Today, it was supposed to be my birthday dinner with two of my friends. They're both now bringing their boyfriends, so I get to be the fifth wheel to my own birthday dinner. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, it was my best friend's birthday party. Her boyfriend and I agreed to organize a dinner date to surprise her and celebrate. They celebrated, but forgot me until they arrived at the restaurant and saw the dinner reservation under my name. FML
Today, I treated my friends to lunch at a posh restaurant because it's my birthday. While we were walking leisurely around the mall afterwards, their boyfriends showed up. I spent the next few hours walking alone behind them while they were walking hand in hand with their boyfriends. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend to go eat out, hoping to put her in a really romantic mood. She decided to tell her friend, who then invited herself and another couple along. I ended up being made fifth wheel, and had to sit alone at an adjacent table. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML
Today, it's my 25th birthday and all of the friends who promised they could come had excuses why they couldn't make it. Now I'm at the bar, alone. FML
Today, all of my friends showed up an hour late for my 18th birthday party because they decided to go get dinner without me. FML
Today, it's my birthday and I'd arranged a dinner party for 20 of my closest friends. I arrived at the restaurant, fully dressed and everything. When I got there, I thought everyone was ready to surprise me, but instead, nobody showed up. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend is bringing his friends on our trip. I'm now the third wheel on the romantic trip we've planned for a year. FML
Today, it was my birthday. Two of my best friends forgot it, and so did my grandparents. All of my friends were busy, so I spent it alone in my car. FML
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML

Your friends are really rude, if the boyfriends were not invited, they shouldn't have bought them to YOUR birthday. They have no manners.

If that were me I probably wouldn't have enjoyed myself at all. That wasn't very nice of them to turn your birthday celebration into a double date and exclude you. Hate me all you want but I honestly would've left.

Damn, totally should have found a male friend to pretend to be your boyfriend and come to dinner with you.

You should've told them "no". It's your birthday celebration not theirs if they want to bring their boyfriends they should do it on their own birthdays not yours.

I'd totally dump them and find new friends.

Thankfully, not on my birthday, but my girlfriends keep doing the same. Every time I organise a date with them, last minute, the boyfriend has to come along. And it's probably not even a controlling issue thing or whatever - it's just that I also know the boyfriend who probably has no plans so - why not bring him along, right? It's pretty annoying and you do feel a tad out of place, especially with two couples, so I feel ya! I hope it wasn't too bad for you

Bitter much? Hate seeing other people happy when you're not? Unless they are assholes, they are just there to celebrate your birthday with you. The more the merrier.

Not if you want a night out with just your friends. It's her birthday, not date night.

Just suggest that the guys go out to the bar together and watch sports they probably would rather do that anyway!!

Maybe their boyfriends are your present and you're going to get a wild birthday MFM threesome. Better than a gift card to Lane Bryant.
