Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. 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
Today, I was dumped at the surprise party I threw for my boyfriend. 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, I threw myself a surprise party. FML
Today, I threw an elaborate surprise birthday party for my boyfriend of four years. He thought we were going to a quiet dinner but when we arrived, thirty of his friends jumped out and surprised him. Instead of kissing me to thank me, he broke up with me because of how easily I had lied to him. FML
Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. I was genuinely surprised—and also genuinely hungover from celebrating my birthday alone the night before because they'd all told me they were busy. FML
Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML
Today, one of my boyfriend's friends ranted on about how I am such a crappy girlfriend and how all of his friends don't like me. I just spent over $200 on a surprise party that I invited them all to last weekend. FML
Today I found out my husband was throwing a 50th surprise party for me, and no one RSVP'd because of my best friend starting arguing with everyone in a group text. This was going to be the first big party or surprise party that I'd ever had. FML
Today, I had a surprise birthday party thrown in my honor. All of my friends and family had been invited, and all of the details were perfect. Who threw the party for me? My ex-girlfriend who I dumped last week for "not being thoughtful enough." FML

Quality over quantity! Your boyfriend obviously cares a lot about you, and I'm sure it was a lovely, intimate birthday

It's the thought that counts.

Hopefully you aren't the type that had friends but once you got a boyfriend you started to ignore them. If so then YDI and if not then I'm sorry OP, I hope you meet a new friend soon.

I've been around those people: I've lost quite a few friends to that type of behavior.

That is kind of what I am wondering as well. Most people don't just not have friends. A good friend of mine got a boyfriend and suddenly no one else mattered!

We do Birthday Parties with family, even as adults, and I surprise party him with his too! Why not that if not anything? It isn't stupid to enjoy time with family. (In hopes that you get along with them, of course!)

Maybe OP has a tiny family. Before I married my husband and got glomped into his massive family, having my family round would be less of a party and more just a family gathering (which granted would still be nice).

You may not have friends, but at least you have a boyfriend, that's something.

Maybe just invite a ton of random people to the party so that you can make friends!
