Today, my girlfriend came home and announced that she'd just bought a $40 pair of flipflops. She then declared that I wouldn't be getting a birthday gift this year due to budget shortfalls. For hers a month prior, I'd got her a $300 piece of jewelry. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, after buying my girlfriend a $700 bracelet for Christmas, I hinted that I wanted a pair of Oakleys. She told me I shouldn't get her anything and that I should expect even less. 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, I asked my girlfriend about a diamond necklace I bought her for her birthday, which she didn't seem to be wearing. She then told me she hocked it to pay for her inexpensive phone bill. I paid $1,500 for that necklace, she received $300 from the pawn shop. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I decided to exchange presents for our birthdays. I spent $100 on perfume and Victoria's Secret clothes. She bought me a bag of lifesavers, then asked me to leave because she wanted to take a nap. FML
Today, my mother flipped out that I spent $20 on a gift for myself for my birthday. Instead of getting a gift for me, she spent $300 on a new vacuum cleaner, and claims that we didn't have enough left in our budget to spend on me. FML
Today, my girlfriend is locked in the bathroom crying because I didn't buy her anything for Valentine's Day, even though Friday, at her suggestion, we agreed not to exchange gifts because both of our birthdays are a week away. FML
Today, my husband told me he wants a $600 birthday gift. He doesn't understand why I said that wasn't happening, and is now mad at me. Not only can we not afford that, he only spent less than $10 on my birthday gift last month. FML
Today, my mother-in-law got me a pair of $2 socks for my birthday. Usually, I don't care… until I found out she got my husband's friend, not even best friend, a $100 gift card, and offered him her free hotel room at the casinos. This is the fifth holiday in a row I've received gifts under $10. FML
Today, my wife figured out I gave her a dollar store ring for our anniversary. FML
Today, because it was our first Christmas as a couple, I was careful to get my girlfriend what I considered to be a very thoughtful gift. She opened it, took one look at it, made a face like I'd just kicked a puppy, and told me that in future it would be better if I just gave her money so she could buy her own presents. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow you people know nothing. Why would you give her jewelry for her birthday? It is the most THOUGHTLESS gift a man can give a woman. Anyone can give a girl some expensive shiny rocks. Beside. $40 dollars for sandals IS NOT expensive, especially durable leather ones (like rainbows... which cost more than $40!) Some people prefer durable sandals that last longer than shoes. Maybe if she spent $400 pair of shoes, I'd feel sorry for you. It isn't EVEN your birthday yet and you are already complaining! Asshole. YDI for giving her jewelry. No wonder why she doesn't take birthdays seriously. Douchebag.

Hey, the computer screen sure does make some goldfish obsessed teenage dork very brave. You could stand to follow the advice gallingly advertised on your own silly profile.

He got her something nice, she wasted $$$ on crap and TOLD him he'd get zilch because she had money issues, and then you made a moronic comment. Shut up.

how the hell is it the most unthoughtful thing to give a woman? sure anyone can buy jewellery but you can say that for any gift. i personally love getting it, i'd rather a lovely necklace than something i'd never use or wear! i wear them everyday. so no he doesn't deserve it, how do you know that it wasn't something she wanted hm?

Or maybe HE shouldn't thrive on material gain.

Dude....NOTHING wrong with getting something for your birthday. Even a giftcard would have been nice, but this girl decided that $40 flipflops were more important, even after he'd given her such a nice gift for her own birthday before. I didn't even know flipflops could get that damned expensive!

They can if you're a materialistic bitch who doesn't think about anyone but yourself. (read: The OP's HOPEFULLY soon-to-be-ex)

@15 maybe she bought those colourful havaina slippers from Brazil. They are unfeasibly expensive. And yeah a gift card for $20 would have sufficed. what a B!tch

The point is really that he has an inconsiderate girlfriend who puts herself first. If someone does that, you just stare at them and wonder what goes on inside their head...

Dump her. She can buy a $40 pair of flip flops that she doesn't need, but can't get you a birthday present? Wait on second thought, don't dump her - just tell her that you want your present to be a threesome with her hot friend.

This is a prime example of what is commonly referred to as a selfish bitch. Also, a stupid one. Claiming money problems after showing off a new purchase isn't very convincing
