Today, my boyfriend gave me the painting he had been working on. It was a heart with wings, my name, and the date we started dating. We have been dating for almost a year and a half. He misspelled my name. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my tattoo artist boyfriend of five months gave me my first tattoo in celebration of my 18th birthday. It was supposed to be a heart with my name in script. He spelled my name wrong. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 2 years took me to get a tattoo done with his name on. He paid for it. After it was done he told me it was over between us and he thought it'd be a nice reminder of him for me. 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 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, I got a tattoo with my boyfriend's name on it. As we're coworkers, I showed it to him thinking he’d love it. He told me he couldn’t continue the relationship anymore since he realized he wants to fix things with his wife. Three hours of pain and 2 years down the drain. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three days met up with me at the movie theater, sporting a crude tattoo of my face on his cheek, along with a love heart and the word "forever." Looks like I'm single again. FML
Today, for my two month anniversary, my boyfriend surprised me with a "present". He then lifted his pant leg. He had carved my initials into his leg with a knife. FML
Today, I realized my husband and I have been fighting a lot lately, so to show him how much I care, I got a tattoo with his name on it. He hates it. 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 of four months broke up with me via text message. He spelled my name wrong. FML

Is it something overly complicated? Or something that is more commonly spelled a different way?

^ Damn! beat me to it... Well, with a tattoo, she'll have no "regrits"

If you've seen We're The Millers, it's spelled, "No Ragrets". Get with it, ya know what I'm sayin?

Stop being bitchy. He did something special 4 u, no big deal. Don't make him feel bad.

The second I read '4 u' the voice in my head became a stereotypical blonde.

I would think being in a decently lengthy relationship with someone whose name is spelt many ways, their version would be the 'knee-jerk reaction' of how to spell it though. But what you said could be very possible.

My first Valentine's Day with my bf he made a card and spelt it 'Valenes'. It's not that he can't spell it, it's just that he'd been concentrating so hard drawing the letters he thought he was on the second 'n' rather than the first. So I could possibly see how this could happen, depending on the name.

My boyfriend did a similar thing, he put "valetine" on the card.

I agree 5, and people make silly mistakes all the time! You should at least feel like a lucky girl that he put effort and work into something specifically for you, even if it isn't perfect.

exactly, at least you know he cares :)

It's the thought that counts, isn't it? I can't imagine something like a painting was an afterthought, he must have spent plenty of time on it just for you.

He must not think too highly of her if he can't be bothered to remember the spelling of her name.
slycooper_fml 11
I wouldn't say that. Maybe when he took a step back to admire his masterpiece he realized he spelled her name wrong and it was too late to fix it. It doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't care for her.

She probably has a name with different spellings. Lori, Laurie, Laura, ...

Now that's a quality relationship.
zawesomee 14
honestly, I would've just been happy that he made all that effort just for me. I'm sure it was a little spelling mistake anyway, it'snot like he wrote a completely different name.

Dyselxia maybe? I am dyslexic with numbers mostly but sometimes I find myself misspelling words or names I for sure know how to spell.

Number dyslexia is called dyscalcula. I have both dyslexia and dyscalcula. It's only classified as such though if it causes impairment. I keep auto correct turned on with my phone to help, but handwriting? It's hard. Math is even worse. Anything past grade two math I have to do painfully slow or I switch numbers around and get it wrong.

way to focus on the negative. FhisL for dating a debbie downer.
