Today, I found an unfamiliar ring in my purse. Thinking it was fake, I gave it to a little girl. Thanks to my mother, I later found out that the ring was my grandmother's and it was made of gold and had a real ruby. My mother added that my grandmother trusted me to keep it in our family. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML
Today, my 8-year-old daughter came home from school, saying she had gotten engaged and was wearing a ring. It looked real. Later that night, I got a call saying that their son had given my daughter his grandma's engagement ring. My daughter actually said no to the engagement, but still took the ring, FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Today, my 6 year-old granddaughter was sitting on my lap, playing with the rings on my fingers. After a moment, she pointed to a gold ring with many jewels and said, "When you die, can I have that one?" FML
Today, I realized my wedding ring was missing. Turns out, my son had taken it to give to a girl he likes in the second grade. FML
Today, I found out my mother-in-law sold a precious family heirloom and gambled away the money. FML
Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML
Today, I came home to my mother-in-law wearing the gold chain which I usually keep in a hidden drawer. I searched my drawer only to find out my chain was missing. I asked my mother-in-law if she took it and she keeps denying the fact that she stole it from me. My husband is on her side. FML
Today, after days of looking for it, I finally found the ring my boyfriend gave to me. It was on my roommate's finger. FML
Today, my almost-mother-in-law demanded I give my engagement ring back because it was originally her great-grandmother's, and she has now decided she wants it to go to her youngest son’s fiancée instead. My fiancé agreed and told me he’d just buy me another. He doesn’t get why I’m so upset either. FML

Why in heaven's name did somebody just stick it in your purse without telling you?

You probably should have at least checked with somebody before assuming it was fake

That is so stupid of you. You don't just give it away without knowing exactly what it is. Jesus Christ. YDI.

I don't know why she wouldn't tell you about it, just throwing it in your purse and assuming you'd know (if that's how it happened) was really stupid. But I'd also ask around a bit before just giving it away. Is there any way you could get it back?

Checking with other people is always a great thing to do

I'm just gonna stop and question the truthfulness of this FML post. First off, you just 'found' this ring in your purse, and decided to give it to a little girl? Hmm. Not only that, but somehow it was very important, and your grandmother just trusted you to keep it safe? Definite hmmm. Also, your mom just later revealed all this information to you after? Sorry, but I'm calling BS

Lol k think your family from now on should tell you about things they give you so you don't turn around and give it to a little girl assuming something

If I found a ring in my purse I wouldn't give it away. Couldn't have been accidental. Ydi for bad decision making.

Should have asked your mother before giving it away.
