Be grateful

Today, my boyfriend gave me a bucket of Twizzlers for our one year anniversary because "He knew I liked them." He has no idea why I am so upset. FML

Why ARE you upset? He didn't forget. He even remembered an insignificant detail about you. Most people would find that cute.

This one is confusing because clicking "You deserved it" is the natural reaction because it's generally the negative choice. But she's an ungrateful bitch... so she didn't deserve those Twizzlers. Confusing!

...That's right...she DIDN'T deserve those twizzlers! It's beyond me how someone could think "I have delicious, delicious candy! **** my life!"

Seriously...why ARE you upset? Do you not actually like Twizzlers and forgot to mention that vital detail in your story or something? Or are you just an ungrateful bitch who can't appreciate a nice, thoughtful gift? Your boyfriend actually remembered you liked Twizzlers and bought you some as a gift! That shows he actually thought about what to get you instead of getting something super generic like jewelery. And seriously, what the **** do you expect, diamond and gold necklaces? It's your one year anniversary with your boyfriend, not your gold wedding anniversary!

he was thoughtful enough to notice you liked a specific candy, then buy you a bunch of it. that's awesomely thoughtful~he could have gotten you something cold and impersonal, but he put thought into it and got you something he thought you would genuinely enjoy. don't be a bitch about it. I wish my husband would do things like that instead of buy me jewelry that requires no actual thought for every milestone we hit.

right. I understand her though. maybe she wanted something a little more meaningful after one year, something that she could keep. I hate getting food for special occasions. fyl.

**** you, i would feel as if my gift was shit if my gf gave me a bucket of twislers!

OP, just be glad he remembered and gave you something. It's the thought that counts. And just what did you get him? Unless you actually gave him something, you have no right to post this. It's your one-year anniversary with a boyfriend. Even in marriage, one year is the Paper Anniversary, so you shouldn't be expecting something over-the-top and expensive. Oh, and maybe you should tell him why you're unhappy. It might give him enough warning to get out of the relationship before you take all his money.

How is this an FML? 1) Anniversaries are overrated. Same with Valentine's Day. It's stupid to expect to get a present or special treatment after spending a year with someone, or because it's a certain day. People should treat each other well every day. 2) Maybe you're upset because you bought him something really nice and expensive for your anniversary, but received candy from him? If that's the case, remember that giving is about GIVING—not what you'll get in return. 3) At least he tried to make you happy.

There are two reasons I can think you would be upset. 1) You don't like Twizzlers. Never have. Maybe you even hate them. This means that he's confusing you with his other girlfriend. 2) You're on a diet. You love Twizzlers but you've been cutting sweets out to lose weight, now he's handing you your biggest weakness. Only the first one is really a legitimate reason to be upset, from my point of view.
