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

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I took my girlfriend out to a fancy restaurant for her birthday. I'd arranged beforehand for some of the staff to come out and sing happy birthday to her, but it all backfired when she started panicking and had a serious anxiety attack from all the attention. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML
Today, my girlfriend decided to treat me out to dinner and cake for my birthday. My mom felt left out and yelled at my girlfriend in an angry tirade. My girlfriend went home. I'm spending my birthday, alone in my room. FML
Today, I took my friends out to an expensive restaurant for my birthday treat. They had arranged for a surprise birthday cake for me which I cut, very happily, while they chanted birthday wishes. When the bill came, I discovered I was supposed to pay for my great 'surprise' cake. FML
Today, it was my girlfriend's birthday, so I decided to take her to a fancy restaurant and give her an expensive $400 necklace that I had bought. Being traditional, I asked the waiter to arrange it nicely on the tray when he came with our dessert. Neither he nor the necklace ever showed up. 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, my boyfriend came to visit me for my birthday. Over dinner he handed me a blank card that had the words "I love you" hastily written on it. When the waiter came to take our order he informed him that we'd be paying separately. Happy Birthday. FML
Today, I went to dinner with friends for my birthday. During the whole thing they insisted that we get whatever we wanted and celebrate, but when the check came, they all looked at me expectantly. I just bought my friends $150 of food for my birthday present. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend of a year out on a date, a nice fancy dinner and a movie. After dinner, I said that I was feeling sick and just wanted to go home. I didn't have the heart to tell her that dinner was so expensive that I didn't have money for the movie. FML
Today, I treated my friends to lunch at a posh restaurant because it's my birthday. While we were walking leisurely around the mall afterwards, their boyfriends showed up. I spent the next few hours walking alone behind them while they were walking hand in hand with their boyfriends. FML

You didn't cancel the order and take your girlfriend home instead due to her not feeling too well?

maybe it was karma for being arrogant enough to take her out for your birthday and have happy birthday sung to yourself?

Everyone here is stupid, don't listen to them. Your girlfriend is cheating on you, did she receive a phone call or a text message before she "went out for air" ? Women won't want to be involved in meaningful plans with a person they are cheating on, and will begin showing odd behaviors to get out of them. Since when does getting air help a headache? Also, as a few people stated why wasn't it her idea to take you out on your birthday instead of you taking her out on your birthday? Something is up, I would look into it.

If HE has to take them both out for HIS birthday, then why should he have to take HER out for HER birthday too? If he is paying for his own birthday meal, then surely she pays for hers? For some reason, despite equal pay and equal opportunities, a lot of women feel it's the man's responsibility to pay for all of the dates...

Why are so many people implying he did something wrong?! It's his birthday dinner. It is one hour, two tops, of one day of an entire year. Be a good girlfriend, suck your headache up, and let him enjoy his dinner - unless you're actually feeling so bad you are ready to call an ambulance.
