Today, my boyfriend gave me a bucket of Twizzlers for our one year anniversary because "He knew I liked them." He has no idea why I am so upset. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend thought it'd be romantic to take me to a strip club for our 1-year anniversary. FML
Today, my boyfriend brought me home flowers and candy for the first time in our one-year relationship. Thinking he was going to finally propose, I got excited. I asked why he was being so sweet, and he responded with, "I thought you'd take the breakup better this way." FML
Today, it's my 8 year anniversary. My boyfriend's "romantic" gesture for the occasion was to toss a few McDonald's coupons at me and tell me to get whatever I wanted. FML
Today, on the way out to buy groceries, my boyfriend asked if I'd like him to buy some of my favourite flowers. Happy with his rare show of affection, I said yes. When he returned, he gave me a bag of our usual brand of flour and laughed hysterically in my face. FML
Today, I woke up and my husband said he got me a gift for our one year anniversary and that it was on the table. We laid around cuddling and when I finally got up I was expecting to walk out to beautiful bouquet of flowers. I got two packs of cigarettes. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML
Today, it was our 12th anniversary. My husband only remembered because family members texted to wish us a happy anniversary. When he went out to the store to get groceries, he didn't even buy me flowers. He's also irritated that I "seem sad or something." FML
Today, I surprised my girlfriend with flowers and dinner reservations for our one-year anniversary. She looked confused and said, “Wait, we’re counting from the first time we hung out?” It turns out she thought we were still “just talking.” She also has a boyfriend. It’s not me. FML
Today, my husband bought me a present for our three year anniversary. It was a pack of 20 cigarettes. I don't smoke. He does. FML
Today, I was spending time with my boyfriend for our one year anniversary. Trying to be romantic, I told him that I loved him and I was so glad I was with him. He responded by giving me a thumbs-up and turning back to the TV. FML

Why ARE you upset? He didn't forget. He even remembered an insignificant detail about you. Most people would find that cute.

Wow, you don't even deserve the licorice. Give 'em here. If I got a bucket of Twizzlers for an anniversary, I'd immediately demand a corny licorice swordfight (which would probably be a spectacular failure due to floppiness of candy) followed by renting a movie so we can destroy the whole bucket of candy together. Make the most of the gift and stop freaking out about not getting a meaningless trinket. Yeesh.

His gift shows you how much he listens to you unless you run around screaming at the top of your lungs how much you love twizzlers and alot of girls would kill for that. for all we know he could have surprised you with something later or maybe he just didn't know what to get you? At least he tried! He obviously cares about you because he's been with you a year.

You know, you should be happy he pays attention to what you like instead of whining about it. He sounds like a great guy and all you care about is the gift. At least he even remembered your one year anniversary.

This thread (not the original FML, but the responses) are actually giving me a lot of faith in humanity.

I don't understand why you're so upset either. Don't be a bitch. Besides, how do you know there's not an engagement ring at the bottom?

again-if youre going to get each other a present on your anniversary, perhaps you should work out whether you'll actually get something for each other first, THEN decide on a price or whatever. it really shouldn't matter whether you get presents or not. i'm happy as long as my boyfriend makes me laugh and treats me right, if he wants to buy me lollies he can go right ahead.

again-if you're going to get gifts for each other for whatever occasion you should probably be talking about whether you're actually going to buy something and THEN thinking about how much you want to spend on each other. presents and things shouldn't really matter though its not the be all and end all so try to see past the whole twizzler thing. if he treats you right and makes you happy, then let it go if it really got to you that much. be thankful that you've been with someone for a 'long' time and that he's thought about you. i mean, i would be pretty amazed if my own boyfriend turned up with a bag of musk sticks when our one year came around.
