Today, my boyfriend bought me a silver necklace. I have a silver allergy, but I thanked him anyway and encouraged him to return it. I found out later that he knew about my allergy all along and bought it on purpose so he could return it, get a refund, and still look good. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, for our 8 month anniversary, my boyfriend bought me a hideous necklace with ugly charms hanging off it. I wore it anyway and got a rash from it on the side of my neck. After seeing the rash my boyfriend accused me of having a hickey from another guy and broke up with me. FML
Today, I found out that the necklace my boyfriend gave me for my birthday was actually a gift he'd given to his ex-girlfriend. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he was taking me out to eat to his favorite restaurant. He said I could order whatever I wanted and he'd pay for it. He took me to Red Lobster, knowing full well that I'm allergic to seafood. 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, I went into hysterics and started crying when my boyfriend pulled out a Tiffany's box at dinner. Then I found out he'd used the old box to make the $15 earrings he bought seem more "special." FML
Today, I found out that my ex gifted a special handcrafted necklace I made for him to his new girlfriend. She wears it on all her socials. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML
Today, I went to Tiffany's to exchange a bracelet my boyfriend had given me for our year anniversary. It was the first gift that he actually spent money on me for. The sales lady then told me that the bracelet was not a real Tiffany's item. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

It's this kind of gift where the thought does not count...

OP- To call your bf (should be your EX bf!!) a douche bag is an insult to douche bags!!.... He's a pud-weazel of the first degree!!

Okay, no need to jump the gun. He obviously cares about enough to try to impress her. He just went about it in a frugal and somewhat devious manner. Though trust can be lost, it can be regained. There is no reason to dump him over something so trivial as a ploy for affection.

While I agree with you it really depends to me on HOW allergic she is. Is it more of a rash type or where you can die? If it is the latter he should be dumped if not then I would say give him a break.

#62, I also have a silver allergy, and if OP is anything like me, we're definitely not talking fatal. It is painful though, and not really attractive to have itchy burns all over your neck/chest.

That's his way of looking good? I'm confused.

Well, judging off of the information in the FML, OP's boyfriend got her a gift, which was a silver bracelet. But after OP found out he was aware of her allergy to silver, he just wanted to do it to seem like he was being kind and then took it back to get his money. So basically, he wanted to seem like a good thoughtful boyfriend but ended up being a smart jerk!

And if you did understand it in the first place, sorry for the break down. I tend to do that often...

Trading BJ's for pricey gifts? That sounds like SUCH a healthy relationship!

Curses! I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids! The best-laid plans o' mice and men gang aft agley.

Have him replace it with one made of gold or platinum. If he doesn't, send him packing -- you don't need no scrub.
