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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

Men can be assholes. you would think that maybe your birthday would be one of those days they could afford to take off. I feel horrible for you

Geez, how selfish can you get, demanding that someone takes a day off because it's -your- birthday. Newsflash: Unless you've got a few days left, you can't just take a day off from work, only official holidays, illness or the death of a close relative nets you that. Not the birthday of some ungrateful bitch.

Not to mention that there are industries in which days off are simply not really an option... I think it's pretty absurd that the OP expected her boyfriend not to go to work just because it was her birthday.

Disregard women Acquire currency

That is correct. Acquire currency first, and then women will follow you like you are the second coming of Christ.

I didn't get my gf shit for our anniversary. OP is an ungrateful bitch and so are you other ****** who can't see that at least he did SOMETHING for her birthday and at least tried toake it look cute. So sue the poor bastard for having a job, Jesus!

@24: See, that's the problem with a lot of women these days. Everything has to be all about them, forget the consequences! What if an attendance policy is in strict effect? You think in this economy people aren't lined up to replace him? Gee, it's really too bad he couldn't get you a unicorn that pisses rainbows and craps diamonds! And don't even get me started on that stupid "If he wants to see you he'll find a way." Women don't understand men any more than men understand women.

oh boo-hoo, he worked on your birthday? big freaking deal, at least he gave you a card, even if it was "signed from the cat". quit your whining, at least he has a job. being alone on your birthday isn't his problem, get some friends and stop making your live revolve around him.

This. OP is a total brat. I can imagine her still posting here if he had got her a gift. "OMG TODAY MY BF GOT ME A NICE CARD AND GIFT BUT THEN LEFT ME TO GO MAKE A LIVING HOW RUDE"
