Today, for our 2-year anniversary, I bought my girlfriend a beautiful $400 necklace. She bought me a pink $5 shirt of Elton John riding a piano through space. 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 gave a girl I like a $200 diamond necklace to express how much she means to me. She gave me a hug and told me she didn't want to lose me as a friend. Nor did she want to lose her new necklace. Today, I got a $200 hug. FML

Today, I gave my wife a $900 necklace as a special Christmas gift. She gave me a set of Star Wars pajamas. As it turns out, I was more excited to wear my gift than she was to wear hers. FML

Today, my husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings for my birthday, to match the necklace he'd spent months searching for online the previous year. What necklace? He gave me a watch he found at Walmart last year. I wonder who the lucky girl with the necklace is. 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, I took my girlfriend out for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant for our one year anniversary. After giving her some roses, freshly baked cookies, and a thoughtful poem I wrote for her, she started laughing and asked for her real gift. FML

Today, it was my girlfriend's birthday, so I decided to take her to a fancy restaurant and give her an expensive $400 necklace that I had bought. Being traditional, I asked the waiter to arrange it nicely on the tray when he came with our dessert. Neither he nor the necklace ever showed up. FML

Today, is my boyfriend and my 3 year anniversary. We decided to give each other something that we really needed. I bought him the $300 worth of books that he needed for college. He surprised me with a workout video and exercise equipment. FML

It's the thought that counts. Why do gifts have to always be expensive?

Okay, so you presumably aren't married yet (since you called her your gf), you decided to buy her this really expensive necklace without dropping a single hint, and you expected something equally impressive in return without indicating that you thought it was time for high-end gifts. Good work, dude. She probably felt awful and now feels even worse. Well, at least you got her expensive jewelry...

It's the thought that counts loser. Maybe she couldn't afford to get you something worth $400. What an asshole. You're lucky you can even find someone with an attitude like that. Think of the current economic climate! Be greatful you got anything you greedy jerk.

I'd rather have the shirt than the necklace, but maybe that's just me.

To the people saying "it's the thought that counts" or "just because its a $5 t-shirt doesn't mean it's worth less than a $400 necklace" the thought/ worth of the gift only counts if she bought the gift because she thought HE would like it. I think the point here is that he probably isn't a fan of Elton John, or the color pink... therefore making the present not that great of a gift. Should he be glad he got anything? Sure! Could he be saying FML because after 2 years his girlfriend doesn't know how to buy him gifts that he would actually appreciate/enjoy. Yes.
