Today, my girlfriend broke up with me because I forgot it was her birthday. We had only been dating for 2 weeks. I didn't even know when it was. FML
I agree, your life sucks (17233) - you totally deserved it (4232)
On 02/07/2010 at 1:56pm - love - by jake (man) - United States (Ohio)
(+2)You're better off without her, don't worry.
Edit: What, I'm the only one to follow FML during the Superbowl? Multitask, j0.
(+1)???
Ask what?
Edit: oh, ask her birthday. I don't disagree, but she's holding something against him that SHE KNEW he couldn't have known without stalking her. He's better off without her.
(-1)he says he didn't know when it was. I would hope he'd admit to forgeting. even if he DID forget, she's more than unstable. probably ran out of her bipolar meds.

(0)that's what I thought too cuz they replied to 1 but of course he only did it so his worthless comment could be read
(-1)The way I see it if you are going to be calling her your girlfriend the least you could do is know her birthday.

(0)No #1, you are not alone. Believe it or not there is a whole world outside America (I know, really!) that doesn't care about or even understand Gridiron
(0)I agree with 21, you dodged a bullet. 5 months in and I still dot expect my boyfriend to remember my birthday, which is why I'll remind him a few days beforehand. Pecople can be bad with remembering dates.
(0)Really? I'd say you need to find a better boyfriend. And no, I'm not being needy or expecting too much. Sure, a few weeks in, my boyfriend could NEVER remember the exact date of my birthday (he knew it was on the twenty-something of that month), but 5 months in, I would at least expect him to remember the day I was born.
(0)he shouldn't have to ask, they were only together for 2 weeks, n usually when ur birthday is close to commin u tell ppl or at least talk about it , I kno I do....
(0)page was probably only dating u hoping to get a gift ha girls don't like being alone when holidays or birthdays roll around
(0)I had only been going out with my boyfriend for about two weeks before his birthday, and I remembered. My birthday was less than a month later and he remembered mines. Admittedly, if he had forgotten my birthday, I wouldn't have broken up with him. Your girlfriend really wasn't worth it.

(0)I'm a bipolar girl and even I wouldn't do something like that, even off my meds!

(0)well thats the thing with girls; no matter what you do, you cant win. even if you remembered her bday shed find something else to bitch about.
#142 - On 02/09/2010 at 9:55pm by purpleisacolor
(0)not all 14 year olds are that stupid, and many older girls can be.
#45 - On 02/07/2010 at 10:54pm by djsledgehammer
(0)part of being in a relationship is knowing dumb shit like that but I wouldn't know my girlfriend Bday if I didn't put it in my phone calender haha fyl
(+1)that must mean that she didn't realy want to go out, sorry bro
#4 - On 02/07/2010 at 9:27pm by lepercaunsal
(-2)5th! but still, you should have asked maybe a week before. It would be polite(: haha(:
#5 - On 02/07/2010 at 9:27pm by hope4evr16
(0)No, not really. That's not a casual conversation topic. At least, its not for me. It would have come up eventually if her birthday was farther away but she should have brought it up since it was so close
#130 - On 02/08/2010 at 3:28pm by Sun_Kissed18
(0)^ This. Gotta assume that he doesn't use a social network with alerts much, and she didn't have anything planned involving him, because she would have presumably invited him. Either this or he stopped listening waaaaaay too early in the relationship.
#140 - On 02/08/2010 at 10:09pm by letmeinplease
(-1)You should've asked. But, that girl is stupid if she didn't even tell you and she still broke up with you and probably bitched at you, too, about forgetting her birthday. You didn't forget, she just never told you :/
#6 - On 02/07/2010 at 9:30pm by MermaidSongXOXO
(-1)since when is being fifth an accomplishment.
jake, babe, you need a girl who doesn't find random shit to blame on you. my ex forgot my birthday and I spent days comforting him instead of being pissed. you need someone who will forgive you anything, like I have done for my (sadly) ex.
#7 - On 02/07/2010 at 9:30pm by AngryNinja
(0)hehe.. i thought about it. but I woulda felt like a bitch.
#110 - On 02/08/2010 at 6:20am by AngryNinja
(+1)she knows you didn't know her birthday. she just needed a reason to dump you and the birthday thing was convenient.
#9 - On 02/07/2010 at 9:31pm by dmaster555
(-2)YDI, surely you knew her before going out? most people know their friends birthdays, but even if you didn't know it's still bad.
(+2)That's outstanding. You found out she's a crazy bitch a lot earlier than you would have, otherwise. You are the luckiest man ever.
#13 - On 02/07/2010 at 9:38pm by Consequences
(0)This is truth. And if you got to hit it in the course of your 2 week relationship, you've got nothing to complain about. Your life is blessed.
#72 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:58pm by ImaginaryFoe
(+2)Ah useless comment commenting on the useless ness of previous comment. And this comment is also a usless comment commenting on the useless of the aforementioned useless comment!! ITS A NEVER ENDING LOOP OF USELESSNESS!!!!!!
