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

Black Friday
70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
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!

Whoa! That is such a great idea!!! I just looked up on line those kind of roses (for this is the first i'm hearing of it) and they are soooooo pretty!! If my boyfriend gave me something like that, that would be the sweetest thing!! He would sooo get some "alone time" with me ;3 Your wife should be happy with your thoughtfulness. If she doesn't appreciate you and your amazing gift, then she can stick that gold dipped rose up her ass. She is lucky to have you!

tbh, it sounds like a pretty dull present to me. You can buy anyone a rose. It's not particularly personal and it's not like it really takes much thought either, because presumably the company that makes them came up with the idea. Jesus, it's not like the OP's walked on water for his wife or something! If she doesn't like it she's perfectly entitled to say, doesn't mean she's a stuck up bitch! :/

their for... LOL. OP: $100 isn't a whole lot. If you hate it you can try selling it. At least it's gold.

Get a new wife. Or better yet next year buy her something for you with your name on it- that way when she doesn't want it you will! ;) Gee what a selfish person.

I looked up how these roses look after being dipped. I'm not sure I'd want one, to be honest, but if my guy handed me one, I'd accept it and place it somewhere where it can be admired, and even forgotten (on a shelf, out of the way, but in sight still...or in the China cabinet/display case). Personally, I LOVE the wooden roses, they come in several colors and look really nice. As for the "It's too Italian" comment....that's rude, racist, and just stupid.

What exactly are golden roses good for? Mine's been cathcing dust on a shelf in its unopened package for over 10 years now.
