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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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!

I'm pretty sure a gold-dipped rose is one of those gifts a girl is either going to adore or hate. I totally applaud the OP for his sweet romantic intentions; however, the real FML is that he didn't know his wife well enough to guess that she would be on the "hate it" side of the fence. But she *was* thoughtless about her comment. Sounds like one couple that needs to sit down and talk about what is considered romantic to whom. Hey, marriage is no fairy tale-- in real life, your Prince Charming can't read your mind about these things! I figured that out when my first Valentine's Day present (which was also the first anniversary of our engagement) was a hug : /

FUYL for having a prejudiced wife. Not quite racist because she didn't say any derogatory statements about Italians. She kind of said they are loving, romatic and give thoughtful gifts. Your wife needs some diversity classes.

Why are people arguing over this? It's a stupid Internet story, comment on it all you like but don't argue with other people about their opinion on it, because it truly shows the lack of a life you have. That aside I think the wife is a bitch who can't appreciate her husband

What a bitch. Even if it wasn't her idea of a "perfect" gift, she should've at least been grateful and appreciated your thoughtfulness; lots of women would love a man who remembered anniversaries and picked out a nice present. Sell it on Craigslist.

Your wife is an unappreciative witch. Don't get her anything else again, and then listen to how much she will complain.
