Love: Delayed

Delayed

By inheritance - 05/05/2015 14:44 - Denmark - Lyngby

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said, "Sure, but not yet." As we've been together for five years, I was a bit confused, but she cleared that up with, "Not until your dad has died, I don't want him to ruin my wedding with a bad toast." FML

Today, my girlfriend of two years finally agreed to marry me. As I went on with the proposal, her Grandma tried rejecting me by saying, "These guys have gangster friends." FML

Today, my girlfriend rejected my proposal, claiming she refuses to get married until she finally finds her dad, so he can walk her down the aisle. Babe, he walked out when you were 7 and hasn't been seen or contacted you since. Just say you don't wanna marry me so we can both move on. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She got incredibly excited and started flapping her hands around. Then she suddenly went deadpan and said "But seriously... no." FML

Quietly overjoyed

Today, I think my boyfriend of 5 years is going to propose soon. He told me he was thinking about it last year, and spoke to his parents, who said they wouldn't attend the wedding as "It's not their thing." My dad passed away in November and I don't talk to my mum, so I have no one to be excited with and share the news. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in public. She happily said yes, and the surrounding crowd cheered for us. About 10 minutes later, after the excitement died down, she leaned over and quietly said, "Actually, I don't want to marry you. I only said yes so I wouldn't disappoint the crowd." FML

Well some women want the perfect wedding. At least she told you why and you weren't sad. However the bigger issue is she just said sure. I don't know that proposals should be accepted so casually.

Well I know one person who won't be in the will.

If it was a joke, cool. But if she's serious...she sounds like a real winner :(

That's ******* rude but nothing to "ditch the bitch". Did you at least talk to her about? Then again, since this is an FML I'm assuming you didn't sit her ass right down and talk to her about what she ******* said. When shit like this happens, you need to be proactive and figure out what to do and why she said what she said and then go from there. This is just coming from experience since I really dislike my asshole father-in-law since he's said/done some disrepectful shit to me but I don't want him dead.

Come on, it was probably a joke. Not the best one I've gotta admit, but not a reason to break up either. As they've been together for five years, there would have been signs of her being crazy enough to mean something like this serious.
