Today, for our anniversary, I sang my boyfriend a heartfelt, self-written song. The first thing he said when I finished was "Your fly is open." FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me if we were going to become "that stupid couple that sings cheesy songs to each other." I just spent the past 3 months writing the perfect song that I was planning on singing to him tonight. FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to write him a poem, as I am an avid writer. Happily, I agreed. After hours of working, I proudly presented it to him. He read it, laughed, and said, "No babe, I meant a real poem." Maybe I should rethink my career choice. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a really sweet poem that he wrote for me. I think it was secondhand - the first letter of each verse spelled his ex girlfriend's name. FML

Today, I wrote my boyfriend a love letter during class and told him to read it when he got home. He texted me later asking me why I gave him my school assignment. I must have handed the love letter in to my teacher. FML

Today, I spent hours delicately writing out what seemed to be a beautiful poem to my girlfriend. After I sent it to her, I kept eyeing my phone to see her surprised message. No, the only response I got was, "You may want to use a spellcheck." FML

Maybe writing poems to a grammar nazi wasn't the best idea

Be romantic with someone who can handle romance. He should've admired your effort. Plus poems don't always have to be grammatically correct.

My parents were married for ten years before my dad passed away, and my dad had the grammar of a middle school student even though he was 41. But every card, poem, random little love notes, and whatever he else he had written her she always kept because it was always something he did from his heart. Find someone who appreciates what you do right instead of what you do wrong. Hopefully he still had the decency to appreciate your gesture.

I couldn't agree more, education level doesn't always reflect how well someone can write or spell. It's the words that matter not if something is grammatically correct.

If it was a haiku he doesn't know his poetry

I am sadly one if these people but I don't do things like that. I correct people when they are speaking verbally.

If he's like most grammar nazis I've come across, being able to show his superior grasp of written language would give him more joy than any heart-felt profession of love ever could. Congratulate yourself on being such a good girlfriend.
