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

Today, my boyfriend went into great detail over the Tiffany's jewelry he painstakingly selected for his previous girlfriends on their birthday. I got hand towels. In powder blue. From Target. FML

Today, I went to Tiffany's to exchange a bracelet my boyfriend had given me for our year anniversary. It was the first gift that he actually spent money on me for. The sales lady then told me that the bracelet was not a real Tiffany's item. FML

Today, I opened some small cute birthday gifts at my boyfriend's house. As we left to go out, he slipped me a Tiffany box and said he wanted me to open it in private. Flushed and excited, I open it to find a ziploc filled with hair. It was his mustache I had been begging him to shave for months. 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, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with a ring from Kay Jewelers. She saw the box, started giggling, whispered, "'Kay", and then started laughing so hard at her joke she had to excuse herself. FML

Today, my boyfriend bought me a beautiful pair of very expensive diamond earrings, along with a card that read, "To my beautiful brown eyed Princess." My ears aren't pierced, and my eyes are green. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML

Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML

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

Serves you right for being such a gold digger.

YDI for giving a shit if the earrings are from Tiffany's or a thrift store. Why does jewellery have to be expensive? All of my necklaces were dirt cheap but I love them AND I get complimented on them :)

The people saying "be thankful he got you something" must hail from a planet filled with rock-bottom standards. Now, I don't think expensive jewelry is a big deal. At the same time, if I ever found myself squealing with joy over the presentation of, say, a 25 cent trinket out of a turn-crank dispenser, I'd take a good long look at why I'm so satisfied with a guy whose generosity matches my evidently depleted self-esteem level.

If you weren't a shitty girlfriend you wouldn't have posted the price on your fml.

Never assume. I won't go through the details of why.

He still got you a gift stop being a bitch about it just because they're not really expensive ... I hate how most women these days were raised to believe that everything is material possessions and that's what's important

Way to be grateful OP. A gift that has meaning behind it is so much better, especially to the giver. I hope your boyfriend gets on FML and sees for himself how shitty your attitude is.
