Marriage and Love: Who? Where?

Who? Where?

By happybirthday - 06/03/2010 19:42 - United States

Today, my husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings for my birthday, to match the necklace he'd spent months searching for online the previous year. What necklace? He gave me a watch he found at Walmart last year. I wonder who the lucky girl with the necklace is. 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, 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, I got a gift from my wife. It was a beautiful watch. The same exact watch I'd sold to our local jewelers for 6k. She bought it for 10k. When I told her, she said, "Hmmm, I thought it looked familiar." There goes 4K from our joint account. I could’ve thought of 4000 ways to spend that money. FML

Today, my husband told me he was going to search from store to store in order to find my birthday gift. What was he really doing? His girlfriend. FML

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, 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, I gave my wife a $900 necklace as a special Christmas gift. She gave me a set of Star Wars pajamas. As it turns out, I was more excited to wear my gift than she was to wear hers. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me that the necklace I gave her wasn't a "unique enough gift." I spent two weeks making that necklace, link by link. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a pair of gloves for my birthday even though he had promised to get me earrings to match my necklace. Funny, he had this terrified look on his face and kept looking for something else in the box but he wouldn't say why. FML

Uhm who cares if he got her something. Her husband buying another girl a necklace is what matters here.

For those who don't understand this FML: the husband most likely told her about the necklace since she didn't know about it until she received the earrings. Also, he bought the necklace a year ago so it's unlikely she searched for it online. Nobody gets a gift then goes "Oh better look at the browsing history from a year ago in case he also bought a necklace to match!"

I'm going to assume that your husband is an idiot...because if you didn't get the necklace last year, and he's telling you that he got you the earrings because they matched the necklace...chances are that he forgot who he gave the necklace to. Not quite sure if that's logical, considering that I had to reread this FML 25 times.

Maybe your husband may have not been able to find it. And why do we think it's for another woman? Maybe he searched everywhere for it, and didn't find it in time, so he didn't give it to you, planning to give it to you later. And forgot. Or something.

Wow, most of you are thick. The majority of FMLs are fake, but without taking that into retrospect, here's how I see it: 1. He claimed to have bought an expensive necklace last year. 2. He actually gave it to someone else (mistress or other) 3. He forgot he gave it to someone else, and gave her the earrings 4. He told her the earrings were to match the necklace 5. She's pissed because he bought her a watch last year, not a necklace, not because the watch was cheap 6. She thinks he cheated on her 7. He may or may not have cheated, but if he did, he foiled his affair I'm sure she could have worded it better if FML allowed more than 300 characters, but life's shite.
