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
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 lingerie from Victoria's Secret. He then added that his mother picked it out. 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, 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, my boyfriend decided to gift me soap, a razor, and deodorant for my birthday. 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, 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, 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
Today, my boyfriend took me to dinner. There was a beautifully decorated table with rose petals and a huge bouquet and he told me he had ordered all this for me. I'd never felt so special. That is, until I had to get up for the couple whose table it actually was. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mom bought us matching purity rings. FML

On our first Christmas together, my husband gave me a cheese grater. When I asked him why, he said, "You said you needed one. " Did you mention you needed something like that? Cause that's how men think. I need= splendid, fail proof gift.

If you didn't talk to him about how you felt about it, YDI. Communication is important...

If my bf did that to me, I'd castrate him with a nutcracker -.- Seriously, why is he dating you, and giving his EX better b-daygifts?? Talk to him I say. There's a limit going there. Tough luck, honey

Wow, seems like a hint. What a dick. I hope it was a gag gift before the real gift.

Well, maybe since it was his EXs he didn't want to make the mistake of spending thousands on his next girfriend incase it didn't work out. Be grateful you got anything at all.

So how about a pair of non expensive earrings? Or flowers? Out to a movie? Dinner date? Perfume? Something at least remotely romantic? Doesn't have to be expensive, but come on.

The FML isn't that OP got hand towels (although, not to be materialistic, that would be a kinda crappy gift), the FML is that OP got hand towels while all of her bf's previous girlfriends got expensive tiffany jewelry.

that sucks but maybe he just wants to avoid the stress maybe meaning he likes you even more... But if you want something just ask and ask why it was so difficult but don't ask why he hasn't gotten you any if your trying to find that out because it could just led to a fight or a feeling of uncomfortableness... Also with the towels that's a homey type of thing maybe he really wants you around more especially for the long haul

He could have also brought it up because he was insecure about it
