Today, I spent a solid four hours and over one hundred dollars preparing a nice fancy meal for my new girlfriend. A delicious three pound rack of ribs with a sweet and sour marinade. Steam broccoli with melted cheese. Home made buttermilk biscuits. I serve the meal. She doesn't eat beef. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I spent a good deal of my afternoon preparing a nice dinner for my girlfriend. When I finally served the meal, I proudly presented her with a beautifully arranged plate of salmon. She looked at it and said, “You know I’m allergic to fish, right?” We had cereal for dinner instead. FML
Today, I decided to surprise my girlfriend by cooking her dinner. I spent hours preparing and making sure everything was perfect. I lit candles, set the table, and even put on some soft music. When she came home, she'd already eaten and wasn't hungry. FML
Today, I spent 5 hours preparing dinner for my fianc''s grandparents, whom I've never met. At dinner, his grandmother says to him, "If you're going to pick someone to spend the rest of your life with, at least make sure she can cook." I'm the executive chef at a 4 star restaurant. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Being a chef of a highly-rated restaurant, I cooked a well-liked dish. Not only did she say no, but commented on how bland and tasteless the meal was. FML
Today, I spent my entire day off making a brisket. It had been cooking for 8 hours when, just before dinner, I went for a quick jog. In that time my girlfriend came home and ruined it by trying to make it the way she wanted. I'm a chef and she's an office worker. We couldn't eat it. FML
Today, I invited a friend over for dinner and spent hours preparing a fancy meal. When I opened the door, he walked in with his new girlfriend, his mom, his sister, and his dog. I barely had enough food for one, let alone five. I ended up serving my fancy meal on paper plates. FML
Today, I thought I would be cute for my one year anniversary with my girlfriend, so I cooked a three course meal for her with candles and rose petals on the floor. She loved the dinner, except now she's passed out in a food coma upstairs while I'm left with the dishes. FML
Today, I made a healthy, delicious dinner. My girlfriend picked at it until it went cold, then stuck it in the fridge. Later, she devoured a giant bowl of sugary cereal, then complained all night that her stomach hurt. This happens a lot. FML
Today, my girlfriend's parents wanted to cook dinner for me. After a whole day of cooking up a storm, her parents cooked an elaborate meal of roast lamb, pork chops and grilled chicken. Rejecting a meal is like spitting in ones face in Chinese culture. I'm vegetarian. FML
Today, I spent 4 hours making a cheesecake for my brother's girlfriend, which she begged me for a week to make. After my oven breaking and having to buy a new hand mixer, she tells me she's not going to eat it because this morning she decided to try being a vegan because, "it sounds interesting." FML

That sucks, but before you go all-out on a meal like that you should at least know what she likes and doesn't like.

Well, vegetarianism shouldnt exist. It's called the food chain, hippies.

Do you know this "girlfriend"? Doesn't sound like it since you over looked a huge aspect of her life style. Besides sweet n sour isn't for ribs, that's gross. I bet she wouldve quit her veggie eating ways had they been true southern BBQ ribs!!!

YDI I can't believe you didn't bother to ask her about preferences. They do that much on airlines and conferences.

Bull shit, it's not common especially if he was trying to surprise her. Have some sympathy

Is she from India? Really, though, you should ask about these things. Also, for all of you who assumed she's vegetarian, he said 'she doesn't eat beef', not meat.

I don't know why you're thumbed down... I agree.

Yes, because that's a completely reasonable reason to break up with someone. I bet you get all the girls, champ.

What the hell, you dump her because she doesn't eat beef. Jesus, I'd hate to see what kind of ridiculous reason you'd come up with to break up with someone.

Dude you should at least know what your girlfriend likes before you cook all that for her. And why would you do that when you don't even know what she likes??? When you make a dinner like that your supposed to get her favorite meal details and then do that. Seriously. But it could have been worse. She could have been a vegan.

Yeah you tell her

At least you get the leftovers. I hope this is a new girlfriend, because if you have been out with this person more than a few times, you just haven't been paying attention to her.
