Today, I thought I would be cute for my one year anniversary with my girlfriend, so I cooked a three course meal for her with candles and rose petals on the floor. She loved the dinner, except now she's passed out in a food coma upstairs while I'm left with the dishes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant for our one year anniversary. After giving her some roses, freshly baked cookies, and a thoughtful poem I wrote for her, she started laughing and asked for her real gift. FML
Today, I cooked a romantic dinner for my partner to celebrate our five year anniversary. I spent hours preparing a snazzy meal. Just as we sat down to eat, I realized I had forgotten to turn off the oven, and our dessert was now a charred lump of coal. We only realised this when the fire alarm in the kitchen went off. FML
Today, at my girlfriend's place, I cleaned up her room, put candles everywhere, scented the air, and placed rose petals all over her bed in an attempt to be romantic and loving. The first thing she said when she saw all this was, "Uhhhhgg, I'll have to clean all this up." FML
Today, it's my three month anniversary with my girlfriend and so I decided to bake her a cake from scratch. It took me three hours, a call to my mom, three different recipe books, and half my pantry. On the way to her house, I stopped to pick up flowers and left the cake in the car. It melted. FML
Today, I lit candles and scattered rose petals on the floor and on the furniture to surprise my girlfriend. When she came in, she sneezed uncontrollably because apparently she’s extremely allergic to these particular roses. The night ended with me driving her to the ER instead of dinner. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I celebrated our anniversary. I had cooked him a romantic meal and we were planning on eating it in front of the fire. This would have gone great had I not forgotten to unblock the chimney. My entire basement filled with smoke and didn't clear for three hours. FML
Today, I planned a romantic dinner with rose petals, the whole lot, for my ex-girlfriend to win her back. When I took her to my house, I told her to guess what I had planned, to which she replied, "I hope it's not a stupid romantic dinner with rose petals and shit." FML
Today, being Valentine's Day, I went all out for my wife with flowers, a candlelit dinner, and tickets to a broadway show. The flowers arrived dead, the dinner sucked, and my wife hated the show. Afterwards, I tried to be intimate, but apparently I smelled like a shart trapped in a pant leg. FML

It occurs when a large meal is eaten. The body diverts blood flow more to the digestive system to help digest the food, and away from things like exercise and muscle exertion, causing fatigue. Also hormonal changes due things like Glucose play a role as well.

Cooks and cleans? You deserve a gold star in boyfriend material. Sorry your night didn't work as planned since you seemed to put great effort into the date.

Don't worry. Look beyond scoring for an evening, and you will see that you just racked up some romance points. Girls don't just remember the dumb shit dudes pull. We remember the cute moments, too, and they build up. :)

Did you expect her to do the dishes?? YDI for cooking

Why would that be unreasonable? My BF and I normally cook together and then we keep each other company while the person in charge that time does the dishes.

Well if it was for a special occasion then yeah, it was pretty unreasonable to assume that she would clean up after. It ruins the romance completely. As a normal daily routine sharing chores is a good thing (I cook and my husband cleans up the dishes) but if I made him a special meal just for him, I would not expect him to clean it up too!

I think op was expecting "I surprised her with a meal. Now we are going to clean the dishes together." That, or He cooks, she cleans. That would be a fair arrangement for me.

Or he just expected her to spend time with him instead of leaving him by himself to go sleep.
