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
Collection
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

Am I the only one who got the impression that the "old Tiffany's box" was from a previous Tiffany's gift he gave her and he has just re-used the same box? If that was the case- I bet Op was ungrateful at his first gift so he just figured if she was ungrateful again it only cost him $15... Well at least something along those lines... OR she demanded something from Tiffany's and he couldn't afford it or he thought they were a rip off and underestimated a woman's ability to spot a fake.

Would you like some cheese and crackers to go with that whine?

Seriously, OP is upset that she got earrings in a box from a place called "Tiffany's." (yes i know what the store is, but i don't really care about their products) When my fiance and i got my engagement ring, he bought a used ring that i love, but it didn't come with a box from Kay's. If she really loved the idea of the box more than the fact that he thought about her and bought her something he thought she would like and put it in a nice box then let her adore the box. Just like a toddler who gets a nice gift they don't know what to do with but enjoy playing in the box more than with the toy.

It's like buying anything that has been wrapped in bubble wrap

How did he get the box without buying something from there. Perhaps he has given you something from there before and you are being a terrible little c word about the whole situation

Sorry that it seemed like a ring OP. The gesture on his half was really nice. Next time try to keep your cool until he's on bended knee or something.

Isn't the thought that counts? I don't understand why some girls start crying when they see anything pricy. U shouldnt be shallow and be happy that he was thinking of you, even if it was just $15.
