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

rule number 1: Always buy her something for valentine's even when she says you don't have to. in this case, she meant the exact opposite. it can't be helped. many women suffer from this. she was being nice but still wanted to be surprised.

@12 She wasn't being nice. You can't tell someone to not get you a gift, be upset that they didn't get you a gift, and still call yourself a nice person.

That's not being nice, that's being immature. It comes from a very naive mindset where people in relationships (not just women either, I've seen the same phenomenon with men) assume that if their partner REALLY loves them, they'll just instinctually know what they want even if they tell them the exact opposite. It's ridiculous and it's unfair and in my opinion should not be rewarded with gifts.

12, read my comment above. And learn something from it.

Letting her get away with selfishness because she's a woman is not okay.

No, it pisses me off you act like this is normal. I can't say if this is like a lot of women, if it is they need to grow up. Even young children know to say what they want.

#31 this was kind of tongue and cheek really. as for learning I asked for nothing for v day and received nothing. my husband got nothing too. we are perfectly fine. we bought the 5 yr old a teddy and new star wars outfit and went to see deadpool on the 11th while the kid was in school. my mom is one of those women though. lol. locked herself in her bedroom when dad dudnt surprise her with a gift after she said not to. just get the gift as us sane women are few.

#45 it's a fb meme. yep. there was a meme floating around about this exact thing. it said first rule always buy a gift lol. like I posted above...I didn't care. I received nothing and am cool with that.

From now on, go around not asking for things and then throw tantrums whenever she doesn't do the things you didn't ask for. Keep it up until she gets the point.

That is soo mature.
Dave_Davington 33
Exactly the point she'll hopefully get.

Always have a card ready. I keep a bag of gifts in my closet for all occasions and any gender/age. Just little things like books, make up, toy cars, etc. It makes "I wanted to surprise you with your gift tonight!" Seem more believable.

that was a test, you failed.

It's a trap! No gifts means, I want one gift that you just had to buy me because you love me so much. Also why I kept hidden jewelry for my wife just in case. Also never keep a secret gift for a girlfriend in a box that looks like a wedding ring box.

That sounds incredibly entitled on her behalf.

Lesson learned: when a female partner says "yes" or "no", the meaning is often reversed unless she's talking about "that" (in which it definitely means "no"). Unless there are times when they are replying honestly which...I'm still working out how to tell the difference between those situations and these :P.

Sounds like you need higher quality partners.
leogachi 15
@21 Women who act like that are the same ones who wonder why men don't know what they want. It's because they won't tell you what they want. Tell your partner(s) to be straightforward with you. If they say they don't want a gift, don't get them a gift. If they want something they should voice it.

Be careful, OP, she may lay these traps often
PhoenixChick 26
Sounds like she changed her mind. Probably saw everyone else get gifts and got over emotional. Hopefully she'll calm down and admit that she got what she asked for...and learn to know herself better and admit she wants a gift next year!

I don't understand. You both agreed to not get anything, so why is she upset? If I tell people I don't want anything, I mean it. Why would I say don't get me anything and then be upset when someone listened to my wishes?

Rule #1 of dealing with crazy people: Don't question crazy people you'll never be satisfied with the answer

She sounds confusing and double standards. Leave.
