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

Today, my girlfriend decided to treat me out to dinner and cake for my birthday. My mom felt left out and yelled at my girlfriend in an angry tirade. My girlfriend went home. I'm spending my birthday, alone in my room. FML

Today, I gave my boyfriend the silent treatment. He put his Facebook status as "When your girlfriend finally shuts up for once". FML

Today, my girlfriend chose the most expensive restaurant in town, then spent the entire time facebooking, texting, and playing games on her phone while I dined in silence. This is the second time we've been out this week. She didn't even eat her food. I didn't even get a thank you. FML

Today, I thought it would be nice to take my girlfriend out to a nice restaurant for my birthday. She got a little headache after we ordered, so she went outside to get some air. I ate a $100 meal and had Happy Birthday sang to me by the restaurant staff. Alone. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My wife took me to my favorite restaurant for dinner. She made me pay for my birthday dinner, along with hers. She also got me a gift card to HER favorite store. FML

Today, my girlfriend is locked in the bathroom crying because I didn't buy her anything for Valentine's Day, even though Friday, at her suggestion, we agreed not to exchange gifts because both of our birthdays are a week away. 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, my best friend is giving me the silent treatment and has blocked me on Facebook. All because I missed her 30th birthday dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. I’d gotten into a car accident earlier and had to be treated for minor injuries in the ER. FML

Today, my boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. FML

#66: Pray tell, how exactly does OP deserve it? His girlfriend was being selfish and obnoxious. Just because it's her birthday doesn't mean that anyone has to prostrate themselves at her feet. OP was being romantic and kind, and made the day about her as much as he could.

Your sweet girlfriend of yours just wanted to show whom ever that your not a total jerk on face book! So go and say happy birthday to her on her Facebook ! End of story ! Girls can be bratty most of the time. it's all about the thought that counts. It's like getting a present for your birthday without the card! Really just think about it.

This is the dumbest argument I've ever heard. The guy I'm seeing and I don't say two words to each other on Facebook. Why? Because we say it all in person, on the phone, etc.. The only reason I can think OP would have expected a post on her Facebook was so that others could see it. I'm sorry, but if you need public awareness of your relationship to validate it, you're missing the point. And, frankly, it's just pathetic. Facebook isn't the real world. It's a website.
