Uhm who cares if he got her something. Her husband buying another girl a necklace is what matters here.

The OP is lucky. The necklace might have been cursed.

damn not if he bought the necklace for somone else that's fckd up /:

There seems to be a curse over the 1st comment. When it's not imbeciles yelling "FIRST!!!11eleventyone!!1", it's even worse morons spouting out incredibly stupid nonsense. The FML here is OBVIOUSLY not the price of the present or getting one at all, but the fact that she just realized her lousy husband is most likely cheating on her!! (Not to mention that he gives great presents to his lover and lousy Walmart stuff to his wife, which is an additional insult since it implies he values the lover more than the wife, but that's just additional damage, not as bad as the cheating itself.)

Why is it that the first thing we assume is cheating or another woman? What if he bought that necklace to his sister, or mother, or aunt, daughter or grandmother? Is this not possible?

If my husband spent months searching for a gift for his sister, mother, etc. I would know about it; most wives would. For OP not to know makes it extremely likely he bought it for another woman. FYL, OP. Your husband is a thoughtful bf and a cheating jerk of a husband.

it's called inferences

LOL WIN.

ImaginaryFoe, but his wife DOES know he spent months searching for the necklace. Otherwise, that detail wouldn't have been included in her FML.

you know, HE could have told her that he bought the earrings to match the necklace he spent months searching for. juust saying :)

atleast you have something, other people can't even afford a t-shirt

Imaginatyfoe - you admit that "most" wives would know, but that doesn't mean "all". Your only conclusion is that he's cheating - are you really convinced that there is no other explanation? Some husbands do not brag to their wives that they are looking for something great for their mother or sister because there might be some unreasonable people (like OP and Imaginaryfoe?) who may take it personal and jump to their own conclusions. just saying..

heey.... I luv walmart... but I get your point

Thank you, Iinchyo. That was what I thought was implied by her "What necklace?" comment. Whodat (btw, nice hat), I wouldn't care if my husband spent time finding a gift for someone. I would know because I would see him on the computer, he would tell me, and he would ask for my help. You're right though, not every wife would know. But if it had been an innocent reason, he probably would've said so immediately so no FML.

because she never got the necklace and the fact that he thought he'd given it to his wife but didn't indicates that there is someone similar to his wife in his life (ie another lover)

mmmm hello down Der who cares If he bought her something ....the trip is where he didn't get her something expencive to

oh stop whining. at least you got something. god ccomplainers these days!

New rule: All users must pass a seventh grade level reading comprehension test in order to comment on FMLs. Thank you, that is all.

haha lol no it was mine!!!!!

in Russia, necklace wear............. ahh forget it

so, why would he give you matching earrings if you don't have the necklace? sorry about that though. :)

She would know it!

@3, I hope you're not serious?

Wow, #3, you're as dumb and childish as #1. Way to go. That's the problem with little kiddies commenting on FMLs about adult couples and situations. They can't possibly comprehend what's happening or being said in the FML, and as a result it just creates stupid comments that annoy the actual adult users of the site. :-/

@17 I didn't get that 3 was a lil kid. I discovered he was a troll.

It wasn't sarcasm. YOU need to learn the difference, before you spout out more stupidity.

I bet you live on your computer. No one loves you, #17.

I could not agree more. I'm trying to understand, and I think she's implying that he's cheating, but op is so stupid that she can't put together a coherent 6 line post. Either way, op should burn down the house and that'll be the end of it.

It makes perfect sence, I'll break it down for you; "Today, my husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings for my birthday," - makes perfect sense. "to match the necklace he'd spent months searching for online the previous year. What necklace?" - this tells us that there was a necklace that wasn't given to the wife, it IMPLIES that he said it was to go with a necklace and she didn't understand what he was on about because of this ->"He gave me a watch he found at Walmart last year." This also implies that the necklace wasn't bought for her. Which leads her to wonder this -> "I wonder who the lucky girl with the necklace is. FML" hence there is an fml because it implies her husband is cheating on her. The only issue is whether or not he did actually buy the necklace and therefore if he did give it to someone else, or if he hid it and then forgot where he put it like someone mentioned.

Actually it doesn't make sense, even with that explanation. Did the OP receive the earrings and her husband said "these are to go with the necklace I bought you last year", then the OP, never receiving a necklace goes "what necklace?", "You know, the one I spent months searching for online," "No never got that one", "Oh, ohhhh, nevermind". Or did the OP monitor her husband's internet usage and look at the websites he was visiting, or does she have a bank statement saying he purchased a necklace. How does she know a necklace was bought is the question. What happened to it? Did he lose the necklace, did he forgot to give it to her, is there another woman? There are too many unanswered questions in this poorly worded FML that it's hard to understand exactly what happened.

I did say the bit about finding out about the necklace was only implied, you do have to make assumptions with any fml because there are nearly always unanswered questions (or maybe I just ask too many questions) It is entirely possible he said that they were to go with a necklace he'd gotten her last year and then mentioned he'd spent a while looking for it, all in the one statement. It's also possible she went into his history to see if he did, again, we dont know if she did this before or after she found out about the necklace (though after is unlikely because internet history tends only to be a few weeks long). It is also possible that they share a bank account in which case if she's looked at the statement and there was an unknown payment she went to see what it was to make sure it was something that was supposed to be being paid. (these are just plausible possibilities from the examples that were in your post) There are many possibilities, however, the fml is the fact that she knows a necklace was bought and the earrings were to go with it and she never recieved the necklace, so she is wondering who did.

I'm going to say he probably forgot who he bought the necklace for and told her the earrings were to go with it. I know when my boyfriend buys me something to go with something I already have he tells me. It's one of those "I was trying to be thoughtful" statements.

I have to agree that this fml was poorly written. I'm not even sure I fully understand. (but anyway) if you were to look through my computer you'd see that I look for a lot of stuff online!!! I'm crazy for a good deal but that doesn't (in any way what so ever) mean that I buy all of it! OP if this is the only thing that's making you suspicious.... get over yourself

What an assface. dump him
