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.

I think he gave it to you from the cat because he knew you would have to spend the day with the cat. Your birthday is not a national holiday that people have off work for.... Maybe he will leave you because you are whiny.

You've got a cat together and that is the birthday gift you get? Only one way from here and it ain't up

jeez, what's with all the misogynistic comments here? could all the 12 year old boys just leave and grow up then come back and comment. OP, happy birthday anyway, at least the cat spent the day with you, right? :)

My husband always takes my birthday off - I can't understand why people think that's outrageous. He uses a vacation day.

Wonder if the OP even ASKED her boyfriend to take the day off...

Ah yes that's the thing - hubby and I plan it first because we usually plan a nice day out. We do the same on his birthday too - it's a fun way to use allotted time off.

That also requires a job that HAS vacation days... we have no idea what the OP's boyfriend's job is.

It's not outrageous. It's outrageous that she's bitching because he didn't. Maybe he needed the money, maybe he couldn't. Shit happens.

Typical woman. At least he got you a damn card, and did it uniquely. FYBL.

nigga plz, stop bitching 0.o World doesn't stop when you have your pointless birthday and you do not become a center of universe, be glad your man has a sense of humor, however keep in mind that no one likes whiny bitches who just sit whole day home and doesn't appreciate others

Well what did he do when he got home from work? Did he have a nice suprise for you? At least he remembered your birthday and got you a card, although he did sign it from the cat.

Oh, woe is me. My boyfriend went to earn the bacon while I sit at home and whine on FML. Furthermore, a sense of humor. Find it.
