Today, my girlfriend of 10 months moved to Europe and we may never see each other again, so I gave her a $200 sterling silver heart necklace as a goodbye present. She gave me a pack of gum. Cinnamon, which I'm allergic to. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, my girlfriend and I decided to exchange presents for our birthdays. I spent $100 on perfume and Victoria's Secret clothes. She bought me a bag of lifesavers, then asked me to leave because she wanted to take a nap. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me she wanted to take a break. At least she gave me a parting gift. Lice. 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, I gave a girl I like a $200 diamond necklace to express how much she means to me. She gave me a hug and told me she didn't want to lose me as a friend. Nor did she want to lose her new necklace. Today, I got a $200 hug. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 8 months and I broke up. We decided to give back everything we ever bought for each other. I gave her the stuff she bought me and when I asked for my stuff she said she'd sold it and spent the money on herself. FML
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
Today, this girl I've been talking to texted me, saying she was going to visit. Trying to be sweet, I bought her $50 worth of chocolate and a cute card. Turns out she meant to send that text to her ex. Seems like the only thing I'll get from this relationship is diabetes. FML
Today, I lit candles and scattered rose petals on the floor and on the furniture to surprise my girlfriend. When she came in, she sneezed uncontrollably because apparently she’s extremely allergic to these particular roses. The night ended with me driving her to the ER instead of dinner. FML
Today, I found out that my ex gifted a special handcrafted necklace I made for him to his new girlfriend. She wears it on all her socials. FML
Today, my girlfriend broke up with me. She came over to see me one last time. We hugged for minutes and cried; it was a touching moment. Just after she left, I realized my wallet that I had on the table beside us was gone. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You throw a necklace at her when she's leaving and you'll never see her again? What did you expect? She probally saw this as an opportunity for tge both of you to move on in life, and didn't expect a $200 necklace. I wouldn't.

Apparently not much of a loss there.

sounds like she probably didn't know that she was supposed to bring a gift. it's the thought that counts man, and maybe she didn't know you were allergic or she forgot you were.

She was a foreign exchange student. This must be tough. i dated an exchange student and when she left we exchanged gifts we made for each other. I made a photo album and pictures and she made me cute letters and pics.

I'm sorry but STERLING silver? If you liked her as much as you're portraying, you would have dug deeper and bought her a necklace made with much higher quality material. But in turn, I hope it turns her neck green for giving you that silly pack of gum.

I'm with you 38. no offence but sterling silver is rubbish and op just paid 200 (I'm guessing usd) for it. for that price you could get nice 18k white gold. op, you got suckered for your money in more ways than one. and a trinket will never be enough to stop someone you love from leaving.

there seem to be a lot of the "i did something really great, and the other person gave something shitty back in return (and i was possibly allergic to it)" fmls. maybe that's just me... still sucks for you though....
