Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, I found out the promise ring my boyfriend of 4 months gave me used to be his ex-girlfriend's. FML
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, during a major fight with my boyfriend, I threw a necklace he had given me out the window, thinking it was just a cheap trinket. He then told me, for the first time, that that necklace had belonged to his now deceased grandma. 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, my girlfriend gave me her ex-boyfriend's hoodie as a gift. FML
Today, I realised that every morning my girlfriend gets me to help her put on a locket her ex-boyfriend bought her on Valentine's Day. FML
Today, I found out that the girl my boyfriend says is "just a good old friend" is actually an "ex that got away." FML
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 boyfriend treated me to a surprise romantic dinner, got me a huge balloon bouquet, a dozen roses, and a beautiful card for my birthday. Too bad it's his ex's birthday and not mine. FML

All you people saying at least you got a present obviously don't understand women. We don't want something that you gave your ex, we want something that you picked out for us, even if it's cheap, if you picked it out just for us it makes it extremely special and meaningful. Giving a woman something you gave your ex is basically saying we aren't special to you. FYL OP. You need to have a talk with him.

you need a new boyfriend!! is he going to give you his ex fiance's wedding ring next? my ex tryed to give me a gift that was meant or his ex, and my more recent ex gave the ring he bought me to his friend to give to his girl. its a bad cycle on both sides. i hate guys that re-gift things for other women. and re-gifting in general>:[.

The Bright Side: He can still afford things that matter, and he isn't hung up on his ex. p.s. What is the big deal? I mean seriously "Oh my god! Another woman has touched this necklace i refuse to touch it too!" What do you expect him to do throw away perfectly good jewelry that probably cost quite a bit? To your FML, I say look at the big picture.

Who gives a flying ****? You just tell him you're offended/upset and talk about it. I am not sure how you figured it out, perhaps that is the FML and the bitch/sweet/radioactive/whatever ex told you. But unless boyfriend says "You are just here for me to bone, have this fifteen scent necklace and get jiggy with me" then this isn't something that can't be fixed in two minutes. You should have told us how you found out it was originally for the ex. Also to everyone who thinks the gift might be expensive, we don't know this. A "gift" should always be given with kindness and the person in heart. This is not one of those cases, but it is also not the end of the world.
