Today, after an argument with my pianist girlfriend about how bad my favourite song would sound on the piano, she stormed out of the room crying, leaving behind a CD. It was the piano version of the song she'd made for me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after I'd told this girl I’m seeing that I play piano to impress her, it turns out her father is a pianist and has a grand piano in their house. Tonight, I’m supposed to go to her place to play her my "favorite piece." FML
Today, after spending months learning how to play the guitar and memorizing the music to my girlfriend's all-time favorite song, I performed it for her. Her response? "Well, you kind of ruined that song for me now." FML
Today, I was listening to some music with my wife, and I mentioned that the song that was playing changed my mind about breaking up after an argument from years ago. For some reason, she got insanely pissed, threw a suitcase at me, and told me to pack and go. FML
Today, the girl I've liked for over a year, broke up with me after just 2 weeks of dating, all because I'm a better pianist then her. I've been playing since I was 8. She's been playing for 6 months. FML
Today, I carpooled with my co-worker whose girlfriend has left him. The radio was playing the song "Jar of Hearts." He then began to sing intensely, and broke down crying. FML
Today, after practicing a song for my girlfriend on guitar all day, I called her over to my house to show it to her. After a long speech about how "this is for you," I played for about 3 seconds before I broke a string, which slapped her in her face. FML
Today, being a music student, a professional orchestra performed a symphony that I wrote and dedicated to my girlfriend. It took months to compose and it the first and only time it was ever going to be played. My girlfriend forgot to come. FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my girlfriend with a serenade. After I finished, she told me she'd come over to tell me she'd found someone else and wanted to break up. FML
Today, I wrote my girlfriend a song. She wrote me a 13-page letter on why we should break up. FML
Today, I was at a piano lesson playing a song I had worked very hard to make perfect. Halfway through, my teacher abruptly stops me and asks, "Did you notice that I rearranged the furniture?" FML

You'd be surprised what sounds good on piano, OP. Hell, I've even heard piano versions of Whip My Hair by Willow Smith that sound good!

FYL and YDI FYL: You did not know. YDI: Never argue with a musican when you are not one yourself. I know opinions are opinions, but somtimes you have to think before you speak, even lie. Make it up to her. Take her to her faveourite food place, or buy her somthing nice to apologize.

I don't see why so many people say youou deserve it, you had no way of knowing. Anyway, you can fix this bro. Whether you like it or not just tell her you listened to it and you were wrong, it's amazing.

I'm guessing you're not a musician and hence don't realise that if you're talented enough, almost anything can sound good on any instrument.

I totally feel the sadness of your girlfriend. This really sucks man, I wouldn't say YDI, as you didn't know at the first place but really... FHL

This sounds like a terribly stupid thing to argue over.

Sounds like you were the pee-ə-nist! I bet "It's Friday, Friday Gotta get down on Friday" could have sounded awesome! :P

pretty much you need to listen to it, tell her you were wrong and it is beautiful, and you apologize. emphasize how wrong you were. really.

I don't get why everyone's voting YDI. OP had no way of knowing what the gf had done for him and tbh, the gf should've just avoided the whole episode by telling him that she had made it and let him listen to it instead of storming out in a sulk. Hard luck OP, looks like a no win situation if your gf is so dumb that she would prefer to argue and cry rather than tell you what she'd made.

Did you miss the part where his girlfriend's a pianist? Ranting about how bad songs sound when they're played on the piano was not the right move to make here.
