Today, as I was trying to impress my girlfriend of three months, I showed her the real diamond ring I'd got for my ex. She got an attitude for our whole three-hour car ride home because I'd brought up my ex. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, an ex-boyfriend of mine came to the jewelry store I work at to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The same guy who just a few months earlier ended our 8-year relationship because I wanted marriage and he didn't. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 3 years confessed that at first, she'd only dated me to get her friend jealous, and that even now, she "only kind of liked" me. I bought a ring only a few days ago, and was planning on proposing to her. FML
Today, I finally made the last payment on the beautiful engagement ring I bought and proposed with - two years ago. To my ex-girlfriend, who said no and promptly started sleeping with one of my friends. 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 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, my fiancée handed me her engagement ring back and told me she felt like she's pressuring me into marriage, so to make me feel better about it we’re no longer engaged. On top of this, I found out she’s started talking to her ex again. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years. She bitched me out for not getting the ring she had been "hinting" me to get, and angrily left. 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
Today, I found out the promise ring my boyfriend of 4 months gave me used to be his ex-girlfriend's. FML
Today, I got home and my girlfriend was wearing the ring I bought last week. Apparently she found it and thought to herself, "Fuck it, we’re engaged now so I’ll just start wearing it", completely bypassing the actual proposal part of getting engaged. I’m actually really mad at her right now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

WHY would you think an awesome gift like that for your EX-GIRLFRIEND would impress your current one.

Bringing up an ex is .... not impressive. Anyone can do that. YDI

That's a relationship killer right there. WTF were you thinking?

She didn't "get an attitude". She was hurt and upset that you decided to brag about what you've done for your ex.

🤦 Jesus Christ, please don't ever breed.

Obviously, since you bought her a diamond ring, she meant a lot to you, and I do think it's fair for your ex's sake that she's aware of what you've experienced earlier and who's had important roles in your life.

I’m pretty sure everyone is in agreement that you’re an idiot. I feel sorry for your soon to be ex-girlfriend

You're lucky is was only a 3-hour car ride and not like a 10 hour car ride where you had to deal with your screwup for the whole time.

I'm ngl I instantly click YDI on any FML that starts with "I was trying to impress" and only finish reading the rest after. Not once have I regretted doing it and this was no exception.
