Today, I found out that just because your boyfriend asks you to marry him doesn't mean that he will show up at the wedding. FML

I hope you never give him a second chance after a stunt like that.

honestly, when fmls are worded like this it's just stupid. "today, i found out something that was really always possible and in a perfect world would never happen" regardless, **** your life.

that sux. sorry to hear that. but marriage is for suckers.. what if in the near future after u got married it would of ended in a divorce? because years down the line he realized he didn't love u or cheat on u? so ur hurting now but you'll mend.. better than to hurt for a long time. trust .. I know if I knew now what didn't then I would of so much preferred him not showing up at the wedding.. but I hope u feel better..

The marriage had no good moments (even in the beginning) and was so horrible you would've rather never gone through with it?

Awww, sweetie, was the engagement ring valuable? Can you get a good price for it on the street?

Aw, wow that's horrible. Indeed this is a FYL, but maybe you should think for a moment. Maybe he got too drunk at the bachelor party. Or maybe he got cold feet right before the wedding, getting married is a really big step after all. There are several reasons why he might not of shown up but I think you need to talk with him and find out why he missed the wedding before completely breaking it off. If he missed it on purpose because he really doesn't want to marry you then yea, you should probably dump him. But if he was just nervous or he got really drunk and over slept or got a hangover and still wants to get married than you two should try again but have a nice small wedding on the beach or in the backyard what will be a lot cheaper.

He was too irresponsible for a second chance, in my opinion. If he was scared he couldve talked it over with OP. Its inexcusable that he just didn't show. Yeah, shit happens, but this event was too important to miss for anything short of death or hospitalization.

because it sounds better & original that way
