and all the people who call you a bitch, they are stupid and have no life, if they had a bf/gf theyd be a little upset too, but since all they can do is be mean on fml they defiantly dont have a bf/gf

I don' know what you're smoking, but you need to revise your logic here. I totally agree that dating anniversaries shouldn't be celebrated with extravagance and expensive things. In all honesty, I don't think anyone from either side should feel entitled to expensive gifts just because they're with someone, but the OP's situation is just downright insulting. It would be one thing if he just couldn't afford anything or honestly did forget, or even wanted to pass it up, but he ruined SOMEONE ELSE'S garden and pulled something out of the trash in a half-ass effort to salvage an anniversary gift. What it would say to me, at least, is "here's some shitty thing I put together last second just to shut you up." That's disrespectful and the OP has every right to be angered.

She probably expected a timely gift like a book or a cd, maybe a nice dinner. I know I've asked for books off my Amazon wishlist from my bf for holidays, or inexpensive appliances for my apartment.

you're a moron and a ********. she expected him to put in some effort, she didn't expect some extravagant gift, just something not insulting! also, people do care about relationship anniversaries cos they're important too. what, you think couples who aren't married yet are irrelevant? are unworthy? don't deserve their partners to be romantic? wtf is wrong with you.
