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

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

Read OP's name. She thought he was proposing so don't go hard on the girl for crying about receiving earrings when she wanted her boyfriend to be her husband!

Maybe he can't afford a ring. Be happy you got a gift and stop being an ungrateful bitch.

Synopsis: the boyfriend is a cheap SOB who's trying to run a scam by putting a cheap present in an expensive box, and the girlfriend is a gold-digger. They deserve each other.

How is OP a gold digger... If she got that excited about the Tiffany's box I would assume this is not a regular occurrence but would be a special first time experience or else why get so excited?

I know how you feel. I've known lots of women who had a nice looking box that didn't give me what I thought I was getting. That's life, you get used to it.

So he used an 'old' Tiffanys box? meaning you had one lying around? Yeah I really feel sorry for you.

I swear, they need to change the name of this site to "First World Problems." Or add a "who cares?" button.

Who proposes in a restaurant without going down on one knee and making a scene? Or who does do that for a gift?

Well it's always the thought that counts.
