Today, I threw a birthday party for my boyfriend. As a joke, my friend and I served him non-alcoholic beer to see how he'd react. After a while, he faked being drunk, using it as an excuse after I caught him making out with one of my so-called "friends". FML

Today, my boyfriend introduced me to his family. They were drinking and having fun, so I joined in. I had one too many, got really goofy, and then suggested the farting game. "Sorry, I can't hold my liquor!" I quickly explained. My boyfriend's mom shot me a cold look and said, "It's non-alcoholic." FML

Today, I held a house party. For fun, I made sure all the beer was alcohol-free, so I could see which of my friends would be weak-minded enough to end up acting drunk. Three did. I was one of them. FML

Deception

By Anonymous - 12/09/2009 16:21 - United States

Today, I threw an elaborate surprise birthday party for my boyfriend of four years. He thought we were going to a quiet dinner but when we arrived, thirty of his friends jumped out and surprised him. Instead of kissing me to thank me, he broke up with me because of how easily I had lied to him. 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

Today, it was my boyfriend's 24th birthday. His friends were throwing him a surprise party and I was in charge of getting his birthday cake. As a joke, I got it in the shape of a penis, with a graphic marzipan design. Funny, I never knew his overly-conservative parents were invited. FML

Today, it was my 21st birthday. I had a simple party with my boyfriend, with just a cake and a bottle of red wine. My boyfriend managed to get so drunk that he danced naked for 10 minutes, then told me I'm hideously obese but that he loves me anyway. FML

Whoops

Today, I planned a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend. I invited all his friend and made all his favorite food. He was running very late, so I called to ask what was taking so long. His response? He said he was at his house, with the very friends I was standing next to. FML

Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. I was genuinely surprised—and also genuinely hungover from celebrating my birthday alone the night before because they'd all told me they were busy. FML

Partied out

Today, it was my boyfriend's birthday. After spending a reasonable amount of cash to get us a nice hotel room to celebrate, he decides he would rather spend the night drinking with his friends. They all threw up in the bath tub before passing out on our bed. FML

Today, we were celebrating my birthday and my boyfriend thought it would be funny to shove my face in the cake. While the candles were still lit. FML

It sucks that the joke back-fired. Drop them both.

I would of loved to see his face when he finds out its non alcoholic!! >:] Dump that ass hat. If he does that when you're there and he's not even drunk, imagine what he does when you're not there or he actually is drunk. Ditch the "friend" too.

Not making excuses but non alcoholic beer has alcohol in it. Very low amounts but if he drank enough he could've gotten drunk.

Some non-alcoholic beer does have a small amount of alcohol in in (I.e. Guinness has a non alcohol beer that still has .05% alcohol) so perhaps your boyfriend is just a total lush. Or he could just be a typical asshole guy. Either one

Only YDI because it could have had a placebo effect on him, thus making him truly believe he was drunk. I mean, if he's doing that drunk or not they're both terrible for you, but still.

They obviously deserve one another! As for you, keep your head up; stay open and available for someone authentic who's worthy of you. Regarding your 'friend', as a final favour to her, remind her, "if they'll do it with you, they'll do it to you".

Well the brain is still going to act the same way if it was real or not. Because you made him think his way into being drunk. You can think yourself into pretty much anything.
