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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I gave my boyfriend a box of chocolates as a present. A few hours later, he texted me saying that the box of chocolates contained nuts. He's allergic to nuts and his mother now thinks I'm trying to kill him. FML
Today, for Valentine's Day, my boyfriend gave me the half-eaten chocolate bar that I left in his fridge two weeks ago. FML
Today, I went to the doctor, only to find out I can no longer eat chocolate, my favorite food. When I got home, my boyfriend took the chocolate cake I'd been eating from the fridge, sat down in front of me, and ate the whole thing without breaking eye contact. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML
Today, my fiancée and I were selecting our wedding cake. The wedding is now off since I refused to buy her the "dream" wedding cake she wanted because it was chocolate. She called me childish and cheap. I'm highly allergic to chocolate. 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, I hit a new low when I caught myself eating the chocolates that were meant to be part of my boyfriend's Christmas presents. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me a silver necklace. I have a silver allergy, but I thanked him anyway and encouraged him to return it. I found out later that he knew about my allergy all along and bought it on purpose so he could return it, get a refund, and still look good. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years. I took the whole day to cook a nice meal, and stuck the ring in a cookie that I was going to give to her. In the middle of the dinner I was holding the cookie under the table, about to give it to her. My dog ate it. FML

I'm going to say you're incredibly stupid here, and YDI. And HDI, too. He should've remembered something like that, and maybe put it in something you aren't allergic to, like roses, or something. And why didn't you just throw it in the trash? Do you always throw things down the garbage disposal first?

But still...why would he hide the ring in something he knew you were allergic to?

Wow, my boyfriend forgets important things all the time and we've been together for four years. The day my grandpa died, my boyfriend FORGOT and asked why I was upset, ten minutes after I told him. Some people just fail at memory. You seriously overreacted. Being negative to the point of being such a BITCH is not good for a relationship, no matter if it was just chocolate or chocolate with a ring in it. You should NEVER flip out on someone you love when they are trying to do something nice for you. As everyone else said, you could have said "You ******* moron! I'm allergic, remember? I don't want this" and handed it back.

Your boyfriend forgetting your grandpa's death, while certainly bad, is not on the same scale as the OP's boyfriend forgetting her chocolate allergy. Him forgetting that you're upset because your grandpa died can't kill you. Her boyfriend forgetting that she's allergic to chocolate can.

What was he going to do, eat the candy for you? What a stupid person.

Okay, so he should have remembered you were allergic to chocolate and chose another way to propose (also, holy **** I wish my boyfriend would do something that romantic). That totally doesn't excuse you for completely losing your shit.

What SHOULD have happened: You: Oooohhh....thanks honey, but I am allergic to chocolate. Him : Yeah, but.... You: Here, why don't you eat it instead. Him: Gosh oh golly, my dream since I was a wee one was to propose like this... You: Propose?! Oh honey, I love you...*kiss, kiss, kiss* Him : Awww, I'm so lucky to have you. My last girlfriend who I tried this on threw the chocolate in a garbage disposal like a douche.
