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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Yeah you totally deserve it for being a damned PEDOPHILE

Usually I'd tell you you're just lucky that he remembered (sort of) your anniversary, but this is just insulting. Seems to me that he just did a halfass job to shut you up. Personally I'd rather get nothing at all than a basket that was found in the trash and a bunch of petals that were swiped from my parent's garden.

The crayon bit would have been cute if he hadn't been so childish about the rest of it...Though you can forgive the misspelled name. I'm 18 years old and my aunts still spell my name with "ie" or "y" when they give me cards.

Ahaha. This reminds me of Valentine's Day with my boyfriend this year. He gave me a bunch of bizarre knick-knacks in a bag that said something like "Thanks for visiting!" (It looked like a goodie bag from the dentist's office.) and a box of sweetheart candies with my name (misspelt) on it in his clumsy handwriting, which made it look like an 8-year-old had written it. It was so cute I nearly died. We hadn't been dating very long and my name is pretty unusual (Allegra) and often misspelt so that part didn't really bother me, either.

Creative break up by the boyfriend

Maybe the BF is poor and creative - or he's cheap and thought something up at the last minute, I really can't tell.

Usually, I'd say that it IS the thought that counts, but...since he spelled your name wrong and gave you something he plucked out of the waste bin and a bunch of flower petals he STOLE from your own mother's yard, I'd have to say FYL. He's a ******' idiot. Distant aunts, uncles, and senile grandparents, I can forgive for misspelling my name. But a BOYFRIEND? That's just stupid. Now, if he'd given you a bucket of Twizzlers after you mentioned you loved Twizzlers....well, then... :D

It's the trash part that really REALLY grosses me out. I mean, it's one thing if he takes one of his mother's baskets and fills it with flowers. That would be adorable. But to pick a ruined basket out if the WASTE-BIN? Where, presumably, other trash including food matter is sitting? UGH! That's DISGUSTING!
