Today, my boyfriend and I went to his best friend’s birthday party. He got her red roses, a necklace and $100 Victoria’s Secret Gift Card. This year he forgot my birthday, gave me a hug and told me to leave his apartment because he had homework to do. We’ve been together for two years. FML

Today, it's the day after my birthday. My boyfriend got me nothing. Nor did he do anything for me for Valentine's Day. Whereas I got him an $85 game for his birthday, planned a surprise visit to his family so he could see them and his pets, and spent all day Valentine's Day making the house spotless, as well as cakes.

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, 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, my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Victoria's Secret. Suspicious, I checked the receipt he'd left in the bag. Turns out he had bought it during the 2 weeks we were broken up for some other girl who rejected him, so decided to give it to me instead. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I decided to exchange presents for our birthdays. I spent $100 on perfume and Victoria's Secret clothes. She bought me a bag of lifesavers, then asked me to leave because she wanted to take a nap. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend told me he was too busy studying for finals, but that he'd take me out another day instead. He later drunk-dialled me from a party demanding a lift back home. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend went to a “Lovers New Year's Eve” party. I didn’t go. He told me he had to “work” that night and couldn’t spend time with me. When I confronted him about it, he told me he “forgot” to tell me and it was “a last minute thing.” We’ve been dating for 3 years. 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

So he should be known as the ex boyfriend.

I mean, this screams to me that either 1. He’s seeing her on the side, or more likely 2. He would dump you in an instant for her, but she’s not interested in him.

Plot twist he was just saving up for your engagement ring and the best friend helped him pick one, hence the thank you gifts.

Um... yeah no, if I was helping my best friend and he gave me those as a thank you gift and "forgot" about his gf, that's a serious red flag. You don't give your friends romantic gifts or prioritize them over your relationship, especially one that's past the year mark.

I agree with the person saying somis fishy. Dump him that's ridiculous at the very least he doesn't respect you

Are you sure he's actually your boyfriend and not just a guy you sleep with? Because it doesn't sound like he thinks of you as his girlfriend and you being faithful and loyal unfortunately isn't likely to change that.

Sounds to me like YDI if you allow him to treat you like that. That's not how someone treats you if they care about you. Apparently he's just using you because she's using him.

Make the best friend feel amazing & special and leave the girlfriend hanging? Don't take his shit...live your own life without him. You don't need him.
