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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

They had meaning behind them "smart" one. She likes twizzlers and he thought it would be nice to get something she,oh I don't know, LIKES!? yeah your just like the OP an ungrateful bitch who wont amount to anything in life.

My boyfriend, about a month before we actually got together, got me a 14mm spanner because we had so much trouble finding one to do an oil change in my car, which he taught me how to do, It was the best present I got my entire birthday. It was really cute, and had plenty of meaning behind it. He's 23 years old and I'm getting him Aladdin on DVD for christmas because he loves it so much. I agree with the rest, you're insanely ungrateful, gifts do not have a price tag on them, there's a reason you take it off before you give it to someone, its the meaning behind the gift that matters. He thought of something you like, you're lucky he even remembered that. Grow up.

Well, hey! On the bright side, you totally know that he doesn't think you're fat. :D Be happy! He got you something, and has put up with your likely over-dramatic tendencies for a year.

Damn people, chill out! What if "he knew I liked them" was code for how she doesn't actually like Twizzlers - not that he didn't spend enough money on the present. I don't like Twizzlers and if someone got me them as a present saying that I liked them after being with them for a year I'd be pissed as hell too. Maybe the reason you all assume she's pissed about the price is because most of you are the "greedy bitches."

The OP never specified that she doesn't like them. If that's his reasoning, and she didn't state something to the contrary, then why wouldn't we think she does like Twizzlers?

or maybe you can stop being stupid. Seriously since when is "He knows I like them" code for I dont like them? seriously are you retarded? Holy crap

The reason I would think that she might not like Twizzlers is because she put it inside single quotation marks. Sure, maybe I read into it too much, but maybe it's equally, if not more of an overreaction, to be calling someone a "******* bitch" and saying that "you won't amount to anything" simply because they were upset about receiving twizzlers. I find it absolutely impossible to believe that most of the people that wrote these absurd comments have not at some point or another been disappointed in a gift they received. Sure, we do sometimes put higher expectations on gifts than we should (think Christmas or a 10 year olds birthday) but that in no way makes the person "unable to amount to anything in life." That makes her a human with feelings. And her feelings probably would not have been so hurt if he actually had written her a card expressing his feelings for her or made a scavenger hunt of a few of the places that they had been together - or something that showed how much time and thought he put into the gift. It could have very well been free, but I don't think the price of the gift was the point the OP was getting at.

how the hell would he make a scavenger hunt of all the places they've been together if they've been together a year. Maybe the twizzlers were something he honestly thought she liked. Don't start assuming it's all his fault without looking at it from his point of view. I find it easier to believe that she is just being a spoiled brat than his being cheap and uncaring. If he bought it last minute there's a damn good chance he'd have just got her a card and wrote 'happy anniversary, love whateverhisnameis." also, the whole bitch thing comes from more than just the twizzlers. I think the fact that she won't be adult about the situation and talk about why she's mad plays some role in her being a bitch. Besides, we're making our judgments based off the information she gave us, if she wanted us to think she doesn't like twizzlers, or that she expected anything special, she should have said so.

Wow, I didn't realise that romance had to come with a price tag! Think about it this way, your boyfriend didn't resort to the cliché of flowers and chocolates - he actually did something thoughtful that he knew you'd LIKE. For our first Valentines Day, my boyfriend got me limited edition vinyl from one of my favourite bands - not cheap, but not a diamond ring either. The point is, it's not HOW MUCH he pays for your gifts but the intention behind them. The only person I feel sorry for in this story is your boyfriend, who evidently has a spoilt brat for a girlfriend.

I don't think shes being spoiled...maybe shes old fashioned? twizzlers will be gone in a matter of days where something as a necklace or earrings (they dont have to be expensive) will last forever (if you keep them anyway)

The memory of her boyfriend doing a nice, thoughtful thing for her that may not be abundant in funds but is in sentiment should suffice.
The_BluDevil 0
god, there are so many stupid things to reply to. first of all, i think you missed the bucket part of the twizzlers. there are at least a hundred of them in a bucket, so to eat them in a few days would mean she really likes twizzlers, thus making it a pretty thoughtful gift. Also, being old fashioned has nothing to do with it. My grandfather got my grandmother flowers for their 58th anniversary. Guess what old fashioned gifts are. Candy (something like... twizzlers, maybe?) and flowers. Guess what will be gone in a week or so. Some dead flowers, that's what. They weren't even her favorite flower, so I'm gonna bet you assume she got pissed. Nope, she was as happy as could be that a man who cares about her could remember their WEDDING anniversary after 21,184 days, let alone 365 days of mere dating.

I agree with the general sentiment of these comments, although they're a bit harsh and hateful lol. My initial reaction was that you're upset at the twizzlers because they're gross. Understandable. But then I remembered you like them. Not so inderstandable. Also, I forget where it was, but I lmao'ed at "a pony that pees rainbows and craps diamonds"!

For my first anniversary with my boyfriend, I sent his roommate a letter for him a day early so he could get it first thing in the morning the day of. The day of, I sent an envelope filled with slips of paper with little quotes saying why I loved him, why he made me happy, and the like. When we saw each other, I gave him a piece of paper that had in giant bubble-letters "I love you," and the equivalent in more than a hundred languages written in side. Final cost? $0. His reaction? Moved nearly to tears. I'd really love to see a comment from the OP. I'd be interested to see whether she's trying to defend herself, or is getting even bitchier, or what. P.S. OP? You fulfill the NJ stereotype. It's people like you who make me ashamed to be from this state.

well I don't know if this is the real reason but...maybe she wanted something romantic, or something she could keep forever...Maybe like rose shapes earrings. Maybe she didn't mean she wanted it to be expensive just a little more thoughtful *edit* what you did was romantic and sweet...twizzlers aren't romantic unless they had a meaning behind them..which i doubt they did since OP was so upset
