Love and Weird: Congratulations

Congratulations

Today, while talking on the phone with my long-distance boyfriend, he let me know that he was getting married in August to "some girl" for his papers. After I objected, he told me, "Well, you can marry me if you want." I'm not sure if I just got dumped or proposed to. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML

Too much pressure

Today, I told my boyfriend of two years that I wanted to get married eventually, and there's no way to talk me out of it. He broke up with me immediately. FML

Today, my girlfriend of almost a year, and to whom I intended to propose on Thanksgiving, dumped me because her husband will be returning from Iraq soon. And he wants to have a "talk" with me. I didn't know she was married. FML

Bad timing

Today, my boyfriend invited me over to his house. I was planning on breaking up with him while at his house. Turns out, it was a proposal party. I'm now engaged because it would've been rude to say no in front of his family that had flown in. FML

Today, I almost got married. After the elaborate and very expensive wedding, my "husband" decided he did not want to sign the marriage license because he wasn't sure if he really wanted to settle down after all. FML

Buffering

Today, I was in the car with my boyfriend. After telling him how much I loved him, he asked me to marry him. When I said yes and started crying, he said he wasn't sure if he really wants to get married. FML

Explain yourself!

Today, my boyfriend of four years proposed, and I said yes! Not even three hours later, I got a text message asking if we could just be friends instead. He won't tell me what changed, and doesn't feel like he owes me any explanation. FML

Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

He doesn't wanna marry you, he wants to be legalized. You have been dumped, don't fall for his bs proposal.

He's pretty much giving you an ultimatum. Either marry him so he can become a legal resident where you live or he'll marry someone else. FYL cause he should've actually proposed to you (if he didn't) instead of finding someone else to marry. To be honest it seems like he's using you big time. Dump him?

My thoughts were that they met in the US and now he's living elsewhere in another country, and needs citizenship for THAT country, and so marrying the OP would be completely useless. But I could be completely wrong, but just throwing that out there. Also, my friend's sister is Canadian, living in New York as an actress and she couldn't get her Visa without work, and couldn't get work without a Visa, so she married her gay friend. I think the worst part of this, regardless of where he lives and who this other girl is, is that he didn't talk to the OP about it beforehand or explain the situation. That's the only bad/untrustworthy part if he's actually in another country. If he's in the same country, that's just dumb.

Well, to clear things up... He is not an illegal. He is here on a baseball visa, but it expires at the end of the year. He either needs to get signed or he will get married for his visa. He is a foreigner, but I met him here, and have dated him for a while, but he is living in TX right now, playing ball. He is marrying to get his citizenship here, in the US. And, yes. The worst part was that he didn't talk to me first.

he can't get legalized by marrying an American citizen. my best friend is married to someone in the navy and she still has to go through a long process of becoming legalized.
