Today, my boyfriend bought me a silver necklace. I have a silver allergy, but I thanked him anyway and encouraged him to return it. I found out later that he knew about my allergy all along and bought it on purpose so he could return it, get a refund, and still look good. FML

It's this kind of gift where the thought does not count...

OP- To call your bf (should be your EX bf!!) a douche bag is an insult to douche bags!!.... He's a pud-weazel of the first degree!!

Okay, no need to jump the gun. He obviously cares about enough to try to impress her. He just went about it in a frugal and somewhat devious manner. Though trust can be lost, it can be regained. There is no reason to dump him over something so trivial as a ploy for affection.

While I agree with you it really depends to me on HOW allergic she is. Is it more of a rash type or where you can die? If it is the latter he should be dumped if not then I would say give him a break.

I just like the phrase "pud weasel" ... that made me Lmao.

#62, I also have a silver allergy, and if OP is anything like me, we're definitely not talking fatal. It is painful though, and not really attractive to have itchy burns all over your neck/chest.

That's his way of looking good? I'm confused.

Well, judging off of the information in the FML, OP's boyfriend got her a gift, which was a silver bracelet. But after OP found out he was aware of her allergy to silver, he just wanted to do it to seem like he was being kind and then took it back to get his money. So basically, he wanted to seem like a good thoughtful boyfriend but ended up being a smart jerk!

And if you did understand it in the first place, sorry for the break down. I tend to do that often...

Tell him no BJs until he proves his worth.

Trading BJ's for pricey gifts? That sounds like SUCH a healthy relationship!

Curses! I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids! The best-laid plans o' mice and men gang aft agley.

Have him replace it with one made of gold or platinum. If he doesn't, send him packing -- you don't need no scrub.

So what's his punishment?

FYL but you have to admit that was well played.
