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

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...

I don't think it's such a big deal. I mean, they're her friends. Maybe they wanted to have her for the night without any distractions. I don't think it's unreasonable. If it really gets you down then do something else with her to celebrate her birthday. Make it ten times better than their party and show them what a great boyfriend you are so her friends will stop hating on you.

Well, maybe if you were a good boyfriend, you'd be with your girl on her birthday so that when she's surprised, you're surprised as well.

#44, it was a week before, not on her actual birthday. He's not the jerk in this situation.

Honestly, I don't think so. By "Except i wasn't there", do you mean it was great except for the fact that you weren't there, or that she had the greatest time ever without you being there? Difference.

Same thing happened to me, I had been with her for almost two years and I found out about her surprise birthday party 4 months after it happened. She had lied to me and told me she was at the spa out of the state with her mom while she was drinking with over a hundred people 20 minutes away from me.
