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

I'm going to say you're incredibly stupid here, and YDI. And HDI, too. He should've remembered something like that, and maybe put it in something you aren't allergic to, like roses, or something. And why didn't you just throw it in the trash? Do you always throw things down the garbage disposal first?

But still...why would he hide the ring in something he knew you were allergic to?

You just saved him a lot of time though. Now he doesn't have to marry a bitch.

If this was something you told him once long ago, then how was he supposed to remember? Is a man supposed to remember everything a woman has ever told him? Your boyfriend obviously put a lot of thought and effort into this. Even if you are allergic, you should have appreciated the sentiment. It was very rude of you to be so ungrateful for all his work.

"Is a man supposed to remember everything a woman has ever told him?" No, but he is sure as hell supposed to remember important stuff like, "If I eat chocolate, I could die." My girlfriend and I have only been going out for a month, and it took me one time of hearing that she can't eat chocolate without getting sick to scratch off chocolate as a potential gift for any occasion.

You were right to get pissed. Touch chocolate to get to said ring? Break out in hives? Eat chocolate out of being nice to him for putting in the effort? Get hives then die. Tell him to put it in something you're not allergic to, like a gluten free bread roll.

I wonder what vital inter-personal lesson you missed out on as a child that makes you think this kind of behavior is acceptable. Here's a hint: If someone gives you a gift you don't like/can't use, you smile and say thank you. It is never, ever appropriate to throw a gift back in someone's face.

I'm one of the people who clicked FYL. This is why: HE FORGOT A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGY. His "romantic" and "nice" gesture COULD HAVE KILLED HER. And you're all assuming too much about her reaction. It states she got angry and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Her getting angry could be a statement as simple as, "Dammit honey, you know I'm allergic to chocolate!" and dumping the candy out. The garbage disposal is meant for food, so its use in this situation makes perfect sense. Even if you think it's rude to throw out a gift, I can understand her for being angry with a person who supposedly loves and cares about her giving a gift that she can't enjoy and that can, again, KILL HER. If someone got me a rabid raccoon in a box as a spontaneous gift, I wouldn't accept it with a forced smile and say "Oh, how nice," I would shoot it. If he's stupid enough to try to pull a romantic gesture with something that could send her into anaphylactic shock and possibly kill her (not to mention make her choke or chip her tooth or the myriad other problems people have mentioned with putting engagement rings in food), he has no business proposing in the first place. Even if she did throw a complete bitch-fit, she doesn't deserve scorn and ridicule for overreacting. I tend to take my life and physical well-being pretty seriously too.

you're acting like he force-fed her the chocolate. Nothing he did put her in danger. It was her choice whether or not to eat it. Yes he forgot an allergy, but it would have been worse if he'd forgotten she was allergic to peanuts then served her a stir-fry with peanut sauce and she took a mouthful without realising what was in it. It's not like she could have accidentally eaten the gift without realising what it was. Again, nothing he did put her in danger. The rabid raccoon could jump out at you and bite you. The chocolate couldn't jump out of its wrapper and down her throat. Not to mention, how you do you know it would put her into anaphylactic shock? Maybe she's just lactose intolerant? Or just has a mild allergy? I have a friend who's allergic to chocolate - it gives her migraines. She's not going to die from it.

ydi for being so rude. Yeah, it was stupid for him to forget, but you didn't have to be such a bitch about it.

Well, maybe her boyfriend did know her allergy, and expected her to say "Hon, I'm allergic to chocolate" then he would say "open it up" where she tears up and says yes. He probably didn't count on her being a **** bitch.

1) True, he should have known you were allergic to chocolate 2) You still don't have to throw it out! You could have saved it to give to someone else, at least then your bf could have gotten you to open it.
