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

It's the thought that counts

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

He still sounds very sweet. I hope you don't do anything stupid - like dump him for it

Does your name have a few ways to spell if like Marisa two s's or two r's? I know the feeling I always go by a nickname since mine is always spelled wrong...

I know what you mean, my name is Miranda and people always ask if it's Meranda or Maranda. One person even asked me I spelled it Myranda. Apparently my way isn't the most common :/

People may hate me for saying this, but it actually took me forever to get the right spelling for my girlfriends name into my head. I barely ever say or write her real name. Don't be too disappointed, I'm sure his hearts in the right place.

I was jokingly saying women complain about everything. I would also like to know if she told the boyfriend that he misspelt it

Maybe the name is something like Diana, but it's weird where it's spelled Dianna or something like that. Extra letters everywhere!

I guess it just depends on yourself. I'd probably be a bit miffed if it was me. But all the same it was a really nice gesture. Personalising gifts is something I love doing and it means a lot more I think than just going out and buying something. Don't be too hard on him he's obviously worked hard on it.

He put in the effort, I can't fault him for that...some people are just poor spellers. If this is your bf's worst flaw, you've got it good.
