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?

Is it just one of those names that isnt very common, or could be spelled differently? I have a best friend whos known me for 5 years and still spells it wrong. I mean who gets Maelynn on the first try, right?

At least he didn't write a totally different name! He tried and that's what matters :)

Get a fake tattoo of his name...misspelled, of course. See how HE likes it.

You need to specify whether he didn't know how to spell your name or if he just spelled it wrong. If he didn't know how to spell it, YDI.

I guess lets forget about the fact the he really tried to make something nice and genuine for such a bitch like you. Please break up with him so he can live happy.

She's a bitch for noticing to her name being misspelled? No where does it says she got angry, suspected him of cheating or anything along those lines. She simply pointed out that her name was misspelled. I think most people would both realise what a thoughtful gift it was, AND be somewhat annoyed that someone you've known for a long time can't spell your name.

He forgot to tell you that it was just a draft. Take it as a sign of affection, not affliction, jeez.
