was invited, including my boyfriend. My family is kind of stuck-up, so I was very nervous about him meeting them. He got into an argument with my uncle over how "awesome" Van Halen is, and ignored me all night. FML

Today, it's my birthday. I woke up to a text message from my boyfriend, breaking up with me. When I commented on his impeccably bad timing, he admitted he'd forgotten it was my birthday. 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

Today, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML

Today, it was my co-worker's birthday but she told me not to mention it. Feeling bad for her, I went out to buy her a card, a present, and even a small cake. It turns out that there was actually a party during our lunch break, and I was the only one in our office not invited. FML

Today, it's my birthday, I received two cards, one from my mum and one from my son, that my mum gave to him to give to me. My entire family said they couldn't be bothered going out for dinner for my birthday. My two 'friends' didn't even send a card, never mind a gift or want to meet up. FML

Today, my boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. FML

Today, after 5 years in a row of my family doing absolutely nothing to even acknowledge my birthday, I got train tickets to see my boyfriend for the weekend and celebrate with him. I woke up to 6 angry texts about how I'm 'selfish' for not staying at home with my family. FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend, since we weren't getting along. When I got home, I remembered that today is his birthday. Him and all our friends now think I'm a total bitch. FML

I don't see the FML here. Your little cousin gave you a picture of you with your now-ex-boyfriend? So what. It was probably just a crayon drawn picture anyway... let her think it is you and your ex, and you can pretend that it's you and your next boyfriend and no one else will give a rat's ass.

The FML is that she got upset because she was reminded of that jerk of a boyfriend who dumped her on her birthday.

Whilst the situation sucks, at least you have one sweet little cousin who obviously cares about you. (:

This isn't a FML. Yeah, it sucks your boyfriend broke up with you, but most people don't have a little cousin who cares enough to make them a card. Quit your whining.

Why do people assume that the OP is complaining about the card that the cousin gave her? This FML is about that the OP got dumped on her birthday.

#31 if OP wasn't complaining about the card the cousin gave her, then she wouldn't have mentioned it.

yeah, and she had to be reminded of it. Honestly people, think, what's more sad: A break up on your birthday, or a hand drawn card by a five year old? What makes sense? THINK, people, THINK.
