Today, I went into hysterics and started crying when my boyfriend pulled out a Tiffany's box at dinner. Then I found out he'd used the old box to make the $15 earrings he bought seem more "special." FML

I'm sorry your boyfriend fulled a romantic gesture and you're being a bitch crying about it on FML, OP.

Does price really matter?? At least he got you something

Instead of being happy, that your boyfriend gave you something out of a romantic gesture, you're bitching about it because you were expecting something else? How ungrateful.

This is a sad case of boyfriend idioitism, a not so rare disease in which men who mean quite well end up fcuking things up quite badly. :( i have been there before OP and feel for you- one day you'r Tiffany's will come!

At least he bought you something OP, so it wasn't a wedding ring this time, a gift is still a gift.

Started crying? Really? Really? Yeah, YDI

Some people have extreme disappointment, its not fair he tricked her, but its nice he got her something, just he should have given them to you normally instead of taking the time for a tiffanys box.

Some girls dream of perfect movie proposals. They dream of having their prince charming whip out a box and getting on one knee. That's what they crave for looooong periods of their lives. OP could be one of those girls which would explain the crying and hysteria. OP wanted to get married. Her boyfriend decieved her, although it was a very kind gesture. Who knows how long she's wanted him to propose?

Whiny bitch. He got you a present! I wouldn't care where they were from -_- I barely GET presents because I'm in a LDR and my bf has to mail things internationally :c

Men don't think like women do. He has no idea about Tiffany boxes and engagement rings. His frame of reference is more of the video game variety. I wouldn't take it personally, he meant well and now he knows that if he does ask you to marry him, you will (most likely) say "yes." That in itself is the fear most men have about engagement rings, that you will laugh your ass off and say "Not to you - LOSER!" when you get one. Lighten up, Frances...

Unless it's not in a Tiffany's box that time. Lol

You're being a bitch. Your boyfriend made a good effort to get you something nice, and all you care about is that it's not nice enough. Guys aren't made out of money! What?! Would you be happy if he spent $100? Oh, you poor selfish girl.
