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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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!

Someone sounds a little bitter, resentful and jealous. Do you wish you were first?

I was surprised thats all. It took me forever to figure out what I was going to say and I still was first. At least I actually made a comment instead of putting first post and then leaving. I wasn't trying to get first post. and I wouldn't say OP's wife is a ****. Obviously there must be good qualities because he married her in the first place and still wants to do nice thigns for her. However yeah seh was really ungrateful. Still have no idea what's wrong with something looking 'italian'. Not even sure what the means....

It's obvious she said it was "too Italian" because she was trying to be nice.** "Maudlin and gaudy" is probably what she really meant. I feel bad for OP on so many levels: for having bad taste, for being a fool (as in, soon parted from his money) and for not knowing what his wife would want after all these years. ** and you people up in arms defending Italy: stop wasting your time. Everybody loves Italy. Even when the prime minister makes a gaffe he owns it and it's hilarious. This obviously had nothing to do with Italy.

Geez. Even if she does find it a little tacky, she should understand the gesture behind it and be grateful for it. It's a meaningful gift for an anniversary, after all. What kind of excuse is "too Italian-looking," anyway? That makes her sound xenophobic against Italians or something.

I'm going to agree with almost everyone here and say that your wife was very ungrateful for such a gift. And it could be used as a thoughtful decor, she'd just have to put it in the right place. Her excuse for saying it was too Italian is the tacky thing.

Maybe she should learn that Jersey Shore and Italians are 2 different things. She’s a racist moron who thinks only by stereotypes

Your repetitive anti-first-post comments are far more spammy than someone adding "first" to the end of a comment.

Tell her your secretary or young, hottie co-worker really likes it. Then get the wife a toilet roll.
