Engagement ring and Love: Nice try

Nice try

By Ma.Sa.La. - 27/02/2009 15:18 - United States

Today, I was walking through the mall with my boyfriend of a year and a half. There was sign outside of the jewelry store that said, "Engagement Rings - No interest for 12 months." I said, "Look, baby! No interest." He replied, "That's right… NO INTEREST." FML

Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" 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 boyfriend and I were looking at engagement rings. When the store owner asked about our budget, my boyfriend said with a straight face, "Nothing too expensive, I have a big penis so I don't have to overcompensate by buying a big diamond." FML

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 fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML

Today, I got a card from the jewelry store thanking me for purchasing an engagement ring a year ago and wishing me and my fiancée a long and everlasting marriage. Too bad my fiancée took off with the pizza delivery boy 6 months ago. FML

Today, as a 1 year anniversary present, my boyfriend let me see and wear my engagement ring. He then made me give it back at the end of the day. FML

Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over 2 hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML

after 1.5 years thats enough time to make a decision to stay with somebody for the rest of your life? Thats lust not love...Find a guy that will marry in a year and you'll be getting a divorce even sooner.

@ #8 A year and a half is a blink of an eye for a relationship. I live next to an engagement ring store and I would never DREAM of saying that to my boyfriend of a year. You need mroe than a year sometimes to decide if you want to spend EVERY YEAR with the same person. It doesn't necessarily mean hes not into her dude, it means he isn't into getting married right then and there. Be more careful before you hand out such decisive advice like that.

@35 RIGHT ON! When I read yours I was like if i ever said something like that I would get the same response.

"I would want to know if marriage was in the cards we didn't get 5 years into it for him to decide I'm not the ONE." Holy crap, seriously? I feel bad for your boyfriends. Since you're so keen on giving out advice here is a bit for you: No one likes being given an ultimatum and if you told a boy he had to decide within a certain time frame to amrry you - well - i doubt anyone iwll ever ask you

I don't give ultimatums. They NEVER work, and I didn't have to give one to find that out. I'm just saying that she should figure out where things are going. If she finds out that he doesn't want to marry her EVER and hangs around, that's on her, and FYI, I've been asked TWICE, but thanks for playing.
