Money: Today, I asked my girlfriend about a diamond necklace I bought...

By I_Lossed - 03/11/2009 11:02 - Australia

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 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 was on Craigslist looking for a new guitar. I found the diamond earrings and necklace set I gave to my girlfriend last year. She wants 50 bucks for them. 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

It's the thought that counts, or something

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, 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, 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, my boyfriend proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML

Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over 2 hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML

Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML

So go to the pawn shop, get it back & give it to someone who cares enough to keep it.

Run. My first wife pulled something like this just before she got pregnant (on purpose). I went into the marriage with no debt and money in the back and filed a joint bankrupcy for $200,000 about two years later. It is obvious she cannot handle her business and $1500 is a small price to pay to find this out.

My ex-girlfriend cheated on me and I'm here to get revenge with a little blackmail. http://ihatejade.com/?id=wlmmn1e0vv4yi2sr1fl1aov6g6uzt3

Youll never meet a bish willing to spend 1500 on a gift for you, so dont think you need to spend it on her. Dump the bish.

You DO NOT give a girl something worth that much unless you're gonna marry her! And seeing as how casual she was about selling it, she doesn't really care about you. (Sorry man..) Tell her to march her lazy ungrateful ass down and either get the necklace back, or give you $1,500. Then dump her stupid ass.

I live in the same state as OP and wow, that must have been a beautiful necklace. Go hunt it back down, dangle it infront of her saying "this could have been yours" and then dump her. She doesn't deserve you. If my boyfriend gave me something like that i could be over the moon, its like 2 weeks of his pay, which is alot. If i had needed money for a phone bill i would of just let him know, not pawn off a present he had put time and effort into saving and then choosing it =(

Is it just me or am I the only one that thinks he should have paid her PHONE BILL INSTEAD! Why are you gonna spend that much on a girl that can't afford her own phone bill? And why is it so high? Was she two months behind? If so, you fail. Pay her bill next time.

A relationship with someone with that little financial sense will not last long.

Which is precisely the reason why you are NEVER supposed to give nice things to stupid *****. To a woman like that, you give a plastic trinket, never something real. Would you put a collar full of diamonds on a dog you find on the side of the road?
