Today, as part of a charity project called Operation Valentine, I worked with 150 other volunteers to make care packages and Valentine's Day cards to send to the troops in Afghanistan, thanking them for their courage. My boyfriend called the cards "cheating" and now refuses to see me. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent an ungodly amount of money to send my long-distance boyfriend a giant bouquet of roses for Valentine's Day. A few hours after making the non-refundable payment, he let me know we weren't going to work out, and that he was already sleeping with someone else. FML
Today, I went to the store to get Valentine's Day gifts to decorate my boyfriend's and my new apartment. He was there shopping with his wife. FML
Today, for Valentine's Day, my boyfriend gave me the half-eaten chocolate bar that I left in his fridge two weeks ago. FML
Today, I caught a flight to see my boyfriend, who is stationed in the army 300 miles away. When I was just 15 minutes from the base he called to say that we should break up. Now I'm heading back to California, single and broke. FML
Today, I got my husband his favorite candy and wine for Valentine's Day. He got mad and accused me of doing it to "bribe" him into bed, since he hasn't been wanting sex lately. When I asked how he could say something so cruel, he admitted that he's been cheating on me, and my gift made him feel guilty about it. FML
Today, I confronted my boyfriend after he received a text with a bunch of hearts on it. After arguing, turns out it was from me. FML
Today, after ordering a custom $200 Valentine's Day gift box for my husband, he gave it away to a female coworker upon delivery because Valentine's Day isn't for guys. I hope she like the new Xbox one controller and all the gift cards as well. FML
Today, it’s Valentine’s Day. My boyfriend promised me that instead of a packed chain restaurant we would have “dinner under the stars.” We ended up having Slurpees and Slim Jims in the 7-Eleven parking lot. He called me ungrateful for not appreciating his “romantic gesture.” FML
Today, I got an email saying the gift I'd ordered for my boyfriend of three years had been sent. I ordered it a couple of days ago because I thought he needed cheering up. I guess he found a better way of doing so himself; he broke up with me yesterday. FML
Today, I was in class when someone came in with a rose for me. My teacher made me read the card aloud: "I'm breaking up with you, happy Valentine's." It was from my boyfriend. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Did you explain to him what they were though? If he still thinks that, then your boyfriend's a moron.

He'll get over it. No need to escalate things like that.

Yeah that's sad from all concerned I think
Paris25_fml 11
You're him?

There's no need to assault him and possibly get arrested by punching him. He was probably just looking for an excuse to get rid of her in the first place. Or he could just be that insecure.

it could also be that he just a complete idiot and thought that his girlfriend was sending other guys Valentines cards just to send them. Not to do something, even as small as this, to thank our brave troops for all of the hard work and sacrafice they go through to make the world a safer place. Don't worry OP. you did something that will make a lot of people remember just how loved they are back home, and that we are thinking of them still, and I think knowing that is the best gift we can give the brave service men and women and if your boyfriend cant see how good of a person you are for that, im sure a soldier would love to be your pen pal. I salute all those in the service, you are braver than me.

Haha wtf? That's a pretty ridiculous reason to punch someone. Sure, I'd be pissed off and it would make me question the relationship, but I wouldn't be like "EYY YA ****** DICK EAD *SMACK*"... that's just stupid.

Maybe he was just looking for any excuse to get out of the relationship, either way OP it sounds like you're better off..

I agree he's extremely insecure and most likely has some trust issues. Op when your boyfriend is ready to talk you guys needs to have a conversation about that. If he can't trust you with something as innocent as that then it can easily escalate to mistrust with everything. So is there a grounds for his jealousy or is this just irrational?

I hate to jump to the "dump him" camp, but I'd be seriously questioning whether having a relationship with someone who doesn't trust me is worth it. Especially if he thinks something as harmless as giving gifts to the soldiers in Afghanistan counts as cheating. More serious problems could arise later on in the relationship.

Wow. He seems pretty insecure.

Geez he needs to grow up. Anyway you're better off him OP.

I know it's a typo but it still reads like a mafia hit. The boyfriend, eh... He has to go.
your_ma 27
He kind of sounds like a dick. Especially in comparison to the heroes you were helping :/ tell him to grow up or go away!
taka805 10
Exactly!!! Couldn't agree more...

Overly attached boyfriend.
LolPieRofl 11
Please explain to me how that is being overly attached.

You know what they say about people who accuse their spouse of cheatung with no reason. They're probably cheating themselves.
emilyjgraham 34
On one hand I agree, it is kind of irrational for him to assume but maybe she's given him reason to in the past? I don't think we'll ever know if OP has given him a reason for suspicion!

Lol childish behaviour.
