Engagement ring and Love: Nice try

Nice try

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.

HAHAHAHAH you set yourself for that one. Why would u even bring up engagement rings? When he's ready he'll propose. U pushing it just takes away the meaning. Besides he was probably joking.

Deserved it. Don't hint for gifts, you'll get burned in the most ingenious way. Some of us may be simple, but don't underestimate. Men can be devious when they realize they're being manipulated.

1.5 years is waaaaaaaay too quick to get married, unless you're in your late 30's/40's, which I'm assuming you're not. Sorry, but you deserved that one.

If a couple is really serious, marriage does indeed have its benefits; many legal rights, including hospital visitation, family insurance plans, sick care and bereavement leave in the case of a spouse's illness or death. So while marriage may not add up to the "love forever" that so many idealists seem to view it as, it does have its benefits if a couple is really serious and fairly certain that they are going to stay together.

He was joking, but it probably meant everything to you for him to propose to you.

YDI for playing mind games. If you want to marry him, buy the ring yourself and propose. Don't be one of those passive fairy-tale women.

HAHAHAHAHA :D he was probably just joking because you did kinda set him up for that. but if not, these people should leave you alone for trying to prod him, cuz a lot of guys don't like to make the first move and there's nothing wrong with the girl wanting it to happen...
