Maybe OP is not an adult?

I'm 20, and if my boyfriend bought me something like that on our anniversary, I would be extremely grateful. If he bothered putting that much thought into getting something for me I really liked, I would consider myself extremely lucky. And even if you were the type to want the traditional romantic thing, it would still be asinine to just not talk to your boyfriend about it, give him the silent treatment, and simply expect him to know what you want, as per the actions of the OP.

I'm 32 and I agree with the 12 year olds, sorry. I would rather my boyfriend get me something that speaks to who I am and what I like than some vapid stereotypical gesture that he is only doing because morons go around telling everyone that's what girls want. My boyfriend wouldn't do some stupid romantic dinner shit for me because he knows me well enough to know I hate mushy girlie shit. The OP is ungrateful for the fact that her boyfriend was trying to get her something she liked, and ungrateful he got her anything at all. "It's not about him having to give her something expensive, it's about them doing something romantic and adult... " No, it's not about that. It's about the thought behind the gift, whether dinner, candy, a diamond, or a bag of dirt from where you grew up. What it actually is does not matter, it's whether the person who is giving it is genuinely trying to make you happy. I hate when people think that at a certain age you simply *must* abide by certain guidelines and act a certain way. **** that. People should be free to be themselves, and should appreciate when others try to celebrate being with them, regardless.

I'm 25. My girlfriend and I don't even celebrate our anniversary. I can see if it's a wedding anniversary, maybe you'd want to celebrate it, but really, who cares? Spending every day together seems to be enough for us. We don't need a "special date" to validate our relationship. If I want to take her to dinner, I just take her to dinner. If I want to buy her a present, I buy her a present. Anniversaries are overrated. That said, I think if the OP's boyfriend genuinely thought she'd like the Twizzlers, she should shut the hell up. I don't know how old the OP is, but her boyfriend clearly thought she'd moocow the whole package, so how does moemoemoe even know? Plus, Twizzlers DON'T GO bad. They last practically forever. I'm curious to know what she got him that made a bucket of Twizzlers seem so paltry. A BMW?

You're retarded for posting this twice.

wow, I love how this moemoemoe dude/chick keeps repeating themselves, and it's all a bunch of bullshit that they think makes them important, I think that they HAVE no relationship and need to get over themselves and their "adult" point of fiew...10 BUCKS SAYS THEY'RE 13-14 TRYIN TO BE COOL! I mean my parents just hit their second anniversery and the only thing they got eachother was a card. OHH does this count under "adult relationships?" should my mom be angry that my dad didn't take her on a "special date"?....dumb douche just needs to shut up

So because something doesn't fit into your idea of an "adult" gift (whatever the **** that means), it's completely worthless? For my last aniversary (3rd) my boyfriend bought me a Snuggie, and I was in no way dissapointed by this. Every time the commercial came on I commented on how spiffy they were, and the fact that he listened and got me something I liked was way better than him spending a bunch of money on something less personal. In my opinion, you're the only one here that needs to grow up.

@moemoemoe; You're the biggest ******* idiot I've ever seen post on this website, please leave and never come back.

i'm sorry, was he supposed to ride up to her on a white stallion, or even a golden unicorn, and sweep her off her feet, all the while giving her platinum jewelery, endangered flowers and silk teddy bears with diamonds for eyes, and take her to an island where he would cater to her every whim and please her in ways she couldn't have imagined in even her wildest fantasies? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you an attention *****, as well as a flat out bitch. I made my FML account 5 minutes ago because i absolutely had to let you know that you are pretty much the worst kind of woman out there. If i gave a woman candy that i knew she liked and she was not only mad at me, but wanted to be a little kid about it and not handle the problem like an adult (i.e. tell him why your mad so you can discuss your thoughts) I'd dump her on the spot, and keep the damn twizzlers. I hope for the sake of your future happiness that your not the kind of girl who expects the man to pay for everything you need, want, and more, while you sit on your ass like a spoiled little princess. Take a hint from the Beatles. "In the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make." I hope you enjoy loneliness, bitch.
