Today, my boyfriend came over to celebrate our anniversary. He had a card written in crayon with my name spelled wrong, and a basket I had seen his mother throw in the trash filled with flower petals ripped from my mom's garden. Our anniversary was 3 days ago. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, for our anniversary, I had made a small treasure hunt for my boyfriend, tying roses with notes of poetry to lampposts across campus to lead him to where we would have a romantic dinner. He couldn't find it because people had stolen the roses, or simply ripped them to pieces and thrown them away. FML
Today, I wrote my boyfriend a poem, and left it on the bed with a rose for him to see after work. When I came home later, I noticed the flower in the trash, and the poem had been used as gum wrapper. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years sent me several flowers and chocolate boxes to my office. It ends up that he cheated on me with my sister and tried to break the news to me after all the presents he sent. I thought he actually remembered our anniversary this year. FML
Today, my boyfriend forgot our anniversary. But it's okay; I wasn't expecting anything after he forgot my birthday, Valentine's Day, and my name. 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
Today, my boyfriend gave me the painting he had been working on. It was a heart with wings, my name, and the date we started dating. We have been dating for almost a year and a half. He misspelled my name. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a poem saying "Roses are red, violets are blue, rubbish is dumped and so are you." FML
Today, I got a rose from my boyfriend. The card read, "It's over." FML
Today, it's my three month anniversary with my girlfriend and so I decided to bake her a cake from scratch. It took me three hours, a call to my mom, three different recipe books, and half my pantry. On the way to her house, I stopped to pick up flowers and left the cake in the car. It melted. FML
Today, it's our fifth-year anniversary with my boyfriend. I gave him his gift and walked over to the kitchen to serve him some food I'd made. On my way back to the dining room, I overheard his plans with his friend to ditch me in 10 minutes. FML

It sounds like he did great, your boyfriend is 5 years old, right?

It doesn't say you dated for long, but he sounds like a really crappy guy. On the other hand, crayons are cute, the thought counts, then again, if he fails to spell your name...oh god

Wow, that's so romantic, I need to get a girlfriend so I can try it on her, too! Careful not to get him stolen away, he'll be a hit with the ladies that's for sure!

OP, don't bitch around. Admit you made a mistake in picking a boyfriend, dump him, and go on with your life. If you enjoy this kind of treatment then you'll stay with him but then don't bitch to others about the way he treats you.

I don' know what you're smoking, but you need to revise your logic here. I totally agree that dating anniversaries shouldn't be celebrated with extravagance and expensive things. In all honesty, I don't think anyone from either side should feel entitled to expensive gifts just because they're with someone, but the OP's situation is just downright insulting. It would be one thing if he just couldn't afford anything or honestly did forget, or even wanted to pass it up, but he ruined SOMEONE ELSE'S garden and pulled something out of the trash in a half-ass effort to salvage an anniversary gift. What it would say to me, at least, is "here's some shitty thing I put together last second just to shut you up." That's disrespectful and the OP has every right to be angered.

She probably expected a timely gift like a book or a cd, maybe a nice dinner. I know I've asked for books off my Amazon wishlist from my bf for holidays, or inexpensive appliances for my apartment.

you're a moron and a ********. she expected him to put in some effort, she didn't expect some extravagant gift, just something not insulting! also, people do care about relationship anniversaries cos they're important too. what, you think couples who aren't married yet are irrelevant? are unworthy? don't deserve their partners to be romantic? wtf is wrong with you.
