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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

If you're young this is pretty bad, you should know. But if you're both over 30 then you get a pass. I often forget my OWN age. People under 30 won't believe this post. Just wait...

I'm 27 and I believe it. I sometimes forget mine as well. I still say 25.

I'm together with my boyfriend for 4 years and know him for about 9. I forget his age constantly, it's just a number and frankly he doesn't care. I feel silly when I forget but if you have to remember the age of EVERYONE, you're going to have a bad time. Imo it's more important that OP remembered his birthday instead of his age.

I've forgotten my own birthday before. Birthdays and ages aren't that big of a deal. Eventually, they become redundant enough that celebrating them is pretty much useless. It's nice to have a small dinner at home, but I don't see the point of getting offended if someone gets my age wrong.

Don't worry OP sometimes I forget my parents age. It's an honest mistake but it's the though that counts!

I forget things when i get baked, so its not the cake's fault for not having the right age

Well.. That is kind of your fault OP. Hopefully he's not too mad!
