Today, it was our 6 month anniversary. My boyfriend didn’t get me a present or take me out to dinner. Instead he cried to me about how much he hates his life while he repeatedly punched himself in the face. Then he dropped me off to spend time with his mom. FML

michelleccali tells us more.

Ok, yes I am a teenager. The reason I was so upset over him not doing anything for our 6 months together was because he made sure I got him a present, and told me a bunch of times that he was planning something fun. So he got my hopes up for nothing. Then when I got sad about it, he got mad at me and pretty much ignored me.

How old are yu.? 12.? Get over it. get him some antidepression medication for your 6 month anniversary.

6 MONTH? ANNIVERSARY??? Are you dumb or what?

Two things are just silly with this post. Firstly it's silly to celebrate a 6 month anniversary. Secondly if it was so important to the girl then it's silly for her to just expect her boyfriend to do all the work and then when he doesn't whine about it instead of doing something herself. Why is it always the guy's job to make the anniversary plans? I'm a girl and I think that's dumb.

On the 18th of every month, I make a mental note of how many months it's been with my boyfriend and me, but that's just 'cause I'm obsessed with dates and know the birthdays of every single one of my facebook friends. And to whoever said 'now if it was the girl upset then she'd get called a whiny bitch', well I hate to say this 'cause it sounds awful, but it's true; women tend to get worked up over stupid stuff more often than men do. Not in all cases, just in many, many that I've experienced. So if a man's bawling, there better well be a reason for it. And it would be nice to get some girlfriend support if such a situation arose..

+1 for intelligence and having the same date (18th of every month in my case too) 6 months is not a year. STFU. If you want to use it as an excuse to go on a date, that's fine, but he is in no way obliged to do anything for you unless its an actual anniversary, and even then, he doesn't HAVE to do anything.

i agree #42, but i would be totally thrown off if he went to spend time with his mom though. not saying anything against his mom because who knows, maybe she is freaking awesome but i'm just saying that would be a little weird for me and i am the same way with dates of things, i'm happy to know i am not the only one. when guys that i date dont remember how long we have been together it doesn't bother me as much as when they don't remember some event that i feel is really important, how long we have been together can be celebrated every day subtly. also six months can mean a lot to some people. for me it would because thats half of a year, thats an accomplishment.

hooooly cow. get out NOW. i've been with one of these totally selfish, spoiled and depressed guys. i can guarantee it will end with him threatening to kill himself if you break up with him.

Selfish? Spoiled? Sounds like you're describing OP there for being a bitch about a six-month anniversary.

no. the ass hat boyfriend is selfish and depressed. punching yourself in the face instead of explaining whats wrong is just a way to get attention, and its not going to make anyone happier. 6 months is important for some people, maybe its her first relationship. whatever floats your boat.

He did tell her what was wrong. Read the post!

Your BF is having a tough time in his life and somehow you turn it around to make it about you : /

But it's HER sixth month anniversary! [/spoiltbitch]

I would agree that she is just being selfish when her man needs her if he were just telling her he was depressed. But the whole "punching himself in the face" things really negates the selfishness and makes me think she needs to dump crazy-boy before he starts punching her in the face.

You're dating Edward Norton from Fight Club? Nice! Seriously, though, as mentioned several times above, anniversaries are pointless and stupid. Basically just another excuse for women to get pissed off when you forget to buy them shit. But, in the OP's defense, this guy does sound more than a little messed up. Punching himself in the face? Really? I'd say dump this emo man-child before he does something even more erratic and dangerous.
