Today, my husband and I were watching TV. An info-mercial came on for a diamond cross necklace that had the lord's prayer engraved inside of it. As the commercial ended I said, "who in their right mind would actually buy that?" Turns out, my husband would, for our anniversary. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 found out that my beautiful engagement ring is a remake of the late Princess Diana's engagement ring. I also found out my fiancé bought it from an infomercial, for $19.95. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML
Today, I gave my husband an expensive watch. The first words out of his mouth were, "You didn't use our joint bank account for this, right?" He then asked if I still had the receipt. 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 son was getting ready for a first date. I asked him what he was doing, and he revealed he'd saved his money and bought her a GOLD NECKLACE to show his love. I facepalmed so hard I nearly gave myself a concussion, then told him to put that away until their first anniversary or something. 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, 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 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 got a gift from my wife. It was a beautiful watch. The same exact watch I'd sold to our local jewelers for 6k. She bought it for 10k. When I told her, she said, "Hmmm, I thought it looked familiar." There goes 4K from our joint account. I could’ve thought of 4000 ways to spend that money. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

This looks familiar... maybe I moderated it. Anyway, it's the thought that counts. Apologize for insulting the gift, and tell him you'll treasure it because he gave it to you, even if you don't like it too much. I'm sure that'll make him forgive you.

I agree with #1, but if you want to REALLY save your butt, you can lie and say that the only reason you said that was because you didn't think he could afford something like that and you didn't want him to feel bad? Though I don't always condone lying, I think that could help.

omg i alwayyys see those ads. don't feel bad, those necklaces are cheap and the commercials are terribly cheesy! haha i'm sorry your boyfriend actually thought you would like it though.

I agree with you, though! Those necklaces are ridiculous and you would think your husband would know your taste better than that. You know what gets me? The say in the commercial that each necklace is unique/one of a kind in the commercial, but they are being mass produced which makes that statement inherently untrue.

Ugh, I know that commercial. lol. That sucks, I'm with you on that one, but I could have sworn I've seen this FML before. about the necklace and everything, not the engagement ring one from a few days ago. w/e

Hah, I feel bad for your husband, but you're right, those things are SO tacky!!! Even if I were Christian I wouldn't want such a cheap and gaudy item.

Alright, let's get a show of hands: who here would buy their wife or husband an anniversary present from an infomercial? IMO, nothing says, "I really didn't want to have to go out of my way to choose a present for you" like something from an infomercial (irregardless or whether or not that were actually true). FYL. #25: LOL (at you, not with you).

I'm sorry "it's the thought that counts" is bull, it really means that the person was lazy or doesn't know you at all. If your married then the person should know you well enough to get you something that is actually meaningful or something that you will like. Husbands are either the type that plan far ahead or last minute. I have never met one that was in the middle. Guys usually know what to get, although there are a few that are just so stupid they can't figure it out, i'v met one like that, he bought his girlfriend a wine stopper, she donesn't drink wine and it was a piece of shit that she didn't like. He was probably lazy watching tv one night thinking about it for 2 minutes the commercial came on and he got it because he thought "hey thats easy".

Today, I was watching TV with my wife when an infomertial for a necklace I had ordered in secret for her came on, thinking that I would give her a nice surprise gift. She watched for a moment, then said, "Who in their right mind would actually buy that?" I guess that's me. FML
