Today, it is my boyfriend's and my one year anniversary. I bought him a Playstation 2. As soon as I gave it to him, he went straight to set it up without giving me anything. I said "What about me?" He walked over to me, gave me a kiss and said "I love it when you buy me things for no reason." FML

Wow, not even a 'thankyou'. That's pretty bad.

My brother's girlfriend bought him a PS2 last year... because he wanted one. not everyone wants things that are the top of the range, he wanted to play the old games because he enjoyed them.

The OP is from Australia - PS3s in Australia (the new one anyway) is $500. Not exactly cheap.

Don't give gifts in hopes of getting. Give because you want to.

I am so sick of people saying that just because they aren't married, their anniversary is meaningless. I agree that the monthly celebration is stupid, because its a pretty trivial when you've been dating, oh, 3 months. But I don't see the harm in celebrating every year. You don't HAVE to be married to love each other, and just because someone IS married doesn't mean their love will last forever, or is stronger than an unmarried couple's. Why do you think there's such a high divorce rate? Because marriage isn't concrete. And as far as the ps2, yes, it's old but still has a lot of good games for it. In fact, its a very good gift for an anniversary, when most people get flowers and/or chocolates. So what if it didn't cost hundreds? You don't need a gift that drains someone's bank account. Its the thought that counts. God, people, stop being so ******* stuck up.

girls don't always remember dates. i often forgot my own birthday until someone wished me a happy one, and im a girl.

first, i'd like to say sorry you have an ass of a boyfriend. second, i'd like to say FYL for being horrible at english. if you want to post something up for the entire world to see, i suggest you have the decency to check you grammar before posting it. it should be "it is the first anniversary of my boyfriend and i. " honey, there ain't such a thing as my boyfriend and my -.-

I believe you mean: "It is the first anniversary of my boyfriend and me." Honey, there ain't such a thing as using "I" as an object.

*sighs* When using and, you always put yourself last and the person you're talking about first. OP Did this. Second, to figure out if the sentence makes sense, you remove the "and" and make two separate sentences. If the sentence made grammatical sense by itself, then it can be put together. >> "Today, it is my boyfriend's and my one year anniversary." becomes >> "Today, it is my one year anniversary" and "Today, it is my boyfriend's one year anniversary" Your sentence would be >> "It is the first anniversary of my boyfriend and me." becomes >> "It is the first anniversary of my boyfriend" and "It is the first anniversary of me" And myaccount11's sentence would be... >> "it is the first anniversary of my boyfriend and i. " becomes >> "it is the first anniversary of my boyfriend" and "it is the first anniversary of i" The op is correct and both of you are dumb. Also, ain't is not a word. Isn't, is. Ain't is a colloquialism and makes you sound dumb. Lastly, myaccount11, don't correct someone's grammar if you don't know how to capitalize letters at the beginning of your sentences...

#156, you are a failure. I'm sorry, but little grammar tricks do NOT replace actual knowledge. Firstly, putting yourself last in a list of subjects or objects is not a grammar rule; it's only to be polite or respectful. Secondly, I did not say OP's grammar was incorrect, because it is in fact right. I was only correcting myaccount11's proposed grammar change, which in turn was very wrong. Furthermore, my use of "ain't" was purely for mocking myaccount11. Now, for your very thoughtful breakdown of our sentences, you've given what they would look like if separated but have not even ATTEMPTED to prove any perceived incorrectness. "It is the first anniversary of me" sounds awkward at best and awful at worst (and nobody in one's right mind would actually express it like that), but is technically right. "I" is a subject, "me" is the form used for direct and indirect objects, and "myself" is used as an object only for sentences in which the first person is both subject and object. I'm not sure I can trust you to figure out how this information applies, so I'll let you know: in a sentence like "the anniversary of [the first person]", the first person is the object. That's when one uses the form "me". I'm not going to call you retarded like I normally would to someone who fails at correcting grammar (I'm looking in myaccount11's direction...), because you seem to have at least an average understanding of it, but you are FAR from qualified to be correcting anyone until you make damn sure you know what you're talking about. You make yourself sound very hypocritical when calling others "dumb" in such a situation.

#165: While I agree that your correction did make a change to something grammatically correct and don't think you should have been so rudely attacked for your post, I don't think #156 was arguing about "me" being the wrong object or whatever. I think that person just assumed that you would realize that the actual phrase "the anniversary of me" doesn't really mean anything, unless you're talking about a birthday... in which case, regardless of your grammar, the sentence doesn't make much sense.

YDI for expecting a guy to remember an anniversary

anniversary of when you started dating? I'm a girl and I think it's stupid. don't you know that guys think such things as "anniversaries", if it's not a wedding anniversary, are silly?

YDI for giving a ps2 and being so cheap...You are lucky he gave you a kiss, he should have dumped your ass, welcome to 8 years ago

WTF is the big deal on whether or not its a ps2 or ps3? Its just a ******* video game system and its not cheap it depends on budget. PS3 is like 300 dollars and thats expensive. MAybe the girl knew her boyfriend wanted a ps2 and thats why she got it. Personally, I wouldnt give a shit about whether i recieved a ps2 or 3. If someone got me a ps2 i would say thank you and enjoy it. You guys are all ******* losers for arguing about the matter. And FYI nypd613 my exboyfriend would always remember important dates and anniversaries. So **** you, **** all of you!
