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
Collection
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.

I'm an adult (at least the government has begun taking money from me so I'd assume such) and I would LOVE a bucket of twizzlers for an anniversary. I don't even have an anniversary (can't remember when me and my bf met EXACTLY, but birthdays, christmas and other special occasions are plentiful enough ^^) nevermind GIFTS for anniversaries. I am female as well and also very confused as to why you're upset... were you expecting rose petals strewn across the house and diamond rings and shit? O.o

Spoiled bitch. He got you something that he knew you would've liked and you cry about it.

You should appreciate your boyfriend. Expensive gifts are unoriginal. Anyone could go out and buy a pair of earrings. NOT everyone would remember what your favorite candy is. Hopefully these comments on your post will help you realize that you're looking at this all wrong. Eat your candy, and love it!

I agree/understand the OP 100%. Her boyfriend is a cheap asshole. He got her candy. That's embarrassing. He could have spent $20 extra dollars and took her to a movie or something at least. I'm not saying it has to be expensive, he could have even made her something. But he kind of shows that he most likely forgot about it untill he was on his way over so he stopped at Walgreen's to buy her a present.

It's not the price tag that should matter with a gift. It should be the thought that counts. I'd rather my boyfriend gave me something he knew that I could use or at least something that he's taken the time to pick out, rather than something he thought he was forced to buy for me. If you really think that the cost of something is that important, than I hate to say it but you are pretty shallow for thinking that. The OP's boyfriend gave her something he knew she'd like. She has no reason to complain.

Well maybe you two should hang out together and bitch about your boyfriends lame gifts. Neither of you deserve to have boyfriends if all you care about is how much money he spends on you. My boyfriend got me like five or ten pounds of sour gummy worms for Christmas last year (because he knows I love them) and it was the sweetest thing ever. If he remembers to get you something you love, consider yourself lucky. Most guys don't even bother so there.

fair enough, maybe you were expecting something more special, but i'm only seventeen and even i know that boys aren't psychic. if you were expecting more, make it clear.

mmmmm this is making me want to get a package of twizzlers.... anyway, i can only imagine OP being mad if she told him she wanted to go out to dinner or something special, and he just handed her a bucket of candy that she didn't even like.....but this doesn't seem like the case here. oh well.

Its the thought that counts you selfish bitch. I hope he dumps your ass!

YDI for being a selfish self centered bitch. You can't be happy that he remembered and got you something you liked. What were you hoping for? Jewelry? An expensive dinner? Be happy with what you got and move the hell on if you're so materialistic that his present didn't meet your requirements for a PRESENT.

Anyone else would be happy with that. You should have gotten a swift kick in the squash.
