That's a lot

Today, i purchased myself 150$ Egyptian cotton 800-thread count sheets for my birthday, which came with matching pillow cases and everything. My girlfriend decided to wear a bleach face cream and ruined the entire set, and then followed it up with using part of my savings to buy herself a cabin vacation. FML

Today, my fiancée bought me a luxury getaway to the Maldives, complete with a five-star hotel and first-class plane tickets. Too bad she used my credit card, with all the money I was saving for our wedding. 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, I was sleeping with my girlfriend on my parents' bed naked, just to wake up to find out she got her period, on fresh, new sheets they bought the other day. As I finished scrubbing it and cleaning, she accidentally left a burning cigarette on the sheets so now it has a burn hole too. 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 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, I Febrezed my one remaining suit because I haven’t had a chance to go to the dry cleaners yet. I Febrezed it over the bed, so some got on the sheets. My girlfriend then got home and hit me in the head with a vase, because she thought the Febreze on the sheets was another woman’s perfume. FML

Today, my wife spent a ton of money she took from me for a very expensive lingerie because, "it makes her feel more feminine and beautiful." Again. All this stuff just gathers dust in her drawers, and she keeps wearing the same ugly raggedy underwear for 3-4 days in a row, which is actually disgusting. 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

Does she usually show this little respect for your possessions and feelings or what? Maybe it’s just me, but if I ruined somebody’s $20 bedsheet set I would be paying that back first thing. I would feel absolutely mortified if I ended up ruining a $150 set my boyfriend just bought.

While I don’t quite see how girlfriend managed to use your savings to buy a vacation without your permission, I do sympathize on the sheets. My wife also sometimes uses an oxy type cleanser or cream and it has damaged the colors on our pillowcases and towels… Most of us guys are fortunate that we don’t have to use makeup and related products, but for most women it’s part of life. My wife bought replacements for the pillowcases. They don’t really match, but then she is the woman I choose to sleep with and compromise is inevitable. I would suggest that you suggest to your girlfriend that she do a good job of washing and rinsing her face before coming to bed.

She can put down an old towel on her pillow. That was the only way to save my bedding when using a prescription cream that bleached everything it touched, even after thorough washing (some absorbs into the skin and comes out at night through perspiration).

You're too poor for such opulent luxuries. If those were in your budget, you wouldn't fly off the handle when they got damaged. How did she "ruin" more than a pillowcase with her face cream?
