Today, it was my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. We had dinner reservations to an expensive restaurant and planned to see a movie after. At least, we did, until he called to tell me he'd volunteered to work tonight. He won't get off until 2am. FML

Take another guy to the expensive restaurant and you'll get off way before 2 am. Several times, if you are lucky! ;)

It's easy to say, "Oh, stop whining, you're being selfish" but the reality is, I would be at least a little upset, especially because it appears that thought and planning went into the evening. However, the good thing is that the boyfriend is someone that cares about his job, and he can recognize that sometimes professional relationships have to override personal ones in order to keep your job/get ahead/etc., especially with the way things are right now.

aw yeah I agree sometimes you gotta work, but he shouldn't have done that on your anniversary. I mean if he didn't have the money those arrangements shouldn't have been made. sorry op :(

Something tells me ya'll actually ended up having an even better night than planned. I can easily imagine that your bf didn't actually volunteer for work....

it be ok if he had to work.. but he volunteered. that sucks. id be heated. some guys dont care bout that stuff or there just forgetful.

It will be 6 years as of June 27th me and my fiance have been together. I don't expect us to both be off from work. It will be celebrated though. It's not a big ******* deal. Get over it.

He was off from work. And he agreed to go to dinner with her. And then he volunteered to work, despite having this date on. There is the FML. Can no-one on this comments page read, or are they just so desperate to throw abuse at the OPs of FMLs these days? This is the first time I've come on a comments page in ages, and jesus people are just rude to the OP for no reason...

Meh, same thing happened here to me tonite, minus the 1 year, add 3 years. I feel your "FML"

Do it another time. It's not the end of the world.

ok.. for all girls.. when your guys pulls something like this, don't get all pissy and have a fit.. act like you don't care........then later use it to your advantage.... next time you disagree on what to do.. of if you want to go out and he doesn't...then you hold this over his head... "I really want to go. And you owe me for our anniversary.. you cancelled on me and i didn't even get mad about it.. so now you should do this for me." .... and if you're really good at this, you will purposely make plans that you know he will have to break so that you have something extra to use against him when you need it.. duh.
