Today, it's my birthday. I worked late, so I was looking forward to spending a quiet evening with my husband. When he suggested we go grocery shopping, I got excited thinking he had organized a surprise party or something. He actually just took me grocery shopping. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML
Today, I got out of work, and just wanted to relax after a stressful day. Instead, I came home to a surprise birthday party that my boyfriend set up. My birthday isn't even until next week, and I secretly hate two of the people he invited. FML
Today, it's my husband's birthday. I tried to buy him a new computer game, to which he complained. I cooked him steak and his favorite cake, and got him another nice gift instead. Hours later, his online friends bought him a new game and it was the only time I saw him genuinely smile. FML
Today, my husband took me out for my birthday dinner. When it was time to pay, he took out a stack of gift cards. I asked where he got them, and he said he got them as a bundle at Costco, and saved sixty bucks on the meal. He then got annoyed with me when I told him it made me not want birthday sex. 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, all that I wanted for my birthday was for someone else to pick out a cake flavor, and to spend the day alone. I've been asked ten times what kind of cake I want, and my husband took a off work. FML
Today, it's my 30th birthday. My husband came home with a big case of beer for himself, then told me he didn't have time to get me a present because of work. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My husband said he had to work today and “rain checked” my birthday celebration for “god knows when, because I’m so busy. I’ll let you know.” A couple of months ago it was his female work bestie’s birthday and he got her a cake, balloon, flowers, and requested time off to take her out for lunch. FML
Today, for my birthday, my wife gave me a "day to myself", except less than 20 minutes after I woke up it was, "could I quickly drive her to an appointment?", and "can we do a quick grocery shop?", and, "the kids need this and that." At bedtime, she asked me how I’d enjoyed my day to myself, seriously. FML
Today, I planned a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend. I invited all his friends and made all his favorite food. He was running very late, so I called to ask what was taking so long. His response? He said he was at his house, with the very friends I was standing next to. FML

Us guys don't play with words... When we say let's go grocery shopping, we mean grocery shopping... There is no other meaning... Unless it's sex related... Then we play with all kind of words :-)

Unless you went to a loud grocery store, you got your wish. Where I go shopping, it's very noisy -- people are laughing at, crying over or yelling at the exorbitant prices they charge. I was almost escorted out last night because my celebratory dance was considered excessive since I found an item that was 10 cents cheaper than at Wal*Mart.

Divorce him. He's no good honey.

Yes, OP, divorce that no good man! He thought you wanted a quiet evening and that's what he gave you. That is definitely grounds for divorce right there!

Finally! Someone who agrees with me.

Hey, a guy that goes grocery shopping "with you", is worth its weight in gold. I know so many guys that leave the shopping solely up to their wives. (:

I wish my boyfriend wouldn't drag me grocery shopping. However, he never buys things I like when he goes by himself.

Worst feeling ever. Oh, and despite everyone saying "Divorce him." I wouldn't do that just because he forgot your birthday, as long as treats you like he should in random hours then you're good.

You have princess mentality written all over you. Husband deserves better.

It's not being a princess. Is it really too much for you to do something nice & random for your partner's birthday? OP just wants acknowledgement & that's normal.

Better to have a "princess" mentality than a stuck-up jerk mentality.

I feel for you OP, I would have been disappointed too. #35 > Really? Expecting a nice attention for her b-day makes her a Princess? I feel sorry for your partner if you have one...
