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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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.

bah it's never worth the time, in my experience. i always made my boyfriend cookies and cards and collages and stuff (since i'm always broke) but he didn't get me a christmas, birthday, or one year anniversary ANYTHING, not even a card. we're broken up now haha. but i can understand putting that much effort into something to have it turned into scraps.

It's pretty simple. Did your dad ever want that present you drew or made by hand? No, but your mom loved it right? Usually its the girls that are sentimental and it's the thought that counts. I am assuming you are in HS right?

Id be pissed off. Im an artist who can make pop up cards and those takes hours and dedication and time (blahblah). I understand how you'd feel and to all those jerks who says ydi, f them bc they obviously don't care about cards and sentimental stuff. You're awesome for caring that much

At least he's going to see it all the time. He could've waited until you were gone to toss it in the dustbin, but he's actually keeping it. He'll see it every time he puts his cup of coffee on it. On another note, if this is the only thing making you say FML, you're one lucky bitch to have it so good. Believe me, you could be going through more trouble than your boyfriend not liking your card. Boo hoo.

#66, my dad was the one that would hang up my art and cards, in fact, almost all of my art is still hung up in his room. My mom on the otherhand never really cared for my art. Some guys like getting cute, crafty things, some don't.

What the hell people, not all men are emotionless shitbags. Stop using your dick as an excuse for being a terrible person.
