Today, it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had dinner reservations to an expensive restaurant and planned to see a movie after. At least, we did, until he called to tell me he'd volunteered to work tonight. He won't get off until 2am. FML

Take another guy to the expensive restaurant and you'll get off way before 2 am. Several times, if you are lucky! ;)

Congratulations and sorry to hear that he couldn't follow through with the plans. My boyfriend and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary a few weeks ago, he ignored me for the whole day until after school when he invited me to go to his house and have dinner, he also gave me the most beautiful necklace. :)

I celebrated my one year with my boyfriend a few weeks ago, we just went to a restaurant, a nice normal one, that wasnt expensive & thats it. I didnt want to go cos i know neither of us actually have money to waste. Not all girls want money and thats all from their boyfriends. Just saying.

do you even know what volunteer means? Now who the **** he think he is to do volunteer work until 2am? Jesus? And seriously why the **** you all jumping on OP? Volunteer work until 2am on the day of their anniversary? for real? she has all the right to bitch about it cos it sounds like he is cheating on her.

At least he has a job and doesn't sit around making you bring in the money. Plus, it can be rescheduled.

I think people are misreading 'volunteered to work' as 'volunteer work'.

He should have told you he was asked to and couldn't say no

Why was it important to mention "expensive" restaurant? If you're truly in love does it matter where you celebrate or how much it costs?

Why would he volunteer to work on your one year anniversary ?

Wow, guys. Most of those who commented are overlooking the FML, andor being miserable, hateful people. You people make me laugh. You can't tell me you wouldn't feel awful about not getting to spend your anniversary with your partner. Pull your heads out because they're too far up there.
