Today, it's my 8 year anniversary. My boyfriend's "romantic" gesture for the occasion was to toss a few McDonald's coupons at me and tell me to get whatever I wanted. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my boyfriend took me on a surprise date, destination unknown. I dressed up, he had a tux on. We went to McDonalds. 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, 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, it’s Valentine’s Day. My boyfriend promised me that instead of a packed chain restaurant we would have “dinner under the stars.” We ended up having Slurpees and Slim Jims in the 7-Eleven parking lot. He called me ungrateful for not appreciating his “romantic gesture.” 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, 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, it's my 7-year anniversary with my boyfriend. I was excited so I asked him what day it was and he said, "Wednesday?" FML
Today, for our 8th wedding anniversary I gave my husband several well-thought-out gifts. He gave me divorce papers. FML
Today, it is my boyfriend's and my one year anniversary. I bought him a Playstation 2. As soon as I gave it to him, he went straight to set it up without giving me anything. I said "What about me?" He walked over to me, gave me a kiss and said "I love it when you buy me things for no reason." FML
Today, I was proposed to in a McDonald's. FML

Never turn down McDonalds in general!

Free macca's is better than no macca's I guess.
buttcramp 21
Hahahaha why is #7 being down voted? McDonalds is everyone's guilty pleasure!
SmuggletheBudgie 15
nah hungry jack's is my guilty pleasure.
OctoDope 15
I know maccas is aussie for McDonalds but what is hungry jack? Is that another chain or an aussie slang?

It's the Australian Burger King :)

#54 You really need to try Zaxby's.

Wow, it is like real life romance movie.
colton_colton 50
I wish my love life could be this romantic!
ziya1999 12
Seems more like the romance is dead. Enjoy the coupons though
joeyl2008 29
Yeah cause if there is one thing guys who haven't proposed after 8 years are known for it's being romantic.
TunaFireStarter 16
@67. Maybe they don't want to get married, or they are young. Either way, not married or engaged =/= not romantic.
GingaNinja01 15
#67, that's not necessarily true. I mean, look at Jesse and Jeana from PrankvsPrank. They've been together for 8 years and they aren't engaged and they love each other very much.

Hmm, let's just have her dump her boyfriend of 8 years over a petty situation. Good idea, scholar. OP, sit down and have a serious conversation on why that upset you. If he truly cares, he will be willing to listen and hopefully, apologize.
Michael903 18
8 years and he treats her like that on their anniversary. Yes, I would say it is time to move on no matter how hard it hurts. Maybe the next boyfriend with be a husband after 8 years and buy her flowers on their anniversary.
colton_colton 50
Dumping him for one bad date is a pretty low move. I agree 11 they need to talk it out instead
Clay_Pidgeon 11
I don't understand #15. That's like saying your parents get you a bad gift. So then you just stop being their kid. It doesn't work like that. OP was probably disappointed but, unless it gets worse its not worth leaving...

The operative difference is that being in a relationship is optional, being someone's son/daughter kind of isn't.
iAlissa 34
But maybe it was just one bad anniversary? Perhaps a bad day? Given, that is no reason to be a dick to OP on their anniversary, but I wouldn't go straight to breaking up with him
Goblin182 26
I am betting this is not the first time the BF has shown little respect to OP.
iAlissa 34
@44 Very good point. Forgot about that haha

My fiancé and I have been together for 5 years and engaged for almost 1 month. We don't do anything special for our anniversary and we've gone to McDonald's on Valentine's Day. Not every girl wants flowers, chocolates, etc and I'm one of them. It's petty to Break up with someone over this and after 8 years why should she even be surprised. I'm pretty sure it's not the first time.
Michael903 18
You're one of the girls that is ok with low key and that is fine. But the OP isn't or she wouldn't have posted it on FML. All you have to do is look at Pinterest to see that most women have very romantic tendencies.

Yes #96 but maybe her boyfriend was just joking? Would you want a bf/gf to constantly be serious? I would want my partner to make jokes and play around

Maybe he is trying to say that you're skinny and is saying to get fatter take it as a compliment
mcrepas 19
No.
HiNowDie 17
If he was trying to tell her to gain weight how would being skinny be a good thing in that situation? Wouldn't that mean he doesn't like her being skinny?
martin8337 35
Why would any man make his old lady fatter? So she won't mess around on him?

NEVER TURN DOWN COUPONS

Hey, free food is free food!

You can't wait 8 years to propose if you're not in line to be king.
NoMore_CoolNames 14
What are you even trying to say?
gmc_blossom 21
@8 Why be a King when you can be a God?
SgtAssCheeks 21
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything? They make it out alive, no church in the wild
outoftown 26
I think 8 refers to Prince William, who took eons to propose to Kate, but I could be wrong.
daniel_dd31 13
I will be more than happy to take those from you.

8 years still your "boyfriend" not husband. Maybe Micky D's coupons are all you're worth
colton_colton 50
Nobody is worth just McDonalds coupons!

Before jumping the gun on marriage, op could be very young still. Some relationships begin early like in middle school and continue for years. If op and boyfriend started dating in seventh grade, assuming seventh graders are about 13 years old, eight years would only make op 21.
ChristianH39 30
26 is spot on. My girlfriend and I have been together since we were 15. If we get married it probably wouldn't be until we've been together almost 10 years. Don't be so judgemental
