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?

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.

Be grateful he kept it at all. Any card I get gets read once, scanned for money, and tossed straight in the recycling.

oh no! he used your card for something! poor you! What he did wasn't mean. Maybe it was stupid, doing something that would hurt your feelings RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU. just because he didn't think, that doesn't make him a bastard. Oh and #31, not to burst your bubble, but your bf didn't necessarily think it was "the nicest thing you've ever done" it's real easy to say that. he was more sensitive to your work than this guy was, but it doesn't make him an angel. And you. #25, just because we don't see as much value in something, doesn't make us douchebags. sure, its OUR fault that we don't flounce around showing everyone something that you did. There's a difference between being appreciative and bowing down to you because you did something that wasn't asked for, the OP has a right to be hurt. you have no reason to be angry

I would be hurt if my boyfriend did something like that. But chances are, if he did it, he probably didn't realize it would hurt your feelings. It seems like common sense to girls, but guys don't think the same way. #103, you're an ass hole. Why do you have to get so insulting and defensive over something that doesn't even concern you? People are so rude.

Awww I wish I knew someone like you. That's sweet of you :) I'd love if someone put that much effort into something for me. Really though, dump him for not apreciating you.

What a wanker XD I would've slapped him. I agree with the comment above me; I'd love for someone to make that much effort.
