Today, I opened some small cute birthday gifts at my boyfriend's house. As we left to go out, he slipped me a Tiffany box and said he wanted me to open it in private. Flushed and excited, I open it to find a Ziploc bag filled with hair. It was thd mustache I'd been begging him to shave for months. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it's my birthday. My boyfriend took me to dinner and near the end, he pulled out a long, rectangular box. Thinking it was a necklace, I got very excited. It was a wand. FML
Today, I went into hysterics and started crying when my boyfriend pulled out a Tiffany's box at dinner. Then I found out he'd used the old box to make the $15 earrings he bought seem more "special." FML
Today, my boyfriend decided to gift me soap, a razor, and deodorant for my birthday. FML
Today, my boyfriend, who hasn't shaved in a month, went to go shave. I was pretty excited since his beard was starting to make my face itch whenever we kissed. When he came out of the bathroom he had a handlebar mustache. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I were snuggling and telling eachother nice things. The nicest thing he could think of to say to me was "Well, I see you shaved your mustache." FML
Today, my fiancé and I were cuddling in bed talking about our future wedding coming up. He leaned over seductively to tell me he got a present for me to ‘use’ on our wedding day. It was a pack of breath mints. FML
Today, it was my girlfriend's birthday. To surprise her, I told her that I was going away on business, and could not be there on her birthday. When I show up at her house to surprise her with a present and cake, she opens the door in her underwear, beside a man in his boxers. She was surprised. FML
Today, I get to see my boyfriend again after a month. So I decided to shave my pubic hair in the shape of a heart. After my little striptease, he gasped in admiration "Aaaw, Batman sign!" FML
Today, on the way out to buy groceries, my boyfriend asked if I'd like him to buy some of my favourite flowers. Happy with his rare show of affection, I said yes. When he returned, he gave me a bag of our usual brand of flour and laughed hysterically in my face. FML
Today, my boyfriend went into great detail over the Tiffany's jewelry he painstakingly selected for his previous girlfriends on their birthday. I got hand towels. In powder blue. From Target. FML

inorite? He shaved off his facial hair, which is like cutting off his junk, put it in a nice box, presented it to her in private, and she writes about it on FMyLife. Seems like an FHisLife to me.

Don't forget Sean Connery. He has a wicked beard (sometimes a mustache), and it makes him great. Anyways, the only life that's been ****** is your boyfriend's. Stop whining on the internet because you didn't get jewelry.

74, she's not whining because she didn't get jewellery. She's upset because her retard boyfriend tricked her into thinking she was getting engaged. That's quite different. He could have used ANY box in the world to present his discarded facial hair in (classy gift, btw), but he wanted to be an asshole and make her think she was getting proposed to. I think she has a right to be upset.

The thought only counts to people like this OP when that thought involves maxing out the limit on your credit card. Another greedy whiny **** lingering here looking for some sympathy. Keep walking bitch!!!

Wow, number 106, you've told us a lot about yourself. Have you ever dumped someone for not giving you an expensive enough present?

I think she should be more worried about who he gave the jewelry inside to...

146- You can just buy the box. I did it for a prank on a good friend of mine. Most of the time when you do buy jewelry the price of the box is included..

Well, even if she had noticed it, why would she expect to get a ziploc baggie of facial hair in a box Tiffany box? Call me weird, but I think it's kind of sweet, in a strangely messed up way.

Seriously. OP had asked the BF to do something for a month, and he finally did it as a B-Day gift. I'd appreciate the sacrifice. That'd be like a woman who always got acrylics and had a man who always begged her to get rid of them. I think it's cute. And besides, OP, you're in the States. Girl, we're in a recession, you'd better enjoy those damn beard shavings. At least he's not wasting money on a damn piece of jewelry and is trying to be economic.

I completely agree. I try to find a kind and considerate way of letting my boyfriend know if something he likes to wear or other controllable aspects of his appearance actually look bad or are inappropriate for certain situations. I do it so he can know how stuff looks to other people, not because of personal preference, and I would NEVER expect him to change something just because I asked him to--he is his own person, after all. How many girls out there would feel terrible about themselves if their boyfriends were constantly saying, "You need to lose weight/I hate your haircut/Those shoes you love are ugly."? Women should extend the same consideration to men that they expect from them. OP, YDI. He makes a big personal sacrifice that he thinks will make you happy, finds a humorous way of letting you know how important you are to him, and you decide it's an FML. Seriously, grow up.

Just remember kiddies, there's a fine line between a mustache and a mustNOTstache.

Not an FML. That was awesome and sweet. You deserve it if you expect expensive gifts over sentimental, awesome gifts. AND at least it was in a bag...
