Proposal, Engagement ring, Romantic and Love: Swoon

Swoon

Today, my boyfriend said he wanted to marry me. Since he doesn't know my ring size, he asked for me to find a ring that I liked, and he would buy it and propose. The only problem is that he won't spend more than 200 dollars on it. Oh, the generosity. FML

Today, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML

Classy guy

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

It's about the love, not the ring.

$200 is way more than you should spend on a ring anyway. YDI for valuing the ring over the love!

God really? Are you going to be that bitchy about this? It is about the love he has for you, not the damn piece of metal you have on you grubby little finger. You should be glad he is proposing to you. I would have called off the deal if I were him.

Wow, materialistic much. My fiancé and I have been engaged for 9 months and neither of us have a token yet. We're waiting until we both have enough money and then we've set a budget of £200 each. Sure, it won't get me a flashy diamond to show off to all my friends but I don't need him to spend 3 months salary on me to prove that he loves me. Grow up. If he's worth marrying, don't come on here to bitch about how cheap he is. If he isn't worth marrying, bitch away but don't make out that it's his wallet that is to blame.

"...he needs to spend more dollars ont the ring" Why doesn't SHE spend more dollars on an engagement ring and propose to him? WHY does the man have to spend as much money as possible? Why doesn't she spend her savings on an engagement? Why is it bad to put a limit on how much he'll spend for something that nobody really gives a shit about? And by nobody, I mean nobody other than the woman and her fiance. It's a ******* ring. $200 seems more than enough for a ring.

WOW! How is this a FML??? Are you a gold digger? My wedding set I got at Kmart for 70% off and they are the most beautiful rings in the world, if you think a diamond is worth more than love than you are not ready for a commitment...this is not a FML, this is a spoiled azz bitch & moan fest thrown by someone is so materialistic that they would much rather have a ring that costs thousands of dollars than to have the love of a good solid man...just be grateful that there is someone who would actually care about you, you make me laugh

You need a slap, sorry but all you are seeing is $'s obvs. Yes there are ways to find out your ring size, but he wants to marry you and loves you is that not enough?? Plus you can pick your own ring and it's be something you like, OKAY it will not be big dimonds costing thousands of $'s but its something and it's not like he is telling you to buy it yourself and proposing in a Mc D's drive thru. So get over yourself and stop being a brat! FML hardly.
