hahahhaa that's really funny. But i can see why you're upset. You weren't expecting anything grand, but something with a little more thought behind it hahah. Gifts are a luxury but, when you're with someone for as long as a year, who'd hope they'd know something more important about you that you like twizzlers ! Happy one year!
I dont see why you are upset about this either. A bucket of twizzlers?? Thats hella epic!! What did you expect on your 1 year anniversary, a marriage proposal? a pure diamond ring? a pony? I dont know much about your boyfriend, but Im pretty sure that he is a human, not a psychic. He cant read your mind on what you want. You should be grateful that he was being thoughtful of you. There are couples out there who have gotten gifts on their 1 year anneversary that are not as thoughtful as a bucket of candy that you love!
Is it just me, or has anyone else developed a random craving for Twizzlers after reading this FML (and the comments)? To make my comment related to the FML: By putting 'he knew I liked them' in quotes, the OP (Original Poster, for those who don't know, which I didn't until a few months ago) could be implying one of two things: 1) Her boyfriend used that as the reason/excuse for his gift, meaning he couldn't think of anything else to get or forgot and wanted to get something at the last minute; the OP wanted something a bit more meaningful than just candy. **Me personally, though, if my boyfriend gets me candy for our one year anniversary, such as a jar/bag/etc. of Milky Ways, I'd be happy! :)** 2) He really did remember he liked them and honestly thought she would like them! From the way the OP worded this FML, I can't really tell. Oh, a final note to all those saying this girl "supports the New Jersey stereotype:" Get over yourselves. If she was from California, people could make the same stereotypical assumption. If she was from New York, some people would (be ignorant enough to, because I'm from Long Island and would not have the same reaction) make the same assumption, too, maybe. And hey, stereotypes can be tagged to any state...remember that.
Um, perhaps it's a cultural difference, but why do you expect a gift just for this? It's not even a marriage anniversary. Shouldn't a verbal remembrance followed by some romantic moments suffice? Whilst I'd raise an eyebrow if I got something like a bunch of carrots as a present (not because of being cheap, but please, I'm not Bugs Bunny's gf), candy in any form is just ok (cute, whatever). Sure, birthday/Christmas presents are another story. They shouldn't be necessarily expensive, but should show some thought put in. Gee, there's plenty of time to remember them!
Oh, I see. You wanted something worth LOTS OF MONEY, instead of a nice, cheap, heartfelt gift. You don't deserve him. Girls like you are everything that's wrong with the universe. By the way, what did YOU get HIM?
you and your BOYFRIEND'S ONE year... cheer the **** up, he got you something, I could undertand this being an FML if it was yoru husband. besides, he got you somethign he knew you liked. what was he supposed to do? dish out on an expencive present you may or may not like? grow up, don't be so selfish. what did you get HIM?
Really now? I get so sick of people who take simple things for granted. If my boyfriend had gotten Twizzlers for my one year, I would've been bouncing off the walls in happiness. Why don't you try not being such a materialistic bitch. This is why there is sexism in the world, simply put. Be happy he thought of you...there are WAY WORSE boyfriends in the world.
I like how you added "He has no idea why I'm so upset" at the end of this. I'm guessing you're the type of girlfriend who refuses to tell him too, aren't you? Him: "Baby I thought you'd like them....why are you upset"? You: "I'm not, I'm FINE!!!!" Him: "Oh come on, I think you're upset. Tell me what I did wrong/" You: "Well if you don't know, then I'm not going to tell you!"

******* take them and be happy, asshole.
Why ARE you upset? He didn't forget. He even remembered an insignificant detail about you. Most people would find that cute.
