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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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 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 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 bought my boyfriend a gold watch for our 2 year anniversary. He bought me a jar of Nutella. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend out for dinner to a fancy Italian restaurant for our one year anniversary. After giving her some roses, freshly baked cookies, and a thoughtful poem I wrote for her, she started laughing and asked for her real gift. FML
Today, it was my girlfriend's birthday, so I decided to take her to a fancy restaurant and give her an expensive $400 necklace that I had bought. Being traditional, I asked the waiter to arrange it nicely on the tray when he came with our dessert. Neither he nor the necklace ever showed up. FML
Today, I gave my girlfriend a new TV as a 10th anniversary present. She gave me a torch on a keyring. FML
Today, is my boyfriend and my 3 year anniversary. We decided to give each other something that we really needed. I bought him the $300 worth of books that he needed for college. He surprised me with a workout video and exercise equipment. FML

Quit bitching, if I had found a bangin' shirt like that, I would have kept it for myself and given the boyfriend nothing.

Yeah, that shirt sounds pretty awesome. Next gift-giving thing that's coming up, you should discuss what price range to shoot for beforehand. It helps cut down on this kind of thing.

your girlfriend sucks! wow same thing kinda happend to me but it was a birthday comparison and i spent a lot on my bf and he did the same for me on a bracelet, like a week later it broke and i asked him to fix it well we broke up and he never gave it back so he ends up with a bunch of stuff i gave him and i end up with the memory of a bracelet i had for a week. also the break up wasn't my idea. :( just make her feel like crap for her lame gift.

Damn the price tag if the necklace looked like crap would you buy it? no. Price doesn't measure the greatness of a gift! Plus that shirt ******* rocks

In her defense, was she aware that you were planning to spend that much money? It's not likely that you said anything about it. Furthermore, if you think you need to buy her an expensive gift to prove you love her, and that her inexpensive gift means she's not as into you as you are into her, then maybe you should consider why you feel so insecure in the relationship. In the future, when buying someone a present, do it without the expectation that they will get you one in return. The point of buying a present is to do something unselfish.

YDI for 1) buying too expensive stuff 2) hoping to get too expensive stuff. Come on, 400 dollar for a ******* necklace for just a two-year anniversary? Too much money, hmm? But hey, that's not of my business, (rich) people may buy expensive stuff, not a single problem with that. But only expecting to get something expensive? I mean, yes, you will be disappointed, but you make it seem like the only reason that you're disappointed is because you now feel you wasted the money. And that's so wrong. You don't buy love and you don't want that people buy your love.
