Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML

Today, I planned a surprise birthday party for my boyfriend. I invited all his friend and made all his favorite food. He was running very late, so I called to ask what was taking so long. His response? He said he was at his house, with the very friends I was standing next to. FML

Deception

Today, I threw an elaborate surprise birthday party for my boyfriend of four years. He thought we were going to a quiet dinner but when we arrived, thirty of his friends jumped out and surprised him. Instead of kissing me to thank me, he broke up with me because of how easily I had lied to him. FML

Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. I was genuinely surprised—and also genuinely hungover from celebrating my birthday alone the night before because they'd all told me they were busy. FML

Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML

Today, one of my boyfriend's friends ranted on about how I am such a crappy girlfriend and how all of his friends don't like me. I just spent over $200 on a surprise party that I invited them all to last weekend. FML

WhatsApp drama

Today I found out my husband was throwing a 50th surprise party for me, and no one RSVP'd because of my best friend starting arguing with everyone in a group text. This was going to be the first big party or surprise party that I'd ever had. FML

Today, I had a surprise birthday party thrown in my honor. All of my friends and family had been invited, and all of the details were perfect. Who threw the party for me? My ex-girlfriend who I dumped last week for "not being thoughtful enough." FML

It's the thought that counts

Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. The problem? My birthday is tomorrow. I spent the entire evening pretending I was surprised and happy, all while knowing they got the date wrong. FML

Quality over quantity! Your boyfriend obviously cares a lot about you, and I'm sure it was a lovely, intimate birthday

My girlfriend doesn't have many friends either. =[ You two should be friends. Cause her birthday is in a couple months!

Don't feel bad about yourself. A lot of people tend to have one or two close friends and like it that way, including myself. It makes it hard in certain social situations when you're expected to have more (such as a surprise party or picking wedding attendants). There's nothing wrong with it; it's just the way we are.

I'm sorry OP. I feel the same way actually - my birthday is coming soon and my boyfriend won't be able to make it so I'll be spending it alone.

That's such a shame. Hope you had fun with your boyfriend though.

Sounds like you have a nice boyfriend. Hopefully he does think for a loser for having no friends. Mine doesn't know yet that I don't really have friends. Hang in there and good luck!
