Today, I finally got to surprise my boyfriend with a birthday cake. I spent four days planning the perfect one. First thing he says? "Erm, you know I'm 32, right?" I got his age wrong. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was my boyfriend's 24th birthday. His friends were throwing him a surprise party and I was in charge of getting his birthday cake. As a joke, I got it in the shape of a penis, with a graphic marzipan design. Funny, I never knew his overly-conservative parents were invited. FML
Today, it’s my birthday. My boyfriend of almost 4 years completely forgot. FML
Today, it was my friend's birthday, so I baked him a cake complete with his name written on it in homemade frosting. After I gave it to him, his mother berated me for it, saying I should have checked with her first before making a cake for her son. He's 28. FML
Today, I planned a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend. I invited all his friends and made all his favorite food. He was running very late, so I called to ask what was taking so long. His response? He said he was at his house, with the very friends I was standing next to. FML
Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. The problem? My birthday is tomorrow. I spent the entire evening pretending I was surprised and happy, all while knowing they got the date wrong. FML
Today, we were celebrating my birthday and my boyfriend thought it would be funny to shove my face in the cake. While the candles were still lit. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML
Today, I got out of work, and just wanted to relax after a stressful day. Instead, I came home to a surprise birthday party that my boyfriend set up. My birthday isn't even until next week, and I secretly hate two of the people he invited. FML
Today, I got up at 5 am to bake a surprise birthday cake for my 16-year-old son. I put the cake on the table and went to call my son. "Surprise!" When I came back 30 seconds later, the cake was all gone and the dog was licking his lips. My son won't even believe I made a cake. FML
Today, my boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. FML

I would almost felt sorry for you until you said "first thing HIS said".

It would be nice to have someone so thoughtful in your life. Even if the age is wrong who cares.

The FML-ness of this story depends if she guessed 31 or 52 or 14.

Was the age too young? That could be a compliment if you make it like that.

Idk I would like to be called older than younger. With age come wisdom and Id rather not have my girlfriend think I'm so immature that she thinks I'm younger than I am. Girls take young as a compliment, guys take old, just not too old/young.

This could be a good or bad thing depending on if you said he's older or younger...

what did you write? Was it that bad?
SexyQueen0905 24
Uhhh, age is but a number? Does that work here?

Yep, YDI. How cod you forget his age? Other than his name, that's the next thing you should have memorized. He should dump you and go with someone smarter.

Well, I guess one crazy idiot had to say it anyway. Buddy, if you broke off relationships for little stuff like this, you'll be one of the loneliest people ever. Everyone makes mistakes, and has flaws.

You must not have long relationships.

I regret to inform y'all, that CrazyMelvin has died at the age of 69. He wasn't a husband, or a father, in fact, he never even got laid. But one thing we will always remember this, shining example, of a man for, is his deep understanding of the relationships of others based on less then 300 characters and likely no previous life experience of his own.
