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, it's my girlfriend's birthday. To celebrate, I spent the day with her and then took her out to a really nice dinner. She is currently giving me the silent treatment because I didn't write "Happy Birthday" on her Facebook wall. 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, my girlfriend broke up with me. Her birthday is tomorrow so she sent her new boyfriend to pick up her birthday present. FML
Today, I realised that every morning my girlfriend gets me to help her put on a locket her ex-boyfriend bought her on Valentine's Day. FML
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, 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, my girlfriend left me. I have no clue what to do with the holiday we have booked or the ring I was going to propose to her with on Valentine's Day. FML
Today, my girlfriend is on her period. She hugged me, crying because she was going to miss me. Where was I going? To the store down the street and back. FML
Today, it's the day after my birthday. My boyfriend got me nothing. Nor did he do anything for me for Valentine's Day. Whereas I got him an $85 game for his birthday, planned a surprise visit to his family so he could see them and his pets, and spent all day Valentine's Day making the house spotless, as well as cakes. FML
Today, I received an email saying that the present I ordered for my girlfriend's birthday will be a week late, which makes it a week late for her birthday. I sat down and said we needed to talk, she burst into tears and apologised for 'sleeping with him,' I just wanted to tell her it would be late. FML

Oh, the power of Valentine's Day.

I guess you haven't seen any of the commercials....if she says she doesn't want anything she still does. especially since all her friends are getting gifts....could buy them today and get her twice as much for half the price.

He shouldn't have to. She needs to act like an adult and say what she means and not throw fits over her LISTENING to what SHE says.

What's the point of the test though? If I say not to get me something, then why would I expect them to not listen?

I think it's a test to see if they would go against their words to not get anything but then they cry because they got nothing.

I don't know, some girls feel like the guy needs to get them something anyway to prove that they really love them. It's kinda like when girls tell guys that the bigger the diamond on an engagement ring, the more they must love them. Doesn't make much sense, but girls still do it.

Exactly! I hate that double standard.

Maybe she did, it doesn't say that she didn't.

Actually it was never stated that she didn't get him anything. Maybe she surprised him in hopes that he read between the lines and he did the same. Most of us men are simple minded and when you tell me not to get you a gift then I won't get you a gift and won't think twice about it.

Logic. It has no place in dealing with women.

when people say no gifts, get a gift

Show her you learned your lesson by buying her a box of tissues for her birthday.

Your girlfriend's reaction makes about as much sense as canned bread. Sorry OP.

I can't stand people (not just girls) who pull this kind of crap. Say one thing, but mean another. No one can read your damn mind. Just say what you truly want. No chance of miscommunication, and less chance of hurt feelings.

That sucks :( Girls that act like that give us a bad name. Get her something tomorrow and when she's upset it's late say it's cheaper this way and therefore you are being fiscally responsible. Next time she suggests it bring up what happened today to make sure she really means it

No, don't ever throw this back in her face. If it happens again, just be ready. Buy a non-perishable gift (that is, not flowers) so you can return it if needed. Also, consider a non-financial gift. Make her dinner. Write a poem. Sing a song. No $$, lots of love.

I disagree. Why should she get rewarded for being selfish and throwing a tantrum?

I'm not one for telling one to break up with someone, but if something like this has happened before and this doesn't get resolved, consider it.
