Today, after buying my girlfriend a $700 bracelet for Christmas, I hinted that I wanted a pair of Oakleys. She told me I shouldn't get her anything and that I should expect even less. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 girlfriend came home and announced that she'd just bought a $40 pair of flipflops. She then declared that I wouldn't be getting a birthday gift this year due to budget shortfalls. For hers a month prior, I'd got her a $300 piece of jewelry. FML
Today, because it was our first Christmas as a couple, I was careful to get my girlfriend what I considered to be a very thoughtful gift. She opened it, took one look at it, made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy, and told me that in future it would be better if I just gave her money so she could buy her own presents. FML
Today, I had a very long, complicated talk with my girlfriend. Apparently, since she isn't religious, she doesn't have to give anyone Christmas presents, and yet expects everyone to give her some. She then told me what I should get her. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend about a diamond necklace I bought her for her birthday, which she didn't seem to be wearing. She then told me she hocked it to pay for her inexpensive phone bill. I paid $1,500 for that necklace, she received $300 from the pawn shop. 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, I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years. She bitched me out for not getting the ring she had been "hinting" me to get, and angrily left. FML
Today, I received a pair of earrings, a necklace, and some rings as a Christmas gift from my grandma. This would have been nice if I weren't a guy. This is her way of mocking me for wearing what she calls "girl colors", such as white. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes, but the ring turned out to be quite tight on her finger. She then chewed me out, saying that I can't do anything right, then changed her answer to no. FML

hahaha! You deserve it for thinking she is obliged to get you an expensive present just because you got her an expensive one.

Christmas is about giving, not getting. Try not to be selfish.

Return the bracelet and get TWO pair of Oakleys -- one for you, and one for the new girl who gets as much of a boner for crass materialism as you do.

Personally, I'd really like to meet OP so I can kick him in the ****** for being the materialistic asshole that he is. Yes I said ******.

uh you deserve it. at least she's being honest . maybe she can't afford presents. it's about giving, not expecting something in return. if you can fork out that much money, I'm sure you can buy yourself a pair of shades.

Geez, $700? I'd be afraid to take the jewelry out of its box. Maybe your motives were pure, but I'd have a hard time accepting something like that from a bf without thinking there are strings attached.

How so Jane? New girlfriends typically (in my experience) go overboard with cutesy presents, so based on her response, and the fact that the present sounded reasonable to OP, I'd expect they've been together for a long while. If that was the case, what possible strings could there be?

How about a $700 jewel encrusted yo-yo? That should alleviate your concerns.

All these boyfriend/girlfriend + christmas FML have one spending a lot of money on the other and then the other not wanting to exchange gifts or getting a gift of a lesser value, like it's the value that matters.. But then they do always feel the need to publish the amount they spent so I guess value is more important to them...

700 bucks seems a little high priced for a gf
