Happy birthday, I suppose…

Today, I learned that the surprise party thrown for my girlfriend's 19th birthday was wonderful and she couldn't be happier. Except that I didn't show up. Apparently 40 people were invited but I wasn't one of them. We've been going out for three years. FML

Today, it was my best friend's birthday party. Her boyfriend and I agreed to organize a dinner date to surprise her and celebrate. They celebrated, but forgot me until they arrived at the restaurant and saw the dinner reservation under my name. FML

Today, I'd planned a surprise party for my best friend's birthday. However, she apparently found out about it and told me at the last minute she couldn't make it, probably to avoid being the center of attention. I'd already invited all of our mutual friends, so I had to awkwardly cancel the party. FML

Today, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML

Classic blunder

Today, I found out my best friend was having a birthday party and I wasn't invited, so I asked her why. She replied, "What birthday party?" It was a surprise birthday party. FML

Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML

Great party, eh?

Today, my girlfriend and I threw a housewarming party we'd been planning for almost 2 months. Out of the 30 plus people I invited from work, literally nobody showed up. Not going to lie, I'm a little depressed about it. It's going to be hard to go to work and pretend I'm not upset. FML

Today, I had a surprise birthday party thrown in my honor. All of my friends and family had been invited, and all of the details were perfect. Who threw the party for me? My ex-girlfriend who I dumped last week for "not being thoughtful enough." FML

WhatsApp drama

Today I found out my husband was throwing a 50th surprise party for me, and no one RSVP'd because of my best friend starting arguing with everyone in a group text. This was going to be the first big party or surprise party that I'd ever had. FML

..Ouch. And she didn't invite you once the party started? She's as crappy as her friends, then.

#4, that was so stupid that I reported you for abuse. Abuse of the english language, of my intelligence, of the comment system...

That sucks that her friends don't like you.

I agree with #21 completely. But her friends probably assumed that you knew, or they just really don't like you.

I'm sure if she knew about the fact you were not invited she would have invited you. but, whatever she's YOUR girlfriend so just laugh it off, screw her friends/whoever threw the party!

Well, either her friends don't know you very well, or they don't like you very much. I have a few friends where, if I threw her a party, I probably WOULDN'T invite her boyfriend because he's not a part of our circle of friends. No one is like a 3-years boyfriend, but if you haven't made an attempt to get in with her friends in three years, you're kind of a dick. And you're kind of a dick anyway for planning nothing for her birthday.

Not going to lie, you'd also be kind of a dick if you didn't invite their boyfriends. It's a party for them, not you. They've chosen to date such a person, so even though you might not like them to be there, it isn't about you, it is about who's birthday it is.

People need to learn to fully read, or apologize for their temporary stupidity.....either is acceptable, I also accept cash :) and yeah that sucks, pretty much what most of everybody said, besides #4 and #27

Sorry to break the news but, it sounds like your gf's friends either don't like you, or don't think you're an important part of her life. And why didn't your gf call you once the party got started? It could be that your gf doesn't take you as seriously as you thought she did, and her friends are well aware of that. Tough luck, buddy.