#54 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:19pm by Thunderbender
(0)ah the joys of useless replies to my useless reply on top of the first comment of uselessness. where are trolls when you need 'em?
#111 - On 02/08/2010 at 6:22am by AngryNinja
(0)I'm suprised she didn't mention it. People usually talk about their birthday at least a week in advance.
If they were twelve it's not that big of a deal since most 12-yr old relationships last two weeks anyways.
They must at least be 13. Ah. Young love.
#51 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:05pm by wilshires1
(0)crazy bitch. I've had boyfriends forget my bday. not a big deal. just don't "remember" theirs. not to mention after 2 weeks she expects you to remember why didn't she remind you if she wanted you to remember you are better off without her.
(0)hey 33 I think it's cool to be so wacked that you slur your typing!
party on.
#37 - On 02/07/2010 at 10:26pm by yallsuperdumb
(0)it will probably be one of the best things that ever happened to you, believe me!
#38 - On 02/07/2010 at 10:26pm by boggabogga
(0)So she definitely overreacted and it's probably best that you're not with someone who is like that. However, it seems odd that you never once thought to ask about her birthday in the time leading up to when you first started going out...Live and learn, I guess!
#39 - On 02/07/2010 at 10:34pm by Miss_Jeannie
(0)Lawl, YDI cause it should be a basic "get to know her" :P
#40 - On 02/07/2010 at 10:35pm by KurouTenshi
(0)one the first date you should have talked and got to no her so you would then no when her bday was
(0)What, do you recommend they fill out a questionnaire on the first date? That way he should know her birthday, favorite foods, allergies, the name of her first pet, shoe size, and her top 5 names for future children. You don't need to learn EVERYTHING about a person on the first date, I would much rather learn about their personality than their birthday and life-history. For all he knew it was still 10 months away.
If her birthday was that soon, it was HER responsibility to bring it up in casual conversation, or even drop a not-so-subtle hint. That or don't get upset that he's not a psychic or a stalker (or worse, a psychic stalker).
FYL OP, but be glad you got away from her while you had the chance!
#52 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:11pm by snake_Girl85
(0)ydi for not knowing, BUT fyl for her being all psycho about it and breaking up over it
#46 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:00pm by xxmarlboroxx
(0)she used that as a excuse... must not have really wanted you
#47 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:02pm by neonskittzy
(0)it's only been two weeks. don't sweat it ;) ps! follow my Twitter.com/likeohmuhgod
#56 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:24pm by mmmazingmary
(0)She said that she broke up with you because you forgot her birthday, but she probably just doesn't like you and was trying to let you off easy. It's passive aggressive and kind of childish, but maybe its for the better depending on how much you'd like to hear how boring and/or obnoxious you are.
(0)ahhh i remember moderating this.... anyway.. someone needs to check back into the asylum or learn a lesson in human consideration... :)
#65 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:47pm by ipwnallmen
(0)fuck her! the day you start worrying about those crazy biatches is the beginning of the end..
#66 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:50pm by mandrake2004
(0)hes not telling the full story. for all we know, he could of known this girl for YEARS and finally started dating and forgot her bday, which would be a YDI, Or, he could of just met the girl 3 weeks ago(or 2 if you like to take things fast) which would be a YDI for not bothering to ask.. for all you know she could be 4 years younger than you. Or, when you met her, you two exchanged ages, in this case you say 'oh hey, whens your birthday?'. either way you derserved it idiot.......
(0)Even if he should have known by then. The fact that she never told him and STILL got mad at him for not knowing shows that she's completey insane.
Most people dont randomly ask when someone's birthday is. Thats something YOU tell someone else.
#71 - On 02/07/2010 at 11:57pm by Thunderbender
(0)I totally disagree man. No sane person would break up with someone over a forgotten birthday. Broads are totally crazy by nature, you shouldn´t even try to understand em, its futile. I slowly got that idea after a couple of relationships with some of those psycho chicks. And totally realized the gravity of the situation when I read some chick´s story on msn, where she proudly told the world that she dumped her ex because he once cut his toenails in front of her. LOL
#75 - On 02/08/2010 at 12:16am by mandrake2004
(0). . .Thats nasty though, I wouldnt really call that crazy.
#127 - On 02/08/2010 at 12:08pm by Thunderbender
(+1)I am an American but I still hate american football. xD
#74 - On 02/08/2010 at 12:14am by jonnyapples
(0)She probably had already told you that or given you hint then expected you to know and never actually thought you never got it. Women! I bet she's just sensitive because it's her birthday and her boyfriend doesn't know it but you guys will get back together after you explain to her I'm sure. But who the he'll become a couple after only 2 weeks, left alone breaking up? You 2 must be kids.
