Today, it was my birthday dinner with my family. Everyone was making an effort to avoid a certain topic. Later my 5 year old cousin gives me a nice hand drawn card of me and my boyfriend. Apparently no one had the heart to tell her my boyfriend had broken up with me on my birthday. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me through my birthday card. FML
Today, it was my birthday. We had a huge family dinner and everyone was invited, including my boyfriend. My family is kind of stuck-up, so I was very nervous about him meeting them. He got into an argument with my uncle over how "awesome" Van Halen is, and ignored me all night. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My gifts were a stomach bug from my kid and a confession to a year-long affair from my (now soon-to-be-ex) husband of 21 years. Nobody even got me a card. 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 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, it was my birthday. My family usually gives me a financial gift, but didn't this time and said nothing about it. I cooked my own birthday dinner without help, then washed everyone's dishes. I got my own cake and ate it alone because they were too busy getting drunk. Nobody bothered to sing Happy Birthday either. FML
Today, it was my co-worker's birthday but she told me not to mention it. Feeling bad for her, I went out to buy her a card, a present, and even a small cake. It turns out that there was actually a party during our lunch break, and I was the only one in our office not invited. FML
Today, I celebrated my birthday. My brother's girlfriend gave me a few snide comments about the choice of music and my dress. Then she teased me about not having a boyfriend. By the way, I haven't had a relationship in five years because I'm still traumatized from past domestic abuse. FML
Today, it's my birthday, I received two cards, one from my mum and one from my son, that my mum gave to him to give to me. My entire family said they couldn't be bothered going out for dinner for my birthday. My two 'friends' didn't even send a card, never mind a gift or want to meet up. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When I was Five NO one liked me! Now I have THREE nieces and one FIVE! And we are close! Yep so you should focus on your cousin cause trust boyfriends come and go! Bonds like you and your cousin will be here EVEN AFTER your body has decomposed!!

That's cute and sweet. Stop blaming a little girl, damn. She didn't know.

I don't think she was blaming the kid. So many people missed the point of this FML. She is bummed her bf broke up with her on her bday and then the reminder probably made the situation awkward. It doesn't say anywhere that she blames the poor kid. She seems like a sweety.

Yeah, but she's in the desert. Alone.

It's also really hot and dry, man. She doesn't have any of her usual make-up, hair supplies, clean clothes, or desert clothes. I mean, it's january here, so she's dressed for winter, and suddenly she's thrown into the desert, with her winter clothes still on. FYL, OP, FYL.

You have a family who loves you and a little kid who adores you enough to make you a handmade card. Toughen up, sweetie. Don't let some immature guy ruin your day. In ten years, you won't even remember him.
