this.

Hopefully after telling him on the phone "Oh, the friends I'm here with? Well, since you're not here, I guess we'll all have a party without you, and hopefully it will be in my pants." >.>

He is cheating. If he suspected she was throwing him a surprise party he would know his friends would be there and not use them as a cover. Duh

I think a lot of people are assuming cheating since the boyfriend lied.

I said "probably cheating or something as bad since he felt the need to lie." I doubt it was just that he didn't want to party, or else it wouldn't have be an FML; he had to be doing SOMETHING bad.... unless she's just whining about the effort she went through to plan the party, but it doesn't sound like that to me.

@scince220 What I believe the OP meant is that boyfriend lied about being at home with his friends. The boyfriend did not know that the OP was with the boyfriend's friends at the birthday party. Therefore, the boyfriend lied to the OP about hanging out with his friends when he is probably with someone else that he doesn't want the OP to know about.

Not necessarily cheating (though he probably is, or at least doing something that he's trying to hide). It can't be that he's trying to 'hide' from his own party, or else he'd figure his friends would BE there and therefore not say that he was hanging out with them. ...unless he's a total moron. Which, considering the story, it sounds like he is.

He might not have been cheating. He could have been out at a bar, for instance. But who cares whether he was cheating or not. He lied to her. Why is he lying about where he is? If he's lying about that, what else is he lying about. I'm not going to go so far as to say he might as well be cheating, but lying by itself is pretty damn close.

-17- Me too lol. I thought maybe he was sitting right there and maybe they just didnt notice or something.... x3

Thank you, Fellow birthday party haters unite

WOOO I've been alive for ___ years, most of them aided by my parents or other people. Give me presents and spend all night with me!! Yeah I don't see it either. It's kind of selfish to want presents for your parents fornicating and your mom squeezing you out on a particular day, and then having you live for that long. And that's not sarcasm. I actually think it's retarded. I also realized this at a young age ... coupled with the fact that I never had time for a birthday party. The only "birthday party" I've had was my 19th, which was on a Monday, and it was me and a couple of friends going out and getting drunk. So it's very possible he just wanted to sit at home all night and not do anything. But you can't leave out the possibility of him cheating, but to do it on his birthday is tactless and seems a little too stupid to believe. He could've just not wanted to spend time with his smothering gf?

The same thing happened here. I had to read it a few times to get it.

i agree completely i had to read it a few times. i thought maybe he showed up and ignored her, which would still suck since she planned it for him. yikes OP fyl :[

That's what I thought at first too. Now I don't feel so stupid.

You guys are kidding, right? I thought it was quite clear that he wasn't there. "He was running very late, so I called to ask what was taking so long."

No, not kidding. You can call someone, and them be in the other room without you knowing it right? Well I thought the OP meant that she called, and he answered; stating that he had been there and she was unaware. This is completely possible, and just a mix up of the first time reading it.

Wtf? That doesn't even make sense. It was his birthday, not the OP's.

Yeah, and put it on"speaker" first.
