Today, my girlfriend and I decided to exchange presents for our birthdays. I spent $100 on perfume and Victoria's Secret clothes. She bought me a bag of lifesavers, then asked me to leave because she wanted to take a nap. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my girlfriend came home and announced that she'd just bought a $40 pair of flipflops. She then declared that I wouldn't be getting a birthday gift this year due to budget shortfalls. For hers a month prior, I'd got her a $300 piece of jewelry. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went to his best friend’s birthday party. He got her red roses, a necklace and $100 Victoria’s Secret Gift Card. This year he forgot my birthday, gave me a hug and told me to leave his apartment because he had homework to do. We’ve been together for two years. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Victoria's Secret. Suspicious, I checked the receipt he'd left in the bag. Turns out he had bought it during the two weeks we were broken up for some other girl who rejected him, so decided to give it to me instead. FML
Today, my girlfriend is locked in the bathroom crying because I didn't buy her anything for Valentine's Day, even though Friday, at her suggestion, we agreed not to exchange gifts because both of our birthdays are a week away. FML
Today, my girlfriend bought herself a brand new iPad and iPod Touch, and returned my aging iPod and Kindle, which she constantly steals for her own use. She considers it my Valentine's Day present. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me lingerie from Victoria's Secret. He then added that his mother picked it out. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend a very expensive necklace. I gave it to her thinking she'd be extremely happy. Instead she was mad at me because my gift for our anniversary was better than hers. FML
Today, because it was our first Christmas as a couple, I was careful to get my girlfriend what I considered to be a very thoughtful gift. She opened it, took one look at it, made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy, and told me that in future it would be better if I just gave her money so she could buy her own presents. FML
Today, after buying my girlfriend an expensive gift for her birthday, cooking her breakfast in bed, and treating her all day ending with dinner and cake at her parents, she burst into tears and said the whole day was ruined. Why? I forgot to buy her a birthday card. FML
Today, I thought it would be nice to take my girlfriend out to a nice restaurant for my birthday. She got a little headache after we ordered, so she went outside to get some air. I ate a $100 meal and had Happy Birthday sang to me by the restaurant staff. Alone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Imagine if the genders were reversed here? I mean, people are pissed now, but there'd be an epic thousand-comment ****storm going on in here if a guy was the culprit in this FML.

#53 you make absolutely no sense. so based on your comment you dont wear underwear and you use no perfume? bullshit. those things were for her stop trying to be all crazy feminist because you are the kind of person that gives rational feminists a bad name.

nah, i don't mean it in a crazy feminist way. i don't give a rip about females rights or any of that crap. the dude got pissed because HE got lifesavers. he wasn't giving to give, he was givin to get. so you don't like your gift? suck it

oi...if it was all about the gifts his FML would have stopped at lifesavers. Screw the gifts. She simply sounds like a cold hearted bitch. Kicking the bf out to take a nap !?!? What the **** man ? Where's the loving ?

#58 has a good point, you don't give something from Victoria's secret because you think its comfortable, you give it because it looks sexy, so unless you're expecting your gf to be showing off her underwear to other guys then it is a selfish gift, it may be a "thoughtless" selfish gift but it's still selfish

Seriously though, if I had been dating her for a long time and we both loved each other or what not I'd be pretty pissed. At least with sexy underwear you both can enjoy it. And holy shit, no, I believe that most of you people would still be pretty upset if you went and bought a lot of nice gifts for your special someone and it was returned in a shitty manner. Rational or not, thats still pretty cold. Oh well. Thats when you smack the bitch and dump her ;)

Awww, see that sucks because it's blatantly a lie and I suspect you don't even have a girlfriend. *pats* Better lies next time sweetie.

that sucks, but sadly i have done that to boys before, when i really don't like them and they just like to call themselves my boyfriend when i call them stalkers. then i don't take a nap, i call my girlfriends and laugh at easy it was to get rid of you and how i got to keep the present. No offense but seriously, your life is so f**ked its ridiculous.

wtf @ 63, being a gold-digger is hardly new, creative, attractive... or at all challenging. most of us just CHOOSE not to be bitches because we have this thing called "respect" for other people. to the OP, do you like lifesavers at all? like is it possible that your girlfriend was like "i should get him a big bag of lifesavers since he loves them so much!" ? kinda like how in juno, juno gives michael cera's character a shitload of tic tacs and it's cute because he's addicted to them. maybe she was just trying to be sweet and it got kind of lost in your disappointment?
