Today, my girlfriend came home and announced that she'd just bought a $40 pair of flipflops. She then declared that I wouldn't be getting a birthday gift this year due to budget shortfalls. For hers a month prior, I'd got her a $300 piece of jewelry. FML

Today, after buying my girlfriend a $700 bracelet for Christmas, I hinted that I wanted a pair of Oakleys. She told me I shouldn't get her anything and that I should expect even less. FML

Today, I bought my girlfriend a very expensive necklace. I gave it to her thinking she'd be extremely happy. Instead she was mad at me because my gift for our anniversary was better than hers. FML

Today, I asked my girlfriend about a diamond necklace I bought her for her birthday, which she didn't seem to be wearing. She then told me she hocked it to pay for her inexpensive phone bill. I paid $1,500 for that necklace, she received $300 from the pawn shop. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I decided to exchange presents for our birthdays. I spent $100 on perfume and Victoria's Secret clothes. She bought me a bag of lifesavers, then asked me to leave because she wanted to take a nap. FML

Today, my mother flipped out that I spent $20 on a gift for myself for my birthday. Instead of getting a gift for me, she spent $300 on a new vacuum cleaner, and claims that we didn't have enough left in our budget to spend on me. FML

Today, my girlfriend is locked in the bathroom crying because I didn't buy her anything for Valentine's Day, even though Friday, at her suggestion, we agreed not to exchange gifts because both of our birthdays are a week away. FML

Greed

Today, my husband told me he wants a $600 birthday gift. He doesn't understand why I said that wasn't happening, and is now mad at me. Not only can we not afford that, he only spent less than $10 on my birthday gift last month. FML

Today, because it was our first Christmas as a couple, I was careful to get my girlfriend what I considered to be a very thoughtful gift. She opened it, took one look at it, made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy, and told me that in future it would be better if I just gave her money so she could buy her own presents. FML

Today, after buying my girlfriend an expensive gift for her birthday, cooking her breakfast in bed, and treating her all day ending with dinner and cake at her parents, she burst into tears and said the whole day was ruined. Why? I forgot to buy her a birthday card. FML

$40 FLIP-FLOPS? I can understand heels, heck, even sneakers. But flip-flops? Wooow. FYL indeed.

Wow. My bf got me a Daniel's Jewelers Diamond heart pendant necklace for our anniversary, and a set of Four Harry Potter bookmarks for my birthday--which was a week from that day. What did I get him? I managed to get my bf an iTouch for our anniversary. My friend, you really have got a selfish girl right there -.-

Lol did your girlfriend actually say 'budget shortfalls'? What is she, some kind of business exec or something?

Okay, I'm saying this because I've seen it on here before. If the OP was a woman complaining about not getting a gift from her boyfriend, you'd all call her a materialistic, selfish bitch. But because the OP is a man, his girlfriend is still a bitch because she had the audacity to shell out a measly 40 bucks on herself for shoes, and not get him anything. This is why the guys who post on here will be alone forever. Kill yourselves.

40 dollars ain't that much, and you shouldn't expect a big gift for your birthday regardless of what you buy for her birthday. She should at least get you a card or something as a nice gesture.

As a woman, I'd make it up to my man by giving him the best sexual experience I could possibly give. Why? $300 peice of jewelry for my bday, and, since I had spent the money going towrds his bday present, he should get a treat. An awesome, breakfast in bed, sex anytime treat. Complete with sex coupons, redeemable aytime. No skimping on the anal either.
