Today, my boyfriend gave me a $100 gift card for Victoria's Secret. Suspicious, I checked the receipt he'd left in the bag. Turns out he had bought it during the 2 weeks we were broken up for some other girl who rejected him, so decided to give it to me instead. FML

What a jerk! Buy like the sexiest lingerie they have and show him. Then say 'too bad you'll never see me wearing them ;D' then kick to the curb :3

Dress up in it, show him, then ask if you look okay because you want to impress your new boyfriend.

Buy the skimpiest lingerie you can find...and make him dress up in it:D

Im really disgusted by a lot of the female replies on here. First off, OP, that's what you get for being suspicious and nosey. Why can't your boyfriend give you a gift without there being some sort of problem with it? If you're willing to work things out with him, than some trust needs to be established. Do you know for a fact that the gift card was bought for another girl? Or, are you just jumping to conclusion? And ladies, just because something happens in your relationship, doesn't mean you should find a new guy. No wonder men think we're all crazy.

Okay, first off: you are jumping to conclusions yourself. How do you know if OP just assumed he bought the giftcard for another woman? Maybe she confronted her boyfriend and he fessed up and told her what happened. So shut the **** up and look at your options. Second, their relationship was obviously rocky, and they had broken up before, so of COURSE she is going to have a little doubt. Sure, they probably shouldn't be together if they've already been separated before, but who doesn't break up and go back to their ex from time to time? Don't tell me you're a poster-perfect child. Thirdly, if she was so surprised about the giftcard, either her boyfriend never buys her things and of course she would be skeptical, or he always buys her things, when there are issues. Seriously, lay your options out on the table instead of just blurting out random shit out your ass.

Damn sweetheart, you mad? Funny...something I said must have hit home with you to get all bent over a little FML comment, you ignorant fool. If you would read, I never stated that OP jumped to conclusions, I ASKED if she knew whether or not what she stated was true. Second off, I said trust needs to be ESTABLISHED, not that she needs to have it right off the bat. If your willing to work something out with someone, than you should be willing to change as well. And, no one is perfect nor did I ever say I was, so **** off k? And lastly, for someone claiming I was jumping to conclusions you sure had many assumptions in your own comment. To name just a small few, you assumed that OP never got gifts from her boyfriend. Where in the FML did it say that? Also, you suggested that maybe OPs boyfriend buys her gifts when things are going wrong. I never saw that in the FML either. You assume EVERYONE goes back to their ex, and while that may be true for some it's not true for others. Could what all you have said been true? Sure. Then again, your assumptions can be all wrong. In your own words, "Shut the **** up and look at your options."

I'm still failing to see how this is an fml. Ok, so if we take at face value that he got this 100$ card for some other girl and u just happen to figure this all out from a receipt: u still scored a free 100$ gift card to the best/most expensive underwear store ever, and whilst it won't get u more than say a pair of bras or so u still made out on top...

Show him what you bought, then ask him if u look sexy, and when he undoubtedly says yes, dump his ass for your new boyfriend. ;)

It was while you were broken up and you get a gift card. I don't see the problem.

I can sympathize with the poster though- you'd feel second best considering that he bought it for a girl he'd only known for a couple of weeks

So? You know about the othe girl-and you took him back anyway. If you are angry YDI for taking him back.

Maybe if you were more gracious and less of a snoop you would. Brake up less often! He should of got a refund!
