Today, I was going to take my boyfriend to Napa. It's my birthday and I wanted to do something big since last year my fiancée called off the wedding. My boyfriend just broke up with me because I'm "clearly not over" my ex. This makes two consecutive birthdays alone in romantic hotels I paid for. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend gave me the best birthday ever, then promptly broke up with me at midnight to get back with his ex, because he "didn't want to ruin my special day." FML
Today, my boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. FML
Today, for my birthday, I got a hotel room for me and my boyfriend. He decided that spending time with a female friend was more important than spending time with me. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML
Today, I pointed out to my boyfriend how Valentine's day, my birthday, and our one-year anniversary were all coming up in the next few weeks. He then promptly broke up with me. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend, since we weren't getting along. When I got home, I remembered that today is his birthday. Him and all our friends now think I'm a total bitch. FML
Today, It was my fiancé's 21st birthday party. It ended with him too drunk to walk and wailing about how much he misses an ex girlfriend of his that he dumped 4 years ago. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend told me he was too busy studying for finals, but that he'd take me out another day instead. He later drunk-dialled me from a party demanding a lift back home. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I woke up to a text message from my boyfriend, breaking up with me. When I commented on his impeccably bad timing, he admitted he'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he wants to break up. But not until after our anniversary tomorrow, because he's already gotten dinner reservations for us. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think I agree with your boyfriend. Or ex-boyfriend, rather.

he could be in the right...its hard to say. It was really dick for him to break up with you at that time, but do you talk about your ex all the time? If so its kind of a YDI. No guy (or girl) wants to hear how their bf/gf's ex was always an ass, etc. Some talk is fine, but you can over do it.

Right - here's the issue. If you're trying to do something big on your birthday because of something your ex did, well, it seems that you're either not over the ex, or at least what he did. Either way, it's a weird situation for your boyfriend; think about it. How would you feel if he wanted to take you someplace special on his birthday because his last gf ditched him on his birthday? It's weird. You're doing something nice with the person you like not because you want to do something nice, but because someone else did something mean to you. You say as much in the FML. And beyond that even - it's your birthday. Shouldn't he be taking you someplace nice? ...Clearly not over it, in my opinion.

Umm...you people have such strange, generalizing views sometimes. Before I met my husband he took his ex-girlfriend to Paris for New Year's...she ruined the trip by being a bitch. When I started dating him he told me that he took his ex to Paris the year prior and that she ruined the trip so he wanted to go again and take me. I didn't mind at all, because just her being involved in the Paris thing doesn't mean it was about her, it was about him having a good time and making memories with ME! That was 5 years ago and now we've been happily married for almost two. It is totally reasonable to want to have a good birthday with your S/O if the year before another S/O ruined it for you. It's basically like saying "I need good memories on my birthday so I don't remember my ex-fiance calling of the wedding for the rest of my life" It doesn't mean she's not over him. Someone calling off a wedding will still piss you off and hurt deep down years later, maybe even when you're already married to someone else.

YDI - obviously not over the ex. Can't even leave him out of your FML. You have problems

How ******* rich are you? If you can afford 2 consecutive romantic hotel getaways, your life isn't ******. Get over it!

Agreed. It could go either way. From the fact that she wanted a good birthday BECAUSE her fiance dumped her, it does sound like she might not be over him.

How do YOU know she was doing any of that? Don't assume what you clearly don't outright know. Also, lol at all these ~internet tough guys~ essentially implying she deserved to be alone on her birthday. How do any of you know she didn't spend months saving up for that trip? That she wasn't over her ex? That she is "attractive enough" to get two boyfriends in that period of time? I know it's the internet and the anonymity brings out the worst in us, but have a little compassion. She was dumped twice in two consecutive years on her birthday, the one day of the year people have all to themselves. Put yourself in her shoes and stop being dicks.

If he had a brain, he would've gone on the vacation before dumping you...I say you're lucky because you got rid of a dumbass.
