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?

I don't see the FML here. Your little cousin gave you a picture of you with your now-ex-boyfriend? So what. It was probably just a crayon drawn picture anyway... let her think it is you and your ex, and you can pretend that it's you and your next boyfriend and no one else will give a rat's ass.

The FML is that she got upset because she was reminded of that jerk of a boyfriend who dumped her on her birthday.

Whilst the situation sucks, at least you have one sweet little cousin who obviously cares about you. (:

This isn't a FML. Yeah, it sucks your boyfriend broke up with you, but most people don't have a little cousin who cares enough to make them a card. Quit your whining.

Why do people assume that the OP is complaining about the card that the cousin gave her? This FML is about that the OP got dumped on her birthday.

#31 if OP wasn't complaining about the card the cousin gave her, then she wouldn't have mentioned it.

yeah, and she had to be reminded of it. Honestly people, think, what's more sad: A break up on your birthday, or a hand drawn card by a five year old? What makes sense? THINK, people, THINK.

realize that this fml is categorized as love and not little kids. shes complaining about her bf dumping her on her bday, not her little cousin.
