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

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

YDI for expecting something ....Christmas is for giving not expecting expensive presents hope she makes you keep it and you can't return it

First of all, the point of Christmas is not to buy expensive gifts in hopes of receiving expensive gifts in return. Money is tight for almost everyone, and you are certainly not the only person in her life. If you can't give something for the sheer enjoyment of watching someone else enjoy it, you shouldn't spend $700 on any one person. You should have discussed it and set a spending cap if you're really worried about what you're going to get. As it is, it's a Christmas GIFT. Giving is supposed to be a selfless act. She shouldn't automatically be expected to get you something expensive.

All these "GIVE JUST TO GIVE" saints are getting REALLY annoying. Why should she even deserve a present when she's not even going to make the effort to make her boyfriend happy?

#112 I basically said "give just to give", but I don't necessarily think that OP's girlfriend deserves a present. I think OP is being equally selfish, though, but giving such a hefty gift. It will likely only make someone feel guilty to be given something that extravagant. I'd feel obligated to buy something for him that was just as expensive.

kk first maybe the girl doesn't have as much money as u n it's not okay to get someone a present with the intention of getting something in return. on the other hand, I agree that the way she answered was completely disrespectful. it happened to me once when I asked my ex bf what he wanted for his bday. "don't get me anything bcuz I'm no giving u gifts for ur bday!" he was so rude and I felt kind of stupid since I already got him a watch. don't return it tho. she's the one who's gonna feel stupid for acting like a b** in the end ;)

You're a douche for expecting Christmas gifts. You spend a useless amount of money on a single gift, so you suddenly expect her to pull $700 for you out her ass? Having said that, i don't have much money but bothered to make my bf a really cheap gift and card.. so maybe she should make some effort.

Sheesh, it sounds like this is their first Christmas together - seeing as he had no idea about her gift buying budget, and he spends $700??? This isn't an FML. It's NOVEMBER and she's letting him know well in advance that her budget is different to his, it's not as though she asked him to spend $700 on a bracelet, she doesn't even know he did. Some people are so demanding around Christmas. It's awful.
