Love: Today, I received an email saying that the present I ordered...

Today, I received an email saying that the present I ordered for my girlfriend's birthday will be a week late, which makes it a week late for her birthday. I sat down and said we needed to talk, she burst into tears and apologised for 'sleeping with him,' I just wanted to tell her it would be late. FML

Today, after buying my girlfriend an expensive gift for her birthday, cooking her breakfast in bed, and treating her all day ending with dinner and cake at her parents, she burst into tears and said the whole day was ruined. Why? I forgot to buy her a birthday card. FML

Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. To celebrate, I spent the day with her and then took her out to a really nice dinner. She is currently giving me the silent treatment because I didn't write "Happy Birthday" on her Facebook wall. FML

STFU

By annoyedguy - 30/06/2009 11:20 - United States

Today, my girlfriend missed our date, so I angrily texted her, telling her if she can't make our dates then we should break up, and generally telling her off. Five minutes later I get a picture of her sleeping in a hospital bed from her mother, saying, "Shut the fuck up, she had appendicitis." FML

Today, I sent my girlfriend a long-overdue message telling her I feel like she doesn't really care about me any more, that it seems like she only ever calls me when she needs money, and that I'm even starting to suspect she may be cheating on me. 14 hours later, she replied: "TL;DR". FML

Huh. People are saying she feels guilty for it, but... there's a difference between feeling guilty about something enough to apologize of your own accord and swear it'll never happen again, and apologizing because the boyfriend is about to break up with her. Sorry because she slept with 'him' or sorry because (she thought) she got found out?

Couldn't you have started the conversation with "I'm sorry, but your gift is going to be late." instead of "we need to talk"?

ummm good thing OP started it this way if it means he found out he was dating someone who screwed some one else. But also with a lot of girls not getting their birthday presents on time means they're going to be incredible angry and this may have been the best way to have the conversation

Aww I'm sorry...that's always a good way to find out about stuff though. You can obviously find somebody better then her though. Hopefully a girl that won't go sleeping around.

#53 I think it's a good thing the truth came out no? Does it really matter how he put it?

At least she's sorry--she's clearly been feeling really guilty about it. Now the truth is out, and maybe you two can work it out and be happy together.

How incredibly sexist! If the man sleeps around, blame the man; if the woman sleeps around, blame the man. You should be equals in your relationship. Don't treat her like an idol; treat her like a partner you love and respect.
