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
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

Considering OP's username, I'm guessing it wasn't because he'd only gotten her $15 dollar earrings that was the problem, it was because she wanted him to propose. So she's not really being ungrateful about the gift...

Well played, sir. Well played. This one just hit the favorites bin. OP should appreciate the fact that her boyfriend at least got her something, YDI for overreacting.

why is everyone calling OP ("noringforme") nasty names? She was expecting a proposal and acted silly in public because of it....then the proposal didn't happen and she felt ridiculous. I don't know if it qualifies as an FML (it'll be a funny story one day), but it doesn't make her a gold-digging bitch.

OP may not have been expecting a proposal- she got emotional over the name on the box-big difference...if she was expecting a ring the FML should have been worded differently. It does seem to be that she is materialistic and spoiled.

Damn has no one realized the reason why she stared crying in the first place what guy takes his gf on a date and takes out a Tiffany's box if it's not an engagment ring the ear rings didn't make her cry it was the fact she thought he was proposing!

Ii think the reason she cried is because she though it was a ring (engagement ring) so finding out that he had put something like that in a box that would make her so excited was a bit rude. But she is still being selfish and bitchy for only thinking about the price because he was trying to make it more special to her but he was to concerned with the price to understand that.

Today, my boyfriend didn't buy me an expensive gift. He only bought me $15 earings. FML. Do you know how stupid you sound?

She's not complaining that he bought her cheap earrings; she's complaining that he deliberately tricked her into thinking he'd bought her something more expensive--and from her username, it seems she thought it was an engagement ring.