(0)thats funny, i forgot my nieces birthday today too! she turned six and i've alwayss known her birthday! but i didd just get home at like 10 from being on a 3 day trip out of state now i'm just blabbing because i'm high and i'm waiting for my loooser best friend to come up to bed but fuck that i woke her up and she yelled at me, i'll leave her to feel awkward in front of my mom tomorrow morning when she wakes up haha. goodnightt all.
(0)did anyone understand this comment? or am I the complete idiot... no no that definitely didn't make any sense
#86 - On 02/08/2010 at 1:13am by xxmarlboroxx
(0)if she wants to leave let her go. if she can leave for something so simple she doesnt care. Plu the next girl can be betta :D
(0)Thats a stupid thing to cry over. Thats like my wife divorcing me for not knowing where the tv remote is. And i dont even watch tv!
#92 - On 02/08/2010 at 1:29am by PentiumBawls8
(0)that was just a cheap excuse, nobody expects to know his/her birthday after knowing him for a couple weeks.
#93 - On 02/08/2010 at 1:30am by 4toestatue
(0)Um, someone you've been dating for two weeks is not really your girlfriend, unless you are in junior high.
(0)but he shouldve asked anyway. how was she supposed to know he didnt know? with fb and myspace nowadays u should know ur own gf's birthday.
#105 - On 02/08/2010 at 4:37am by danielle8D
(0)that's odd...I swear I read this exact FML a few days ago. except girl was like today my Bf didn't remember my birthday FML. FAKE N GAY. GET ORIGINAL!!!
#107 - On 02/08/2010 at 5:53am by swagga0n1oo
(0)at least you know for next time to either learn her birthday, date people who have a sense of rationality, or establish that you WILL forget it.
#116 - On 02/08/2010 at 8:37am by 42billybob
(0)she was just looking for excuse to break up with u loser..... your calling her ur girlfriend and u only been 2 gether 2 weeks??
(0)that's why you "talk" and get to know each other BEFORE you date/make things official, because if you did that you would have already had her birthday engraved in your brain..dumbass.
#121 - On 02/08/2010 at 10:20am by miss_lovely22
(0)who does that?!?! who breaks up with their bf or gf cuz they didn't kno their bday? ESPECIALLY if they've only been goin out for 2 weeks? obviously tha bitch has problems n ur beta off without her, she's prolly one of those crazy psycho chics anyway
(0)I'd say that you should get out while you can, but you're already there. Seriously, that dumb broad is one pumpkin short of a full pie.
#125 - On 02/08/2010 at 11:45am by blastvortex
(0)it probably wasn't even her birthday and she was just looking for an excuse to dump yo ass!
#126 - On 02/08/2010 at 11:48am by Batman4890
(0)aren't those questions you kinda ask and find out before rushing into a relationship? sigh kids these days and their raging hormones.
(0)@84. you don't need to pretend to be high to seem less of a loser. seriously, stop being a poser and get off the internet
(0)what a materialistic bitch.... you don't need that.
#134 - On 02/08/2010 at 6:32pm by heartagram_in_ro
(0)it was only for 2 weeks
you cant be that heart broken
anyway its kind of your fault
you should have asked... haa
#136 - On 02/08/2010 at 7:19pm by mannup1234
(0)Sounds pretty narcissistic to me -- the girl, not you. I think you got a lucky break in losing her now. It saved you a lot of grief. I'm old and know these things. >wg
(0)I'd say you went all Neo on her and dodged a bullet. Birthdays are so arbitrary anyway, if I ever got involved with a bitch that got all up in my face about forgetting a birthday, or if they even mentioned the toilet seat, I'd sell them to aliens for "medical" studies. True story.
(0)Being a girl, I'll give you some advice.
ALWAYS KNOW WHEN THE BIRTHDAY IS.
It doesn't matter if it's been 2 weeks or 2 years, That's the FIRST thing you ask a girl.
You'll save yourself alot of troublesome shit.
At least you aren't my brother, though.
He forgot his girlfriend's birthday.
He got kicked in the balls.
And in the face.
Broken nose, too.
Happy Birthday!
#143 - On 02/10/2010 at 9:15pm by DarDarAttack
(0)Send her a "thank you" card. Inside it should read:
Thank you for letting me know you are a complete psychopants form the start!
#144 - On 02/15/2010 at 4:06am by LGshutterbug
(0)Why is she your girlfriend if you don't even know her that much.
#145 - On 04/04/2010 at 7:36pm by Baron_Random
(0)You should tell her that you don't believe in celebrating birthdays. Go all morbid and tell her you believe it's wrong to celebrate being one year closer to death.
Seriously, your ex should be shot. Even if you DID know it was her birthday, she can hardly expect you to remember it that quickly. I remember when my fiance's birthday is, but sometimes I "forget" just because I don't realize what the date is. My own brother called me a day late for my birthday because he didn't realize it was already the 21st of April, rather than the 20th. I don't see what the big deal is about birthdays anyway, nobody ever feels different upon turning a year older that I've ever known of.
