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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's the day after my birthday. My boyfriend got me nothing. Nor did he do anything for me for Valentine's Day. Whereas I got him an $85 game for his birthday, planned a surprise visit to his family so he could see them and his pets, and spent all day Valentine's Day making the house spotless, as well as cakes. FML
Today, it's my birthday, and everyone, family and friends, forgot. Except my dog who left me a present on my bed. FML
Today, it's my birthday, I knew I would be on my own, so I brought some pancakes, only to come down and find that not only had my cat eaten them, but also that I’d have to clean his barf up. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML
Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend had promised that the day would belong to me. But no, I had to drive 80km forth and back to pick him up from work, then he took pictures with his new camera lens, then he decided what to eat, demanded a massage, and then he just fell asleep. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I lit my birthday candles on the cake I made myself and blew them out alone, while my worthless husband sat on the couch stuffing Doritos in his face. My present? He sprayed Lysol in the bathroom after he took a dump. 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, 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 celebrated my birthday. By that, I mean I spent most of the day alone in a field, waiting for my boyfriend to have time for me, then we broke up, and I ended up spending the evening crying alone on a beach. 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

Ohh noo!!! He was going to work making a living and you were left all alone to do nothing? That's too cruel!

...What? At least he remembered. It's not like he can take a day off just because it's your birthday, you know. The fact that you were alone all day was your own fault, get some friends.

Op, we all feel for you, your life sucks more than any I've seen. I would like to recommend you try for reincarnation ;p

So you'd be happy if all the love of your life got you for your birthday was a card from your pet? Either your standards are too low, or you're an idiot. I can't decide.

So the **** what? He got you a card, put MORE thought into it than just "Happy birthday", and then went to go make a living. Take off your imaginary tiara and get a life. There's this new thing called 'friends'.

Yes, be passive-aggressive instead of actually discussing and resolving the problem. What could go wrong!?
TheTruth1428 0
Totally. Passive aggressiveness solves all! As for the OP, God forbid someone actually have to work to make money. That might be a foreign concept to you, but not for the average person. Maybe he isn't able to get you anything money wise, so he thought the card from the cat would be a nice gesture, while he went to work to earn the money you two need to live on?

That's a bit over the top.... My husband has misses 3 of my last 4 birthdays as well as our anniversary due to deployments. At least he was there, remembered, and did SOMETHING for her! Its a ******* birthday, the entire world doesn't stop to make sure you get everything you want. Most bosses would never give someone a day off for their gf birthday, at most let them off a couple hours early for their WIFE'S bday! Stop your bitching op and grow up.

he could have said happy birthday to OP or left her a gift. a card that he bought and signed for the cat doesn't seem appropriate in my opinion.

Why? He remembered it was her birthday, and knew she liked her cat. I thought it was kinda cute and sweet, rather than just the boring "here's a card I wrote both our names in" he actually thought about it. Bitches be unkind, bro This dude is just a working guy who, for whatever reason, didn't get his ungrateful girlfriend a present on her birthday. She shouldn't be expecting something, should be glad he remembered and shouldn't have thought that he would be around KNOWING that he needed to go to work that day. At least he HAS A JOB, which by OP loneliness on that day, would either assume she doesn't; or that she's too lazy to work because of her unreasonable sense of self worth. "Because it's her birthday"
kozmikstarz 0
Yeah, I thought it was cute/sweet too. Why would you expect him to take the day off work for your birthday anyway?
newsgit 0
...because he's her boyfriend and they might spend the day together...?

He might have tried but not gotten the time off. A lot of places will still say no even if you ask more than a month in advance.

Not necessarily. Today is Sunday, many people don't work Sunday, he just probably has a job where he does have to work on weekends.
Rhien 0
She most likely didn't submit this on sunday though. These things usually take awhile to get posted you know.

I don't see how this is an FML. At least he remembered; he gave you a card, and then he had to go to work, and you're complaining he hadn't gotten you a present. Greedy, aren't we? YDI

AND he made the card appear as if it had been signed by the cat. That's creative

That's what I was thinking. So you had the Purrrrfect birthday? < ---- I love this guy ^^

I guess boyfriend thought the OP would get tricked into thinking the card was from the cat, and the boyfriend didn't even mind that he got no credit for it! What a great and selfless guy.

well... Happy Birthday :)

He obviously remembered, he wrote you a card from your cat which is clearly his way of trying to do something nice for you since as a guy he probably assumes you'll think that's adorable, and then you begrudge him a honest day's work from what is most likely his livelihood while you bitch about being "alone". Jesus Christ, you are a piece of work.
