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.

Wow, I have to agree with the majority here. You're so ungrateful! It's the thought that counts, and not all guys even so much as remember the anniversary! Be grateful he did!

I have mixed feelings about this. I mean, for one thing, it's a bucket of twizzlers, which doesn't have much thought or much money committed, where a lot of either would be a great thing. On the other hand, it's a 1 year *dating* anniversary. And if you really care about him, a bucket of twizzlers isn't something to get upset about.

Wait, wait, wait. So what gift could he have given her that was more thoughtful? A cliche dinner, jewelry, flowers, chocolate? The OP's (hopefully ex-)boyfriend obviously put more thought into it than the "traditional" anniversary gift. Who cares if it cost $1 or $1 million? If a gift's monetary value means something to you, then you're missing the ******* point of an anniversary, anyway. Money is not love and should not be used as a measurement of love.

Why ARE you so upset?

Oh woe is you. I know a lot of women whose boyfriends or husbands are overseas and they haven't seen them in over a year. At least you get to see yours and he remembered by trying to do something for you that he thought you'd like. QYB and grow up.

You got a bucket of Twizzlers. I don't see the FML in this.

My God, woman...do you know how lucky you are? He remembered your favorite candy, damnit! Do you know how rare it is for the average male to remember his girlfriend's favorite flower or color or food or candy? Count yourself lucky that he pays so much attention to your likes and dislikes, I'd KILL to have my boyfriend remember that I like gardenias, the color teal, crab dinners, and pear jelly beans. I'm lucky if he remembers to pick up milk at the store ten minutes after I've called him to ask him to pick up some milk at the store! Besides that...you received the golden egg of Twizzlers. You got the big jumbo plastic bucket with the cool red lid. Those things are the GODS of candy. In fact, all I wanted for Christmas a few years ago was a jumbo bucket of Twizzlers. So YDI and STFU, you ungrateful cow.

I'm pretty sure all of these things have been said, but I like internet yelling too. He knows what you like. What's wrong with that? It's your FIRST YEAR OF DATING, not your 10th year or something. He actually considered something you said, something you liked. What are you expecting, jewelry? Can you think of anything less original than chocolate, jewelry, or flowers? He actually tried. Also, I'm pretty sure getting a big case of candy from your significant other carries a subtle note of, "I like you just how you are and don't diet and don't call yourself ugly, just eat some tasty, empty calories and be happy with your body because you're beautiful." He could have gotten you an expensive gift like a year-long gym membership, wouldn't that be sweet of him?

I have no idea why you're so upset either, actually.... I like Twizzlers! My boyfriend was actually going to get me acid for our one year (man, I love him!) but that fell through. It's hard to get where we live. So we gave each other our time. Kissed, talked, held each other. It was lovely.

I agree with all the commenters! I'm an Aussie and just learnt what Twizzlers were about 20 seconds ago, they sound delightful- unlike you, you bitter ******* bitch! Who gives a shit about 1year anniversaries? I'd like to know what you got him? Trust me honey, with an attitude like that your never going to get more then a lump of coal, material girl!

Unless he remebered wrong and you don't like Twizzlers, stop being a b*tch. One year dating anniversaries are stupid to begin with.
