Her revenge
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. She then proceeded to ask for all the gifts she gave me for Christmas back. FML

Today, I had a very long, complicated talk with my girlfriend. Apparently, since she isn't religious, she doesn't have to give anyone Christmas presents, and yet expects everyone to give her some. She then told me what I should get her. FML

Today, because it was our first Christmas as a couple, I was careful to get my girlfriend what I considered to be a very thoughtful gift. She opened it, took one look at it, made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy, and told me that in future it would be better if I just gave her money so she could buy her own presents. FML

Christmas Watts
Today, I’m trying to figure out how to spend Christmas with my wife and kids… and my girlfriend. I’m planning to divorce my wife in January, because doing it on Christmas would hurt them all, but I don’t want my girlfriend to know I’m married or else she’ll leave me. FML

Sweet relief
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. She was ecstatic. Apparently, she'd been trying to figure out how to break up with me for the past four months. FML

Run away, now
Today, my girlfriend gave me a choice of having a circumcision or breaking up with her. Either way I'm going to lose something I hold dear. FML

Today, I was planning on breaking up with my girlfriend of five years in two days time. She just mailed me a care package that said, "I'd die without you." FML

Today, my girlfriend is locked in the bathroom crying because I didn't buy her anything for Valentine's Day, even though Friday, at her suggestion, we agreed not to exchange gifts because both of our birthdays are a week away. FML

Today, I found out that my girlfriend of almost four years was breaking up with me when she captioned an Instagram post saying, "Who else besides me is going into 2018 single?" I had already bought an engagement ring. FML

I don't know if this guy is a "self-centered dumbass" - it sucks being poor. Sometimes when you're dating someone they won't accept it if you don't buy them anything, or if you get them a really cheap present. One year, I dated this guy (I'm a ****), we agreed not to get each other presents. I later found out from a friend, a couple days before Christmas, that he'd bought me something. I was so poor that when I was out with him, I couldn't afford the gas to go out on my own. I hid from him and walked off and pawned some of my DVDs to get him something that he said he wanted, a certain kind of calendar. I bought it in front of him and told him in a half-embarrassed way, trying to make it sound like a joke "Not to look." He seemed okay then. Once we got back out in the car, however, he had a temper tantrum, saying he "didn't want a shitty cheap calendar" and that he "couldn't believe I bought it in front of him" and "I can't believe how thoughtless you were" and even "Well, of course we were going to get each other presents, I can't believe you didn't plan for it." He yelled at me and played the silent treatment until Christmas Day, like some kind of spoiled rich brat. I wish I'd broken up with him then rather than take any more of his crazy womanish crap. Summary: Don't date materialistic and irrational people if you're poor.

okay, this is your girlfriend we are talking about her! You are dating her for a reason right? That means you must care atleast just a little bit. Either that, or you care about getting lucky. Either way? You should do something nice for her, like take her on a little romantic picnic or something.. Really cheap && easy. That way you show her that you do care about her, and it's something that cost NO MONEY! Gosh, talk about a cheap lazy bum!
