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.

Oh my God. you are both stupid. OP bc you think you need worthless "stuff" when what's more important is enjoying one another's company. him bc he is completely melodramatic and has no balls. MEN do not act that way. WOMEN who give a shit about their relationships don't care about material items. my husband and I have been together 5 years and still do not get all worked up over anniversaries. a simple I love you and recognition of the special date is special enough.

If there's one thing I love about FML comments pages (because god knows there's not much) it's how much people boast about their own relationships and how much better than the OP's they are. And quite often they pull 'rank' on how much longer their relationship has lasted. No offense to the poster I replied to, I'm sure you have an awesome relationship, it's just something I've noticed.

Clearly you are in high school if you believe six months is a notable occasion, and if your boyfriend punches himself in the face out of frustration (LOL, by the way). Your life only sucks because you are still in that time when stuff like this is taken seriously.

dude, why are you such a bitch? figure out what's wrong and help him through it! then in another 6 months you can have your anniversary.

It's not really an anniversary. It's just something people get excited about because it's looked at it as "Wow, another month." =) My boyfriend and I never call it an anniversary, we say it's our so and so months today or whatever and we just go out for dinner. That's about it though.

Dump him! Dump him NOW!!! I wasted two and a half years on some loser just like this. Trust me...it gets no better. Just dump him now.

Wow. I hope you are a teenager. You should be embarrassed! Expecting gifts and dinner for six months? I agree with a previous comment. F your boyfriend's life.

Wow, how incredibly selfish of you. He is clearly very upset and you are too worried about some stupid non-anniversary to care? Jesus, I hope he can find someone better who actually cares about him.

You really should break up with him. I've had a hard life too, but don't go around punching myself in the face. If you really love him you should try talking out your problems. But, if this is a common thing it would probably be better to distance yourself.

The 6 month "anniversary" thing is stupid. However, your boyfriend sounds completely unhinged. Even if you are his girlfriend, you're not required to be his emotional crutch while he throws a scene and self harms in front of you.
