Today, it's my birthday. I told my boyfriend I wanted to feel special even if for just one day. He said he would do the laundry for me. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend decided to gift me soap, a razor, and deodorant for my birthday. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend was kind enough to give me prescription strength deodorant. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend had promised that the day would belong to me. But no, I had to drive 80km forth and back to pick him up from work, then he took pictures with his new camera lens, then he decided what to eat, demanded a massage, and then he just fell asleep. Happy birthday to me. 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, it's my birthday. My boyfriend told me he was too busy studying for finals, but that he'd take me out another day instead. He later drunk-dialled me from a party demanding a lift back home. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My fiancé decided to give me the gift of "freedom." That's how he put it, anyway. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me acne cream for my birthday. FML
Today, it’s my birthday. My boyfriend didn’t get me a present, or do anything special for me, because, “The rent’s paid, you have a fridge full of groceries… What more do you want?” Later on, he asked me why did I, “look so sad?” FML
Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend’s birthday is a month before mine. I'd spent my birthday savings on his, but he told me that we couldn’t do anything for mine because, “I didn’t plan or organize better.” FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML

Least it's something. In most fmls people usually forget about birthdays

At least he was willing to help out. On my birthday's my now ex husband would still make me do the mountain of laundry including his stinky socks!

at least you weren't physically kicked out of bed and your birthday was at least a little acknowledged

...why do I feel like I've read this exact FML on this site before? Is this basically a standard "douchebag boyfriend" action or something...?

You probably have. It seems like alot of them are recycled almost word for word

Also, not accusing this FML of being a direct copy. It just seemed similar.

Least he said hed do the laundry. Ive had ex boyfriends who wouldnt even offer to do laundry - it was like they 'forgot' how to do laundry as soon as we got together. My birthday is 8 days before Christmas - thankfully I dont give 2 ***** about it, or Id been discouraged years ago hear ng 'oh yeah I forgot'. Be thankfully your boyfriend offered

I don't understand how a grown up does not know how to get their clothes clean. Do they buy new clothes every other day or are they just a**holes?

I'd love my husband to do chores! That would be awesome.

How is it possible that in a relationship between two adults one of them does no chores? How is this even kind of a joke to people and not a total "wtf?".

Wow! My birthday is in less than a week! Will he come do mine? I would love someone to come do the laundry here.

All these comments from girls are hilarious. Yes he should make you feel special, but why not ask more directly what you want?

Because there's nothing special about the birthday person saying "Buy me a new smartphone and let's go eat something.".
