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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, I went to Tiffany's to exchange a bracelet my boyfriend had given me for our year anniversary. It was the first gift that he actually spent money on me for. The sales lady then told me that the bracelet was not a real Tiffany's item. FML
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
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. 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 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
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with a ring from Kay Jewelers. She saw the box, started giggling, whispered, "'Kay", and then started laughing so hard at her joke she had to excuse herself. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a beautiful pair of very expensive diamond earrings, along with a card that read, "To my beautiful brown eyed Princess." My ears aren't pierced, and my eyes are green. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML
Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML

I'm sorry your boyfriend fulled a romantic gesture and you're being a bitch crying about it on FML, OP.

Same thing happened to me. Thought I was getting an engagement ring, but I actually got a necklace from tiffanys though...

If this is because she thought she was getting hitched then I feel bad for her but if she is crying because she thought it was expensive then OP sucks and her bf deserves better ... OP needs to clarify what kind of Tiffany box it is

It's never good to jump to conclusions. Sure, it was in a Tiffany's box..but that wouldn't have automatically made it a ring, anyway. If it had actually been jewelry from Tiffany's, it could have been anything. OP, you really shouldn't have gotten so worked up before even seeing what the box contained.

I don't see what women see in expensive jewelery... It's honestly ridiculous. A guy puts his effort into offering something nice and all she cares about is not being expensive! When was the last time you offered something so expensive to someone, OP? quit being a stupid, money interested girl and be greatful that your boyfriend cares about you and bothered to offer you something he thought you would like....

Ah, marital bliss... He gets sanctioned lousy sex (if she is not 1) tired 2) has a headache 3) on her period 4) not in the mood .... 5678) crickets from across the field may hear us). She gets it all plus the nagging and complaining rights and a pretty sweet deal in divorce court. Hookers are so much more honest than decent women!

Why does it matter they are earrings of cheaper nature you should feel special, he wanted to make you feel that way

YDI for being a whiny bitch, at least he didn't hand it to you in a plastic bag.
