Money and Love: Dammit

Dammit

By Lvdkinda - 18/06/2009 18:34 - United States

Today, after a month of planning, I started to tease my boyfriend of 3 years about the wonderful anniversary plans I had made for us. It was a secret, so I let him try and guess. He said, "As long as it's not a spa day. That would suck, I'd never go." It's a spa day. That I've already paid for. FML

Today, my boyfriend thought it'd be romantic to take me to a strip club for our 1-year anniversary. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he was going to take me out somewhere special, so I called in sick for work. Turns out he had made reservations for the restaurant I worked at. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend’s birthday is a month before mine. I'd spent my birthday savings on his, but he told me that we couldn’t do anything for mine because, “I didn’t plan or organize better.” FML

Today, it is my three-year-anniversary with my boyfriend. I asked if he had planned anything for us, and he said yes. My parents volunteered to watch our daughter, I got all excited, and apparently our "plans" are to watch a football game. What do I get to do? Make sandwiches. For him. FML

Today, is my boyfriend and my 3 year anniversary. We decided to give each other something that we really needed. I bought him the $300 worth of books that he needed for college. He surprised me with a workout video and exercise equipment. FML

Today, I found out that the money my boyfriend has "secretly" been putting away for the last two months is not for an engagement ring like I'd thought, but for a trip to Vegas I'm not invited to. FML

Today, I woke up to my partner showering me with love and gifts. Confused, I asked, "What's the occasion?" It was our anniversary. Not only had I forgotten, but I'd also scheduled a gaming marathon with friends for the entire day. 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

Today, my boyfriend and I celebrated our six-month anniversary. And by that, I mean he brought along his obnoxious best friend, and I paid for everyone's dinner at an expensive restaurant. FML

Today, my husband told me to look for a honeymoon resort, since we had to cancel it last year. I looked everything up and got all excited. Just when I asked him for payment information, he said "April Fools!" April Fools was two days ago. FML

FYL for already paying for it, but YDI for not knowing what he likes.

Take your best friend and get him something else and just don't tell him about your original idea. It's not that big of a deal. P.S. You'd think after 3 years you'd know if he liked spa days or not.

You should take the time to learn what your boyfriend does and does not like instead of assuming he likes the same crap you like.

wow, you're with him for 3 years and you didnt know that he would hate going to a spa. only FYL because you are in a relationship where you dont communicate enough.

I'm glad it's been said: not only do you get him something that is clearly for you and NOT for him for your anniversary, but he's come to expect disappointment to the degree that he predicts precisely what you're going to do. Nice. Unless he was being sarcastic, and just happened to hit the nail on the head, I guess.

Hahahaha sounds like you made 3 year anniversary plans for YOURSELF. Way to only look out for number one. tsk tsk.

This, this, and this again. YDI for thinking your boyfriend of 3 years (or any guy for that matter) would enjoy a spa day.

YDI. Way to buy yourself an anniversary present. Unless your man particularly enjoys going to the spa, which you would - I hope - know before three years of dating, that's no gift for a guy.

It's your relationship's anniversary. You chose this because it's something YOU like. If you took the time and consideration to ask what he likes, you wouldn't be in this position. Lesson learned. YDI
