Today, I had a very long, complicated talk with my girlfriend. Apparently, since she isn't religious, she doesn't have to give anyone Christmas presents, and yet expects everyone to give her some. She then told me what I should get her. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, because it was our first Christmas as a couple, I was careful to get my girlfriend what I considered to be a very thoughtful gift. She opened it, took one look at it, made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy, and told me that in future it would be better if I just gave her money so she could buy her own presents. FML
Today, I've been considering breaking up with my girlfriend so I don't have to buy her a Christmas present. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. She then proceeded to ask for all the gifts she gave me for Christmas back. FML
Today, after buying my girlfriend a $700 bracelet for Christmas, I hinted that I wanted a pair of Oakleys. She told me I shouldn't get her anything and that I should expect even less. FML
Today, I bought my girlfriend a very expensive necklace. I gave it to her thinking she'd be extremely happy. Instead she was mad at me because my gift for our anniversary was better than hers. FML
Today, my girlfriend is locked in the bathroom crying because I didn't buy her anything for Valentine's Day, even though Friday, at her suggestion, we agreed not to exchange gifts because both of our birthdays are a week away. FML
Today, after I spent quite some time getting thoughtful gifts for my friend and her kids ahead of their visit, she made a big fuss about how she'd "forgotten" to bring the gift she'd bought for me. Later, she casually admitted that she'd intentionally not bought me anything because she, "didn't think I'd need it." FML
Today, my girlfriend came home and announced that she'd just bought a $40 pair of flipflops. She then declared that I wouldn't be getting a birthday gift this year due to budget shortfalls. For hers a month prior, I'd got her a $300 piece of jewelry. FML
Today, I thought my mom and I could put aside our differences and open our Christmas presents. When she opened mine, she turned to my dad and said she didn't want the present, so I could give it to someone else. 'Tis the season. FML
Today, my wife asked me to wrap an empty box to put under the Christmas tree. She didn't want her vlog followers to think she didn't get me any gifts. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

She sounds like a really selfish girlfriend. Honestly, even if she is your girlfriend, she is also being terribly unreasonable. If she chooses not to be religious just because she wants to take and not give then that's her choice. But you also have a choice of whether or not you want to give. Christmas should be a time to spend with your loved ones, not a holiday for people to give her free gifts. She seems quite materialistic.

Tell her you're 'respecting her religion' and buy yourself something (or agree and don't get her anything if you aren't religious either, but that seems unlikely given the FML)

Tell her you don't see her point. Christmas is a Pagan festival (it actually is, it's the celebration of the Winter Solstice) but the Christians still give presents to people anyway (the present is probably the only remaining pagan thing about Christmas tbh...)

Uhhh, Christmas trees are pagan - ask the Brotherhood of Blackheads and every single German that ever lived. Almost everything about the holiday itself is pagan. Christians kind of hijacked the celebration, moved the day to the 25th to take some of the attention off of those mean heathen pagans, and touted it as the feast of the nativity. No one even knows for sure if December 25th is really Jesus' birthday.

oh yeah I forgot about the trees. And yeah I was trying to get at the fact the Christian's hijacked it :L. All Christian festivals are Pagan (well... most of them). Easter and Halloween are pagan too...

116 - it's not, historians have proven that, we're just so materialistic that we keep the date

December 25 used to be the solstice, the calendar was moved by 4 days in 400AD but they kept the date of Christmas the same.

#249. Yeah that's right. I do believe that it also used to tie in with the Celtic new year. In Scotland we have our new year celebration on both the last day of December and on the 10th (I think it's then anyway) of January. I should really know this as a Historian who has studied the Celts; but I think that the Winter Solstace used to mark the start of the Celtic year, so Christmas has REALLY lost it's meaning over the years :L.

Girls come in shapes and sizes and I think your girlfriend is the type that uses her boyfriend to get what she want , well you can do two things either to keep that at the back of your head all the time or dump her and the choice is yours
