Today, my dad gave me a promise ring on my one-year anniversary with my boyfriend and made me swear I would wait until marriage. Four hours later, he walked in on us having sex in my bedroom. 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.

Don't make promises you can't keep. If you can't avoid having sex, don't tell your dad you can't. He's going to be more disappointed if you promise him and break the promise than if you just tell him you can't make the promise to begin with. Therefore, it's your own stupid fault for picking the path of lying.

And the promise ring idea is sweet. It represents the family's trust. OP's gonna have a helluva hard time earning that again.

At no point is forcing someone to swear an oath giving them trust. OP didn't break any trust, she just ignored someone demanding she abide by a religious belief she didn't hold, which is totally reasonable. Kids aren't required to believe the same religious things their parents do, no matter how much their parents demand it.

Your own fault. You need to have a heart to heart with your Dad. Sounds like he just wants to protect his little girl but promise rings are a load of hookum and don't really mean anything. Especially when given by your father.

Actually isn't a promise ring what a guy gives to a girl before they get engaged? A ring a Dad gives to his daughter for those waiting till marriage kinda purpose is a purity ring... Anyway...that sucks...lol...but you should have been honest with him and just rejected the ring...or did you honestly think he would never notice if you guys were doing it IN HIS HOUSE???

That's what you get for lying and breaking a promise. Karma. You deserve it.

Seriously? You had sex in your parents house four hours after lying through your teeth to your dad and accepting a gift in bad faith? What sort of stupid **** are you?

#20 isn't saying tell your father you're already doing it, SHE is saying OP is a special kind of stupid for doing it in her parents house directly after accepting the PURITY ring (as someone else already pointed out) as for the grow a spine comment, no, best not to just pat Pa Dukes on the leg smile and say "too late, sorry"

Seriously, why would you even agree to wear a promise ring if you knew you weren't going to wait till marriage? Grow a spine.

#21, your comments show me why I am losing faith in humanity you ******* retard. It doesn't matter if she wants to have sex or not. The issue is, is that she lied to her father. I have no sympathy for a liar, especially a child who doesn't care about her parents feelings. I hope you feel like a terrible person because that is what you are.

Maybe having sex when your parents are home is a dumb idea. Think of that?
