Today, I received an early Christmas gift from my boyfriend of ten months. It was soap. In a few days he will be receiving his very expensive specialized car horn he has wanted for years, while I will be enjoying my new bar of Walmart brand soap, which has already begun to give me a rash. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend decided to gift me soap, a razor, and deodorant for my birthday. FML
Today, it turns out the beautiful, "organic" artisanal soap my boyfriend gave me actually came from the 99 cents store. He just wrapped it in some cellophane and gave it to me. I’m currently itching to death from the godawful rash and hives it gave me. I may need to go to the ER. FML
Today, I received from my husband for Christmas the body lotion that only he uses. And nothing else. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I gave each other early Christmas gifts. I gave him a basketball signed by his favorite player, which took me forever to find. He got me diet pills. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a gift. A half-used bottle of body lotion that belonged to his dead wife. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me acne cream for my birthday. FML
Today, I went to the Walgreens by my house and bought 8 body wash soaps because my boyfriend needs that much for 3 days. I’ve done this so many times that the girls at the register know me, and my boyfriend, by name. They gave me a bunch of $5 off coupons because they felt so bad for me. FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to give me my Christmas present early because he's going to his grandparents' house for Christmas and won't see me. I was excited, until I unwrapped a sweater that I left there a month ago. FML
Today, my husband came home with a Christmas gift from a coworker. It's the same thing I got him. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I don't mind crappy gifts, but I have to wonder why the hell my boyfriend bought me a home enema kit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Ten months and you're already buying him expensive crap?

I could see if it was one of those fancy soap/lotion etc. gift packages. I'd be more concerned that he wants a specialized car horn, that sounds pretty lame to me.

looks like you see your relationship differently, maybe you need to talk to him about that

not really the same thing, but not to mention that woman complaining that the men arriving to SAVE HER LIFE didn't look like the firemen in her calendar.

I was thinking maybe that's why she would be thinking now, I don't agree with the view she seems to have

Your fault. You never buy a present that someone has wanted for longer than you have been going out.

Why not? If you're in a relationship with someone you really care about, it seems perfectly logical to me to want to make them happy and surprise them with something you know they really want. After all, just because they've been together only 10 months doesn't mean their relationship won't end up lasting beyond that. As far as the OP, there isn't enough information to go on. If it was one of those gift basket type things -- not a bad guess on the guy's part; most girls I know are not opposed to nice bath products even if they didn't specifically ask for them. But if it really was just a regular ol' bar of soap, FHL. Not because it was inexpensive, but because it makes it look like the boyfriend put no thought into the gift whatsoever. If money is really the issue, there are many inexpensive gifts that can still be cute and personal

maybe if you smelled better you wouldve gotten something better than soap. he's just trying to keep you hygenic. that h1n1 shit is everywhere. and crabs. gotta make sure you don't get crabs.

You don't buy someone something nice because you want them to do the same for you; you should be doing it because you love him. I bought my boyfriend a laptop for Christmas, even though he already told me he can't afford to get me anything. I just want him to be happy. That's the purpose of presents.

You are just angry that your boyfriend doesn't look like Clay Aiken. The soap is symbolic of all the dirt and temptation floating around inside your mind. Love him for who he is, and don't hate him because he doesn't look like Clay Aiken.

Stop trying to make Clay Aiken happen. He's NOT going to happen!

maby he is hinting something?

He should have been less subtle and given her a douchebag. They still make those, y'know. I saw one at a drugstore that doubled as an enema bag. Bonus!

I really hope you two knew each other as friends prior to going out because if you didn't it'd be a little weird you knew he wanted a horn for years yet only dated him for 10 months

I'm sure over the course of ten months he could conceivably have said, "Hey, you know what? I've wanted this car horn for years!" Humans do occasionally communicate their desires.
