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!

aw, that's unfortunate. i would think a lot of women would like that a lot. props to you for trying to be sweet and romantic... maybe you could talk with your wife about what she would rather have too.

Haha nevermindsense that was an absolutely beautiful display of words! Weaving simple words together in such a manner to intensify the intelligence of them, a skill that many, unfortunately, overlook so easily. It is not often I meet someone else proficient in this talent. I say you must, if you have not done so already, look into becoming a debator of some sort, your skill, which I consider to be comparable to mozart's works, would be invaluable in that line of work. A well crafted sentence can easily persuade any commoner. "If you argue a point the right way you can never be wrong." -me

Wow thanks. You've made my day as it is 12:35 on August 1st here. As you've already realized it's difficult to tell someone to rethink such an important decision in one's life so I tried to find the most eloquent share my sentiments on the issue.

Look on the bright side. You now have a solid (no pun intended) little investment for yourself. Your wife doesn't like it? Fine. Give the price of gold significant time to rise and you have yourself a hefty chunk of pocket change all to yourself.

Hahaha great comment. OP: Your wife is a bitch. That is probably the sweetest gift I've ever heard of, and the fact that she just dismissed it like it meant nothing and that there was no thought behind it is disgusting. This kind of reminds me of Rear Window when the man makes breakfast for his bed ridden wife and puts a flower in a vase on the tray and she just throws it aside and laughs in his face...then he kills her...but that's beside the point. If you ever get divorced, hit me up!

I have absolutely NO idea what something being "too Italian" has to do with a damn thing! Is that something to ashamed of? I mean, if the gift was a... iduno, a toilet in the front yard, I can see someone saying "Wow that's redneck." But Italian? That doesn't make sense to me. And OP, your wife needs to learn a thing or two about accepting gifts. That's rude as hell. I'm sorry, and I think that's an AMAZING gift. My opinion. PS I haven't read many comments so this all could have already been explained =O hah

OMG, ive never heard of something like that...it sounds beautiful. At least now you can appreciate it yourself. Sorry, OP. It must have hurt when you were really excited and happy, and she rejected your thoughtful gift. It's clear you must have planned it beforehand and put a lot of thought into it, otherwise your wife's reaction would not be on here. u got my sympathy

YDI for marrying a chick who says "Italian" when she means "tacky." The saddest thing is that I've totally heard Italian used that way before. Since when did a nationality become synonymous with tack? I think of Italians as being really cool. Also a gold dipped rose is a bit gauche, but a very nice gift. It's the intention that's something to cherish.

F your wife instead of F your life. Your wife is the tacky one for talking like that.
