Happy birthday, I suppose…

Today, I learned that the surprise party thrown for my girlfriend's 19th birthday was wonderful and she couldn't be happier. Except that I didn't show up. Apparently 40 people were invited but I wasn't one of them. We've been going out for three years. FML

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'd planned a surprise party for my best friend's birthday. However, she apparently found out about it and told me at the last minute she couldn't make it, probably to avoid being the center of attention. I'd already invited all of our mutual friends, so I had to awkwardly cancel the party. 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

Classic blunder

Today, I found out my best friend was having a birthday party and I wasn't invited, so I asked her why. She replied, "What birthday party?" It was a surprise birthday party. FML

Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML

Great party, eh?

Today, my girlfriend and I threw a housewarming party we'd been planning for almost 2 months. Out of the 30 plus people I invited from work, literally nobody showed up. Not going to lie, I'm a little depressed about it. It's going to be hard to go to work and pretend I'm not upset. FML

Today, I had a surprise birthday party thrown in my honor. All of my friends and family had been invited, and all of the details were perfect. Who threw the party for me? My ex-girlfriend who I dumped last week for "not being thoughtful enough." FML

Today I found out my husband was throwing a 50th surprise party for me, and no one RSVP'd because of my best friend starting arguing with everyone in a group text. This was going to be the first big party or surprise party that I'd ever had. FML

..Ouch. And she didn't invite you once the party started? She's as crappy as her friends, then.

#4, that was so stupid that I reported you for abuse. Abuse of the english language, of my intelligence, of the comment system...

That sucks, but I questioned why you wouldn't have had plans with her and her friends.. ? Maybe you should've talked to them about her birthday?

Wow, her friends are JERKS to have not included you in those plans! I mean, you should have been on board in the planning of this thing, never mind getting invited! Unless you've somehow alienated them all.

I had to delete my other comment cuz I read it wrong, so all I have to say is I like ice cream and a nice pair of slacks.

maybe it was like my last "surprise" party, and was an all girl thing?

To the above: So we have a disagreement. Nothing I'm going to lose sleep over. Also, other than the "epic fail" bit, I do not see how I abused the English language. To each their own.

You should go up to each of her friends and personally tell them that they're a ****. ...oh, and to have a nice day, and that you hope your girlfriend enjoyed the party.

Your gf's friends do suck. That's just rude. One of the least things they could have done for their friend was at least invite you! Sorry =/

Apparently, her friends do not like you. Do you usually hang out with her and her friends? If not, it might be understandable that you were not invited because they do not know/like you. But still... she told you about the party, but didn't ask why you weren't there or what you were doing instead?
