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!

Man, Italy is awesome. And Italians are cool people...at least the ones I met there. It's the thought that counts, your wife sounds kinda mean...but maybe she didn't mean to be. I don't know. Good luck with that. :)

So passing over the actual fml (I think I've argued enough about that) I really would like to know what makes a rose italian looking as opposed to something else? I never really associated Roses or Gold with Italy. (note: I feel like someone will take this to be sarcasm. this is not a sarcastic comment. I really would like to know!)

I think roses dipped in gold are pretty tacky and wouldn't want one. BUT she should have showed some class and accepted your gift with the love it was given.

What bothers me most is you must feel like using "Italian" as a slur is acceptable behavior. God forbid you substituted with other slurs you would have pages of hate mail. Has your wife even been to Italy or is she just plain "White Trash"? Let me guess she must think she is high society because she buys her windex at Target. (lol)

I started reading your comment and was thinking "Look this person is intelligent with a great Point." Way to prove me wrong. Ignorant ass.

Ok you are 18 you must not know the stigmata about women who go to Target and think their shit doesn't stink. I am Italian and was greatly offended about his comment. Saying stuff looks too Italian must be ok cause she's down with the Soprano's right? It's just utter bs. Furthermore she must not know anything about art history either.

You mean stigma, dear. Stigmata is when a person has christ's wounds. Stigma is a stereotype.
