Today, after 14 years of relationship, him forgetting every anniversary and birthday, and being disloyal several times, my boyfriend offered to buy us friendship rings. Because I according to him, I seem to care for such gestures, and it would fix our problems. 14 years. FML

Today, it was my 14-year anniversary. I'd spent weeks picking out a new gold wedding band for my husband. What did he get me? Nothing. Not even a happy anniversary text. FML

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, the ex of my boyfriend of 18 months called me and put her phone in her purse. I heard my boyfriend say he's sick of me, he hasn't been happy for a year, and he's afraid to leave because he feels sorry for me. He bought her a ring. I got earrings. FML

Today, it's our fifth-year anniversary with my boyfriend. I gave him his gift and walked over to the kitchen to serve him some food I'd made. On my way back to the dining room, I overheard his plans with his friend to ditch me in 10 minutes. 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, 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, that after 7 years together, he is no longer in love with me. Shocked and appalled, I ask him if he has anything else to add. "Happy Birthday". FML

I’m just confused why you’ve spent 14 years with a guy like this. You deserve so much better. throw that “friendship” ring in the trash where it belongs, and toss the guy along with it

If you have put up with this guy for 14 years, YDI.

Well, putting you in the Friend Zone would fix his problems, to be sure. A 14-year journey to get there is a long way to go for so little.

Well, you haven't left after 14 years of thoughtlessness, so clearly you've trained him to believe the tiniest thought is extra.

You should’ve broken up with him a long time ago. He obviously doesn’t care about you much.

So you can confidently name all the bad things he’s done to you, yet you’re still with him? Yeah...enjoy your rings if you’re not gonna leave

Friend, you should’ve dumped him about 13 years and 11 months ago

Doesn't the size of the diamond on that ring make the difference? Assuming that you are American, the impression I get from American tv/films that it is the measure of all measures in North America.
