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

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

LlAt least he bought you anything. I've never met a man who will buy me anything worth more than 50 cents.

I hate idiots that start crying the second their boyfriend pulls out a jewelry box. If it's not what you think it is, you look like a total fool. Better safe than sorry.

Stop being so materialistic. He got you a present, you should be happy.

to everyone who finds OP ungrateful, it is not that she doesnt appreciate the earings it is that she was expecting a ring not earings.

As has been said, it doesn't make sense to assume that it was a ring. Tiffany's makes more than just rings, and in this case OP deserves it for getting hyped up without her bf actually proposing. Of course, her bf is also either an idiot or an asshole for thinking that it'd be ok to put cheap jewellery in a Tiffany box.

And if you love him, the $15 is just a number to you, otherwise, YDI when your boyfriend ditches you for someone who appreciates him

Me being "funny": You're a bitch. I'll take those earnings. Least I'll be proud and look fabulous. :D YDI because that's sweet of him. Me being seriously sarcastic: OMG, what a douche. Break up with him right now!

Well, at least he bought you something. And don't get so overworked at the sight of a box next time.
