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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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

hahahhaa that's really funny. But i can see why you're upset. You weren't expecting anything grand, but something with a little more thought behind it hahah. Gifts are a luxury but, when you're with someone for as long as a year, who'd hope they'd know something more important about you that you like twizzlers ! Happy one year!

I dont see why you are upset about this either. A bucket of twizzlers?? Thats hella epic!! What did you expect on your 1 year anniversary, a marriage proposal? a pure diamond ring? a pony? I dont know much about your boyfriend, but Im pretty sure that he is a human, not a psychic. He cant read your mind on what you want. You should be grateful that he was being thoughtful of you. There are couples out there who have gotten gifts on their 1 year anneversary that are not as thoughtful as a bucket of candy that you love!

Is it just me, or has anyone else developed a random craving for Twizzlers after reading this FML (and the comments)? To make my comment related to the FML: By putting 'he knew I liked them' in quotes, the OP (Original Poster, for those who don't know, which I didn't until a few months ago) could be implying one of two things: 1) Her boyfriend used that as the reason/excuse for his gift, meaning he couldn't think of anything else to get or forgot and wanted to get something at the last minute; the OP wanted something a bit more meaningful than just candy. **Me personally, though, if my boyfriend gets me candy for our one year anniversary, such as a jar/bag/etc. of Milky Ways, I'd be happy! :)** 2) He really did remember he liked them and honestly thought she would like them! From the way the OP worded this FML, I can't really tell. Oh, a final note to all those saying this girl "supports the New Jersey stereotype:" Get over yourselves. If she was from California, people could make the same stereotypical assumption. If she was from New York, some people would (be ignorant enough to, because I'm from Long Island and would not have the same reaction) make the same assumption, too, maybe. And hey, stereotypes can be tagged to any state...remember that.

Um, perhaps it's a cultural difference, but why do you expect a gift just for this? It's not even a marriage anniversary. Shouldn't a verbal remembrance followed by some romantic moments suffice? Whilst I'd raise an eyebrow if I got something like a bunch of carrots as a present (not because of being cheap, but please, I'm not Bugs Bunny's gf), candy in any form is just ok (cute, whatever). Sure, birthday/Christmas presents are another story. They shouldn't be necessarily expensive, but should show some thought put in. Gee, there's plenty of time to remember them!

Oh, I see. You wanted something worth LOTS OF MONEY, instead of a nice, cheap, heartfelt gift. You don't deserve him. Girls like you are everything that's wrong with the universe. By the way, what did YOU get HIM?

Really now? I get so sick of people who take simple things for granted. If my boyfriend had gotten Twizzlers for my one year, I would've been bouncing off the walls in happiness. Why don't you try not being such a materialistic bitch. This is why there is sexism in the world, simply put. Be happy he thought of you...there are WAY WORSE boyfriends in the world.

I like how you added "He has no idea why I'm so upset" at the end of this. I'm guessing you're the type of girlfriend who refuses to tell him too, aren't you? Him: "Baby I thought you'd like them....why are you upset"? You: "I'm not, I'm FINE!!!!" Him: "Oh come on, I think you're upset. Tell me what I did wrong/" You: "Well if you don't know, then I'm not going to tell you!"
