Today, it's my birthday. I woke up to a text message from my boyfriend, breaking up with me. When I commented on his impeccably bad timing, he admitted he'd forgotten it was my birthday. FML

Today, it was my birthday. My boyfriend made me breakfast in bed, then we went out shopping, had a picnic, watched a good romcom, had a fancy dinner, and ended the day with great sex. And when the clock struck twelve, he dumped me. FML

Today, at exactly midnight, I get a text from my boyfriend saying we were done. I had just seen him 4 hours ago when we were out celebrating my birthday, and asked why he didnt just tell me then. He replies 'I couldn't break up with you on your birthday but i wanted it to be over ASAP' FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me the best birthday ever, then promptly broke up with me at midnight to get back with his ex, because he "didn't want to ruin my special day." FML

Today, I broke up with my boyfriend, since we weren't getting along. When I got home, I remembered that today is his birthday. Him and all our friends now think I'm a total bitch. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me two days before my birthday. Only to make it worse, I found out that he had been texting my mother on how to break up with me. To make it even worse, she was giving him tips. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me to stay home, because he wanted to come by to give me a birthday surprise. Later on, he came by, posted a note, rung the bell and left. The note was a break up note. FML

Today, it was my birthday. I spent all day in bed, sick with the flu. My boyfriend then broke up with me by text, because he didn't want to risk getting sick by doing it in person. FML

Today, my boyfriend of a year dumped me by text. It's also the day that the birthday present I ordered for him was finally processed and shipped, meaning I can't cancel and get my money back. FML

Take it as a blessing in disguise then. The fact he didn't even remember your birthday and broke up with you via text should tell you what a douche he is. Go out, enjoy your birthday and move on. Happy birthday

That's indeed a double whammy; celebrate your birthday AND freedom from a scumbag. Many happy returns of the day.

Consider that one very good birthday present. You're better off without him. You should be with someone who wants to be with you, reciprocates your feelings, and would NEVER forget your birthday. So even though it sucks now...you're better off. Happy Birthday! Make the best of it. Next year at this time, you could have everything you wish for when you blow out your candles today :).

This is in response to #22 in case FML screws up again. You are so right! I waited for Mz right, a very long time in fact. We found each other and have been together for almost 23 years now. OP, your "man" sounds like a major asshole. Kick his ass to the curb. Sounds like you found out in time to avoid the shit later. He'll cheat on you first chance he gets, IMMHO CRY FOR NOW, IT WORKS WONDERS. My cybershoulder is yours. As others have said, you'll find better.
