Today, I spent 3 hours making a birthday card for my boyfriend, delicately cutting each letter out of printed coloured paper. He used it as a coffee coaster. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend came over to celebrate our anniversary. He had a card written in crayon with my name spelled wrong, and a basket I had seen his mother throw in the trash filled with flower petals ripped from my mom's garden. Our anniversary was 3 days ago. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a card for my birthday and told me to open it 10 minutes after he'd gone; I waited for 5. In the card was written, "It's not working out, but here's $20." FML
Today, my boyfriend came to visit me for my birthday. Over dinner he handed me a blank card that had the words "I love you" hastily written on it. When the waiter came to take our order he informed him that we'd be paying separately. Happy Birthday. FML
Today, I wrapped my boyfriend's Christmas presents for him, because he was too lazy to do it himself. This included my own present. FML
Today, it was my birthday and everyone in the office chipped in to buy me a card, and nothing but a card. It had a pre-written message on it and a space to write "Love, *insert name*" where everyone signed their names. The "Love" was crossed out and replaced with "From". FML
Today, I had an art class with my girlfriend. The teacher assigned "anti-cards", or cards for unusual or bad occasions. My girlfriend decided to make a "break-up" card, and I helped her write the poem inside it. After class, she gave it to me. FML
Today, I wrote a song for my boyfriend on paper. The first thing he did was correct my grammar. FML
Today, I spent hours hand-painting an awesome design on a gift for a friend. My husband was supposed to assemble it when I finished, but when I stepped back to admire my work, he informed me that the whole thing was sideways. He watched me paint it. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend didn't get me a present. He did, however, get me a card from our cat. He signed it "Have a purrrrfect birthday." Then he left to go to work. I was alone all day long. FML
Today, I wrote my boyfriend a poem, and left it on the bed with a rose for him to see after work. When I came home later, I noticed the flower in the trash, and the poem had been used as gum wrapper. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

When someone does that kind of shit with stuff I make, I stop caring about getting them anything special. Next time just grab a card and sign it, since he doesn't seem to care. By the way, don't print out colored paper just to cut out. Go out and buy construction paper, it's cheaper.

What a jerk. Even if he's not into the sentimentality of cards or whatever, he should at least show some appreciation for you and your effort.

1) it was his birthday and all you did was give him a f-ing card!?! im suprised he didn't dump your broke ass on the spot 2) are you this cheap AND arrogant that he didn't like hit? does he even on his birthday have to pretend to love very single breath you take and everything you do? 3) get a JOB!

134- ok I know I'm about a year late for this but really?? Some people actually enjoy personalized home-made presents, even if it's just a card. It's the thought that counts. And where on the fml does it say he doesn't have a job?????

This is just a fail. All I can say is that you're neglected. Get someone new who appreciates cards, or stop the cards altogether.

What guy really appreciates cards? No, scratch that, who really appreciates cards at all? It's cool to get them with a gift but you can't do anything with them after that. The fact that OP's boyfriend used it as a coster just means that he kept it, that's more than I'd do and I'm a girl.

1) no one seems to get that it's his birthday and all she gave him is a CARD!! i'm suprised he didn't dump you on the spot. 2) are you really that broke that you made a "special card"? he can't see how much time you spend on it, if i were the one who got your card, i probably would've thought you spend 5 minuts on it because you forgot my birthday. 3) get a JOB! and give him a exual present

You don't know that she didn't get him a present ? She was just talking about the card #135 so stop running your mouth when you don't know what you are talking about.

Yeah, sometimes people don't just appreciate things. Oh well, just ignore him on your birthday.

im sorry this sucks. i'm an artist and having someone not appreciate your work is horrible. side note: why would you take the time and money to print out colored paper? you can buy it for like a dollar.
