Today, my boyfriend and I exchanged promise rings. I promised that I would stay committed to him and that he was the only one for me. He promised that he would stop seeing other woman behind my back. He wasn't kidding. 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, my boyfriend bought me a ring for my birthday. My dad now refuses to talk to me, because he thinks I'm engaged. My boyfriend thinks it's funny, because he'd never marry me. FML

Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML

Today, my wedding celebration came to an awkward pause when my dad slapped my mom across the face and called her a whore after she admitted to having an affair. FML

Today, my boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. FML

Today, my dad told me he had been seeing someone for a while and has decided to marry her. When I met her, her son looked familiar. I lost my virginity to him. FML

Today, I was having sex with my boyfriend when my dad pulled up to pick me up from his house. My dad beeped his horn and my boyfriend opened his bedroom curtain, knocked on the window, and waved. While he was still inside of me. FML

why do parents think a ring will convince their dear daughter to keep her leg closed? it never works.

And that is why you don't do it in your parents' house.

I hate promise rings. They suck, just on principle.

I'm certain he wasn't surprised. All girls are hobags now, it's "cool". Quite frankly it makes me sick, and I don't know how to pick a wife out of this nasty bunch.

Today, I gave my daughter a chastity ring for her one year anniversary with her boyfriend. She had promised me under my wishes that she would wait until marriage to be having sex. Four hours later I saw her porno labeled "Chastity inside my ass!" FML

You promise your dad to not have sex until your married and you can't even lock the door when you're breaking that promise four hours later? PROPS.

Agree with #61. I'd personally rather wait for marriage. Though, I'm agnostic, so it's a personal decision rather than a religious one. And I wouldn't go through with that "purity ring" ceremony shit, either. If someone *chooses* to partake in something like that, then that's his or her decision, but my mind may change in the future and I'm not going to make a promise that I may or may not be able to keep. Either way, I don't give a shit about anyone else's sex life, so I don't see why anyone would care about my lack thereof. Regarding OP's situation, both of them deserved it. True, I can understand a Christian father's desire to protect his daughter from pregnancy, STDs, and "sins of the flesh" but making her take an oath like that is ridiculous. It's her decision, not his. And unless "purity ring" is a new code name for some weird-ass, hard-to-get-out-of chastity belt, it's (obviously) not going to stop her from having sex if she wants to. Parents like that need to understand this, and focus more on protecting their kids by teaching them about safe sex rather than abstinence only. As for the OP...I'm not even going to go into detail over how stupid that was. Better luck next time.
