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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
The Hulk
Today, my very cheap boyfriend of four years proposed. I was overwhelmed with emotion, since he bought such a huge, seemingly-diamond ring. I was later overwhelmed with emotion when my finger turned green. FML
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
Today, my boyfriend gave me the most beautiful diamond ring I have ever seen. As I excitedly put it on my finger, he told me it wasn't an engagement ring, but I should wear it like one to keep other men away and seem "unapproachable". FML
Who? Where?
Today, my husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings for my birthday, to match the necklace he'd spent months searching for online the previous year. What necklace? He gave me a watch he found at Walmart last year. I wonder who the lucky girl with the necklace is. 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 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, 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, for our 2-year anniversary, I bought my girlfriend a beautiful $400 necklace. She bought me a pink $5 shirt of Elton John riding a piano through space. FML
So romantic
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." FML
It's the thought that counts, or something
Today, I gave a girl I like a $200 diamond necklace to express how much she means to me. She gave me a hug and told me she didn't want to lose me as a friend. Nor did she want to lose her new necklace. Today, I got a $200 hug. FML

Maybe he's hoping you'll get brown contacts and pierce your ears to suit his royal standards. lol

"Us guys"? Speak for yourself. I'm a guy, and I would make sure NOT to write down the wrong color on this note. If I didn't know, I wouldn't say anything about it. Some guys are not assholes, newsflash.

Are you sure that your eyes are without a doubt a noticeable green? My eyes are like this : http://gnet.gs/blogger/green-eye.jpg during the day, but at night they go a darker color, which doesn't looks like a dark green-hazel. PLUS, if my brother has green-hazel eyes, which i say are "hazel" but he calls them green.

cool story bro.

Exactly. I think maybe the boyfriend just didn't remember the exact colour of her eyes (I normally don't unless they are exceptionally interesting or large) and just assumed that earrings would always be a safe bet for a girl. Or you know, he could be cheating.

Get used to it. Us guys never notice crap like that. At least you got diamonds. Ungrateful or what?

i agree with that as well. it is obvious the man cares about her if he bought her DIAMONDS. also, many girls who believe they have green eyes really have hazel eyes, which often look brown. in fact, said eyes are more likely to look brown than green, so i don't see how that one is his fault at ALL. unless you have ACTUAL green eyes like me, that are obviously green, i wouldn't blame hime two, most EVERY girl has her ears pierced, so i don't think that was really his fault either. it's odd to find a girl that doesn't have pierced ears. O___O i don't see why you can't just pierce your ears so you can wear the earring later. anyway, either way, unless you have been dating for years upon years, i really don't think it's that big of a deal. he obviously cares about you.

excuse me, but you are so ******* stupid. money does not equate caring. if he didn't know what color her eyes were, he shouldn't have written out "brown-eyed". I am willing to bet that every relationship you've been in has gone wrong, and you have no idea why. OP, you need to break up with this guy. the diamonds mean nothing if he doesn't care about you.

She's not ungrateful.. I think he gave the wrong gift to the wrong girlfriend.

If he really cared that much, he would have noticed that she didn't wear earrings. Yeah, the majority of girls have pierced ears, but it's her boyfriend. He should know... her. The green/brown thing is up in the air. Depends on what shade of green her eyes are -- it can be an easy mistake to make. It's an 'eh' thing, but no need to freak out about it. Earrings are a little more noticeable. Buying expensive diamond earrings is a very sweet thing (scratch that, it's ******* awesome), but it doesn't automatically mean he loves her. Love =/= how much money you spend on a person. Sure, love sometimes comes in expensive gifts, but definitely not always. OP doesn't need to throw her heart at the first person who gives her something that didn't come from a convenience store. Especially if said person didn't even notice that she doesn't have pierced ears. Not saying she should necessarily break up with him, just keep an eye on this one. My personal advice? Get she should get her ears pierced anyway. Diamonds ARE pretty badass.

Couple things: 1. My boyfriend cares for me a lot. He doesn't have a lot of money so I don't get many gifts. It doesn't bother me because I know he loves me. 2. My friend has this thing about "Holes in the body that aren't meant to be there" so maybe she can't just go and pierce her ears because her either cheating boyfriend or asshole boyfriend (or both) is so unobservent. 3.The green/brown thing is a toss-up I guess. Wouldn't that somehow have come up in a conversation eventually? But if there really isn't much of a difference between your green eyes and brown eyes then ok. 4. @#4... "At least you got diamonds"???? Wowwww I feel so bad for any girlfriend you have had and will have. So you think, just buy her something pretty, that'll shut her up? 5. Yes it probably is right to assume most girls have their ears pierced but it might not always be noticable. I, for instance, don't wear earings a lot. I just don't have many nice ones. Thats all I have to say. Enjoy.

Break up with him and keep the diamonds being the plan I assume?

Well, what can you expect? One man can't notice everything, althrough if it was me, I'd look it up twice before giving the present. Maybe the present was for someone else hes cheating on you with and got rejected? Oh the endless possibilities.

Everyone cannot pierce there ears. For some strange reasons, I and some other people I know are allergic to piercing. :-/

Allergic to piercing? Yeah. No.
haweb 0
You can't be allergic to getting your ears pierced, just certain elements of it. && there's ways around it.
monicamischief 0
as these two said; you can only be allergic to some kinds of metal, not to the piercing process itself. get a kind of stud you aren't allergic to and make sure you clean it. simple.

Or dang, just don't get your ears pierced and sell the earrings. I would think that if someone's about to buy diamond earrings they'd make darn sure you had your ears pierced, which leads me to believe he is either loaded or has another girlfriend with brown eyes and pierced ears. I'd sell the earrings before breaking up or doing anything about it :) But then again that's why nobody buys me diamond earrings hahaha.

If someone got me earrings like this... I still wouldn't pierce my ears. Sorry, I do not want my ears pierced. Is that so bad? What would be the point anyway? Ohhh I can have shiny dangly bits hanging from my ears, how exciting and beautiful!... No. Now... mind, I would definitely appreciate such a gift, but I wouldn't pierce my ears just for the sake of it. I'd definitely be a little disappointed that they wouldn't know me well enough to get me instead a necklace, ring, or bracelet, though. However, that depends on how long they've been together whether or not she should feel disappointed or FML. As for the eyes, I can see that as forgiveable, since I've rarely seen anyone with green eyes that were shockingly green, unless they were wearing contacts or something. Brown is easy to confuse it with... I would be upset if he said instead something like... blue or gray, unless they were pretty pale. And of course both factors also have a bit of dependency on how often the subject was brought up. If she offhandedly mentioned "I hate when people think my eyes are brown, THEY'RE /GREEN/!" then definitely growl-worthy. If she ever said "My mother tried to force me to pierce my ears" then definitely growl-worthy. If she expected him to automatically and immediately notice, then no growls allowed, unless they've been together for a reasonable amount of time. [edit] Oh, excellent point 87. It would definitely be wise your partner appreciates and can/would use such gifts before shelling out the cash. He could have another girl, or if this is soon in the relationship he may be one of those guys who try to buy the girl into bed.

Ah-ha, but HERE'S the question: Is he cheating, or were those acquired in the stick-up?
Suree 0
to be fair: I also have green eyes, but from a distance (10ft away or so), they appear brown. True enough your BF should know better, but hey that's what guys are like.
