Today, I wrote my boyfriend a poem, and left it on the bed with a rose for him to see after work. When I came home later, I noticed the flower in the trash, and the poem had been used as gum wrapper. 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 gave me a poem saying "Roses are red, violets are blue, rubbish is dumped and so are you." FML
Today, for our anniversary, I had made a small treasure hunt for my boyfriend, tying roses with notes of poetry to lampposts across campus to lead him to where we would have a romantic dinner. He couldn't find it because people had stolen the roses, or simply ripped them to pieces and thrown them away. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a really sweet poem that he wrote for me. I think it was secondhand - the first letter of each verse spelled his ex girlfriend's name. FML
Today, my boyfriend came over to celebrate our anniversary. He had a card written in crayon with my name spelled wrong, and a basket I had seen his mother throw in the trash filled with flower petals ripped from my mom's garden. Our anniversary was 3 days ago. FML
Today, my boyfriend wrote me poetry. Here's how it went: "Roses are red, violets are blue, I suck at poetry, show me your tits." That's the most romantic thing he's done for me. FML
Today, I got a rose from my boyfriend. The card read, "It's over." FML
Today, my boyfriend was reading me a poem he wrote for me. It was beautiful, and going really well… until he read the last line, which had a girl's name in it. It wasn't my name. My boyfriend said, "Shit, wrong girl", and dug through his bag for a different poem. FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me to write him a poem, as I am an avid writer. Happily, I agreed. After hours of working, I proudly presented it to him. He read it, laughed, and said, "No babe, I meant a real poem." Maybe I should rethink my career choice. FML
Today, I awoke to rose petals leading me to the front garden. Curious, I followed them, thinking my boyfriend planned something romantic. As I walked out the door, I was hit in the face with a paper plate full of whipped cream and sprinkles, and then locked outside. FML
Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

#9, just thought I'd better put that in there in case I'm jumping to conclusions and the guy's not an uncaring douche after all..

this is what his actions really meant, by throwing the flower out, it's his way of saying I want to throw away my life to be with you. and by wrapping the poem in gum, means he wants you to be wrap something around a sticky substance. really some people are stupid...

Next boyfriend wow I'd be gutted too and I would kick his ass out the house if your so called "boyfriend" can't appreciate something so sweet something so special from the heart then he doesn't deserve you !! **** that douche bag

He threw the flower in the garbage to make it look nice. Who's to say he didn't read the poem and then find another way to make us of it?

I'm thinking more that OP should know her boyfriend well enough to not leave something he clearly would have no interest in. She did something she would like, so it wasn't for him she did it really, it was for herself. Besides, there aren't many guys that dig that soppy stuff. If she wanted a partner with a ****** she could have just got a girlfriend. ;)

@4: homophobe Unless there is some reason why you make a comment like that, you have just proven yourself to be little better than the Klan. Disrespectful and prejudiced bigots who seek to destroy 'the other' because they are too little minded to accept something different than their own norm.

Not all guys are 'simple' and even if he is a 'simple' guy that doesn't give him the right to be unappreciative of the fact that she went out of her way to show him she cares about him, who cares how she showed it, he's an 'simple' idiot.

I'm extremely deep and complex, yet I still think nothing says "I love you" like a *******.

your Boyfriend is a man no? soooooo you're surprised because ........

Because she didn't expect her boyfriend to be an insensitive asshole. I don't want to hear any sexist bullshit, it's not because someone has a penis, that he has lost the capacity to be romantic, or at least decent. Some women are not romantic, some men are not romantic, but I think that the majority of people would like an attention like that and even if they didn't, they would know that it's so damn disrespectful to throw away gifts. I've got some rubbish presents from my boyfriend, but I know that, sometimes, it's all about the gesture. OP's boyfriend showed a very ******-up gesture.

Well said #39. Most men aren't big on poetry, but it was still the jesture which counted and that should have been respected. Poetry isn't anywhere near the top of the list of gifts I would like to receive from a woman I was in a relationship with, but atleast I would accept it knowing she was trying to show she cares about me.

But if you are in a relationship shouldn't you know if your partner will appreciate something or not?
DjeePee 25
Boaf, we don't know how long they are together. And even if they are a couple for years (which I doubt), they can still buy wrong presents for eachother. Heck, my parents know me for 19 years, and I'm still getting unwanted gifts. But I never use a non-appreciated gift as a gum wrapper and throw it away, that's just plain disrespectful. I understand people not liking roses and probably bad poems (sorry OP), but there is something called 'decency'. OP made effort, made a nice gesture, and her boyfriend clearly didn't give a shit. That's NOT a good mentality if you're in a relationship.
ethiorican 0
I'm sorry but I don't know if it's that I give them no credit or what but a man wouldn't get the sentiment of keeping a homemade gift and clearly he didn't in truth I would be more crushed if a best girlfriend of mine trashed a handmade item then a man. he did just what I would expect read it trashed it and thought flowers are gay oh well and trashed that too

I would hang the rose up and let it dry out so I could preserve the memory of the day I came home to a rose and poem -Instead of the day my girlfriend seduced me or did any of the countless free things that will get any straight guy to melt in your hands. He's been insensitive to her awful choice of ways to say I love you. Give the guy a break, at least he didn't **** her sister or best friend.
