Today, I gave my wife of four years a special anniversary gift: a red rose dipped in liquid gold so that she would cherish and admire it forever. She told me it was too "Italian" looking. I now have a hundred dollar rose sitting in my office. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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, 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, it's my wedding anniversary; my husband forgot. My daughter gave me two beautiful long stem roses and said she would look after her sister while we went out to celebrate. My daughter is more romantic and thoughtful than my own husband. FML
Today, my wife figured out I gave her a dollar store ring for our anniversary. 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, the attractive guy I barely speak to in my statistics class gave me a rose for Valentine's Day because he remembered they were my favorite. My husband got me a roll of quarters and told me to go buy myself "something pretty." FML
Today, I brought my girlfriend flowers. All she managed to do was to say, "It’s been a year since you brought me flowers." FML
Today, my girlfriend found an enormous rose arrangement in the back seat of my car. The flowers were from my fire chief to his wife. I forgot to deliver them. I now have to replace them since my girlfriend thinks I got them for her. The arrangement cost $225. FML
Today, my girlfriend came home with a huge bouquet of roses. They were from an admirer, brainwashing her to think I'm a terrible boyfriend for not buying her flowers like he did. FML
Today, I sent a dozen roses and a hand-written, heart-felt note to my ex-girlfriend to show her that I'm still madly in love with her. When I asked if she got the flowers I sent, she replied, "Yeah but you got the wrong color. You should've gotten yellow, that stands for friendship." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

That sucks, what the heck is wrong with "italian" looking things? I think it's a very thoughtful gift.

She obviously didn't mean Italian-Italian, you know, the place that's so visually stunning that every movie that takes place in Italy becomes a visual porno. She meant "Real Housewives of New Jersey" Italian.

There is no such thing as too italian.

What a romantic gift! That is one ungrateful woman. She's lucky--my boyfriend doesn't have the ability to spend that much like you did for your wife..But even if it had come from the dollar store, I would have loved my bf twice as much. =)

What a bitch. I mean, she doesn't have to like it, but she should have atleast pretended considering it was expensive and heartfelt.

I don't understand why people are saying that the OP shouldn't have picked a gold-dipped rose as a gift, just because they would happen to find it tacky. The gift itself is what it is because of the thought behind it, and what it means. My boyfriend gave me a rose dipped in 24 karat gold for Valentine's Day, because one time I said that flowers were pretty, but I was sad whenever they were in my home because they wilted and died within a few days. So he got me that particular present because it was a real flower that would always retain its beauty. I'm not a materialistic person (I would've been more than satisfied if he'd opted to write a short, sweet note), but the fact that he remembered what I'd said and made such a thoughtful gesture was what made the gift especially sweet. I'm sure the OP wasn't trying to simply win his wife over with an expensive gift. He referred to it as special, and something she could always cherish. Obviously he put plenty of thought into it and figured his wife would at least appreciate that, even if she managed to be less-than-impressed with her gift. And these things don't look Italian at all. I can't even imagine how that would be someone's first thought.
