Today, my boyfriend gave me a used Nintendo Switch for my birthday. I got mad that he gave me a used one, since I'm worth more than that. Now I have no boyfriend and no Switch. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, when I tried to play my new Switch, my girlfriend yelled at me to "put down the damn video games." I've barely had five minutes to use this thing without her bitching at me. The worst part? She gave it to me, for Christmas. FML
Today, my younger brother broke his Switch in a fit of gamer rage. When my dad refused to buy him a new one, he had a massive tantrum. Later, he dunked mine in the toilet since it "wasn't fair" that I still had a Switch and he didn't. My parents beat him, but they won't buy me a new one. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend stopped getting her birth control weeks ago so she could afford a new Nintendo Switch. FML
Today, my brother threw his Switch across the room and broke it. Our parents decided that, "Video games are bad!" and took away my Switch, as well as my gaming PC that I built and paid for myself. FML
Today, my boyfriend got mad at me because I wouldn't use $5,000 to build him a new gaming computer with my surrogate compensation, even though he basically refuses to get a job. FML
Today, rather than get me a birthday present, my boyfriend just got angry that I got gifts from other people. Apparently, it "made him feel guilty." FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because apparently I need to "grow up". He's the one who excessively plays Call of Duty and still has Pokémon and Bionicles in his room. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend had been telling me for the past two weeks that he had something planned for the occasion. His plan? Me watching TV with his parents, who hate me, while he went to work. His gift? A brand new Xbox 360 for himself. FML
Today, it's the day after my birthday. My boyfriend got me nothing. Nor did he do anything for me for Valentine's Day. Whereas I got him an $85 game for his birthday, planned a surprise visit to his family so he could see them and his pets, and spent all day Valentine's Day making the house spotless, as well as cakes. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me because he wanted to make the most of his 1 month X-Box Live coupon. FML

Sounds like you aren’t worth that. Maybe learn to be thankful for what you are given and not expect someone to spend hundreds on you just because it is your birthday.

I once took a gift back when my kid was unhappy with what he got. He’s never been ungrateful again

Sounds like you're worth a lot less than you think, for being that ungrateful. Your boyfriend dodged a bullet for sure.

You sound like an ungrateful bitch. Why didn't you accept the gift? A used Switch or new Switch doesn't make a difference. It's the thought that counts. You got a Switch and now you no longer have it. Be grateful next time and don't be a bitch about used stuff. Sometimes it's better used.

You're probably worth a Tamagotchi or a book of Mad Libs (one with none of the blanks filled in.)

Go ex-boyfriend! I wish we all had the courage to stand like that against toxic behaviour

Who says you are worth more than that? Maybe it's all he could afford

you're perfectly allowed to think you deserve better, as he obviously also thought he deserved better. if nicer stuff will make you happy this is probably for the best anyway
