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

50- A lot of teenage girls make their birthday out to be the biggest deal in the world. I've never met one that didn't care, and I'm in high school.

Sometimes I forget if a friend is turning my age (19) or 18. When I write in their bday card I just hope I get it right.

How do you spend so long planning a perfect cake and not know how old your boyfriend is? Hopefully he appreciated the gesture, even if you did get his age wrong.

I hope you aren't a minor :/

Lol I probably would've felt bad for you and told you later after the whole thing was over... It is the thought that counts :)

Forgetting your parents' ages is not the same as forgetting the age of a significant other. Age may not matter, but the little things do, and sometimes, that's remembering age. The cake is a nice gesture, so the flub should be forgotten.

Don't worry about it op! My boyfriend is constantly forgetting my age. He just remembers that I'm a few years younger than him, and guesses wrong all the time. We laugh about it. Hopefully you and your man can laugh about it too. :)

as long as he's over 18, who cares? ;)
