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.

Geez, at least he remembered your anniversary. AND he gave you something you liked, which is a plus. If your FML refers to your life being f***ed because your boyfriend didn't give you an expensive gift, get a clue and stop being so shallow.... getting you something you like is so much more thoughtful than just an expensive gift. I think the gesture is perfectly lovely. You're probably in high school anyway so there is no need for a particularly special gift.

Wow, OP. Who the hell pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

Oh, you'd hate to be me, Ms OP. I got nothing from my boyfriend. I bombarded him with lots of little "worthless" gifts. We spent the evening at a pool hall and went home and I fell asleep in his arms. Two weeks later he gave me a ring.. His mother's promise ring, so he didn't buy it, nor did I pick it out. Oh, isn't my life so horrible? ...Now I am -SO- hungry for Twizzlers.

Actually, FML edited my story. They cut out the part where I said that I had gotten him a $400 dvd player. Thanks FML

You got him a FOUR HUNDRED DOLLAR piece of technology for your ONE-YEAR DATING anniversary???? Well la dee da, Miss Moneybags. That's disgustingly extreme. You usually don't start shelling out entire paychecks for a person until at least the second or third year of dating (and that's only if your relationship is EXTREMELY mature, such as you're at the point where you're living together or considering getting engaged), or even better, your WEDDING. Maybe he doesn't want to spend so much money on such a minor anniversary. Maybe he's saving up to get you something really nice for Christmas or your birthday, so he CAN'T dump out a few HUNDRED dollars whenever you celebrate every single anniversary. Or maybe, he actually thought you'd appreciate something that shows he remembers little details about you, rather an a big expensive pile of meaningless shit. Be thankful he remembered your favorite candy, you ungrateful brat. Sure, it's not an expensive DVD player, but (I assume) he was TRYING to show you how much he cares and pays attention to your likes and dislikes. But no. Instead of being gracious and thanking him for remembering your favorite sweeties, you threw a fit. Grow up or dump him to start dating someone as shallow as you are.

Also, $400 is an insane amount to pay for a dvd player. Where'd you go, 'Rent-A-Center'?
myfriend_youfail 3
That too. We just bought a new DVD player, and it cost $50. FIFTY DOLLARS. Not only did you spend a disgusting amount of money on the thing, you were also ripped off. Most DVD players cost anywhere from $20 to $200, and the two hundred dollar ones include a cassette player and all the cool gadgets. $400...Jesus Christ...what did you do, buy a DVD player that included a cassette player, blu-ray player, and 6 CD changing system???

Who the **** cares if you got him a $400 DVD player? Are you one of those people who buys ridiculously expensive things and expects the other person to equally reciprocate? F your life for completely missing the point of a gift. You don't give things to someone and just expect something of equal monetary value in return. How tacky can you get? Maybe your bf isn't made of money like you are so he can just throw random expensive things at you.

When the OP actually responds, they put a little badge Icon on the side of his comment. Therefore, you are not the OP. (Check the one about the Iraq veteran who's mom called him a "whiny bitch" when he told her about PTSD induced nightmares or the one where the mom applied for a reduction in her already low child support payments)

the original FML was submitted by an anonymous poster, so NakedAggression MIGHT be the OP who signed up after submitting, but it's impossible to tell. Anyways, I'd say YDI for getting upset over him giving you a thoughtful gift just because it doesn't cost an exorbitant amount of money. Some of the best gifts I've ever received cost next to nothing, but took some thought to put together and that's the way it should be.

it'd be a FML if she -didn't- like twizzlers.

get over it bitch, at least he got you something

Yes, because every guy has to spend three-month's salary just to please their girlfriend on their 1 year anniversary, which the relationship might or might not be a committed relationship. It's rather petty to be complaining about something like this. Your bf might only have 20$ to his name, for all we know. Blah...

Today, I remembered my one year anniversary, and decided to get my girlfriend her favorite kind of sweets because I thought she'd appreciate that. She just got pissed at me and isn't even telling me why. FML PS- At least I can still dump the stupid, whiny, ungrateful b***. 1) A gift is precisely what the name implies. FML I didn't get something I didn't deserve = whiny + spoiled. It's really that simple. 2) Someone bothering to figure out what you like and then get you that does NOT deserve to get bitched at. I don't care how bad your PMS is, that is totally unacceptable behavior by anyone older than 3.
