Today, it was my boyfriend and mine's six-month anniversary. I've really fallen in love with him, and I know he loves me the same, so I got him a really nice gift, a watch he's had his eye on for as long as I've known him. It was expensive. What did he get me? A condom. Three actually. FML

Six months and you buy him a really expensive watch?

Not very many guys think every month-iversary is particularly special, especially since a lot of girls tend to have their own 'schema' as to which ones are important and which aren't.

So obviously, he DOESN'T love you the same and you need to be aware of that.

Is he gonna plow you three times, or is he gonna triple bag it once?

People, shut up about the fact she classified six months as an "anniversary". Oh ******* well. They spent six months together, so they wanted to celebrate it (well, maybe mostly her). I don't really think gifts should be involved but six months is something to be excited about, at least to me. But it's definitely not one of those things where you go out and have a special dinner or something. Just recognize it.

THAT IS SO RUDE! Those condoms are 10 times more of a gift for him than a gift for you!

It's not the anniversary part that makes this a FML. Nor is it necessarily the price. It's the fact that he gave her condoms. That's basically him asking for -- no, demanding -- something. Gifts should not work that way.

at least half of these comments are about what anniversary means. i now know that anniversary comes from the latin annus. i think this is a hint to tell us what to give on an anniversary ;) seriously tought, that's pretty funny.

yeah really. i didn't know it came from the latin word annus but you can kind of figure it out. annual (once a year) in french year is anne (with accent on e) in spanish year is ano (with accent on n) and even if you didn't know one person can explain it.

i think it's completely idiotic when people celebrate every ******* month they've been together and call it an anniverary. first of all, the root anni means year, is a month a year? i think not! and seriously? do you really think every month is that special? people who celebrate months are just insecure about their relationships. and even if you celebrate months.. who in their right mind would give gifts especially expensive ones? because they'll just expect you to top it off every month and then your life would really be ****** because you'll be broke. enough said.

Some of the comments here seriously piss me off. I happen to think that hitting the 6 months together mark is quite a feat. With the hectic pace of daily life, it's pretty incredible to have the same person in your life for that long, assuming that it is a good realtionship. So yes, OP, I totally agree with you that YLIF. I mean, sure, he did not have to get you something big and expensive since he was probably not aware of what you were getting him. But 3 condoms is not appropriate as any present other than gag gifts.

You're one of the only sane ones here. Or the ones who aren't bitter, at least. =)

totally agree...just because they wanted to celebrate being together for six months, it doesn't mean she deserved it! The bf should've just not gotten the OP anything, rather than giving her condoms! It's like the whole giving lingerie as a present thing....it's not really a present for the receiver of the gift!!

There's no such thing as a 6th month anniversary. Anniversaries happen once a year. Hope you get some good use out of the condoms.
