Manage your expectations

By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2011 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years asked my dad if he could marry me, and my dad agreed. He then tells me that he's not going to propose for maybe another year at least, he "just wanted to get that out of the way." FML

I don't understand while males get excited over marriages.. Sex stops: Left hand begins. But in this case, the boyfriend probably wants to drag it out to make sure the last little bit of sex is good.

If he knows your probably going to marry him it will be less of a sin to have sex.

You have an a7x dp... Yet you speak of sex as a sin like a hardout christian... This hurts my brain.

Sorry mods. I meant that he probably just wants to be sure about it, or maybe having second thoughts. if it was your dad told you about the proposal plans that's kind of a jerk thing to do.

Telling someone you're going to propose in s year is kind of like a pre-engagement. Celebrate, OP!

I think op only posted this to FML to tell the whole world about her pre-engagement, not because it's an FML.
