Today, my boyfriend came over to celebrate our anniversary. He had a card written in crayon with my name spelled wrong, and a basket I had seen his mother throw in the trash filled with flower petals ripped from my mom's garden. Our anniversary was 3 days ago. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, for our anniversary, I had made a small treasure hunt for my boyfriend, tying roses with notes of poetry to lampposts across campus to lead him to where we would have a romantic dinner. He couldn't find it because people had stolen the roses, or simply ripped them to pieces and thrown them away. FML
Today, I wrote my boyfriend a poem, and left it on the bed with a rose for him to see after work. When I came home later, I noticed the flower in the trash, and the poem had been used as gum wrapper. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years sent me several flowers and chocolate boxes to my office. It ends up that he cheated on me with my sister and tried to break the news to me after all the presents he sent. I thought he actually remembered our anniversary this year. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot our anniversary. But it's okay; I wasn't expecting anything after he forgot my birthday, Valentine's Day, and my name. FML
Today, my boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me the painting he had been working on. It was a heart with wings, my name, and the date we started dating. We have been dating for almost a year and a half. He misspelled my name. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a poem saying "Roses are red, violets are blue, rubbish is dumped and so are you." FML
Today, I got a rose from my boyfriend. The card read, "It's over." FML
Today, it's my three month anniversary with my girlfriend and so I decided to bake her a cake from scratch. It took me three hours, a call to my mom, three different recipe books, and half my pantry. On the way to her house, I stopped to pick up flowers and left the cake in the car. It melted. FML
Today, it's our fifth-year anniversary with my boyfriend. I gave him his gift and walked over to the kitchen to serve him some food I'd made. On my way back to the dining room, I overheard his plans with his friend to ditch me in 10 minutes. FML

It sounds like he did great, your boyfriend is 5 years old, right?

It doesn't say you dated for long, but he sounds like a really crappy guy. On the other hand, crayons are cute, the thought counts, then again, if he fails to spell your name...oh god

He can't even bother to spell your name right? If he doesn't care enough about your name, he probably doesn't care about you...

For some reason this sounds like the OP is dating a special needs kinda guy, and this was his best effort. It sounds cute lol.

That's just cruel. Nothing at all would have probably been more thoughtful than a piece of shit gift like that.

it wouldn't probably be better to get nothing at all than that

Personally, I'd rather know that my boyfriend simply forgot about our anniversary or didn't consider it a big deal than know that he considers it okay to slapdash something together that clearly spells out "I cannot be bothered to do something even sort of thoughtful"..

my first thought was that he spelled her name wrong as a joke, since he used crayon like a little kid would. i could be wrong. but unless her name is something in a strange language with 15 letters, i doubt he wouldn't know how to spell it after at least a year (assuming it was a yearly anniversary since ANNI means ANNUAL which means a year :) i dont get monthly "anniversaries.") however, if he really didn't know how to spell it, that sucks. and ripping something out of the trash is just rude, no matter how superficial somebody is. i rather get nothing than get trash.

hmm. that does suck. but if you've been together that long... surely you'd realise they're a pathetic unromantic moron. it's kind of both YLS and YDI.

Guess what? Men don't care as much about anniversaries as women. He may love you with all his heart and soul and still have no idea that anniversary gifts are a big deal. Next time try talking about it beforehand.
