Today, as I got down on one knee, and was in the middle of saying, "Will you marry me?" my partner answered a text message. Apparently it was more important. FML

Today, my boyfriend got on one knee and started talking about how we met. Knowing what was coming, I started tearing up, absolutely sure he was going to propose. Just as I was about to say yes, he quickly stood up and yelled "HAH, JUST KIDDING". FML

Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML

Today, was trying to have an adult conversation with my fiancée but she's always on her phone, so I sent her a text message instead. Relationship goals. FML

Today, I was walking through the park when I saw a guy getting down on one knee to propose. As I passed by, I gave a big thumbs up and loudly said, "You got this!" He was actually tying his shoe. No one else was actually even there with him. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. I said yes. This caused him to panic, excuse himself, then take it back via text message a half hour later, claiming he'd been drunk. We live together. When he comes back home, it's going to be very awkward indeed. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I wasn't expecting anything too romantic, but I would have liked something more than an email from Facebook, requesting my confirmation that we were engaged. FML

I REALLY hope she just completely didn't realize what you were doing. For your sake, if you really love her, I hope it was an honest mistake and she said yes. If not, I agree with everyone else- ******* dump her ass. A girl is supposed to freak out and be super excited when her boyfriend proposes.

Don't marry such an insensitive bitch. Oh wait, you should have know about her personality before you tried proposing. YDI

I love how everyone is ganging up on the girl, Maybe she didn't realize he was proposing? I mean if he said Will, and she got a text that maybe she was waiting for all day and expecting something important ya it is important.

#69: I thought of that too. However, the question is why did she even read the incoming message after he had already started proposing? If she had started reading the message before he started the proposal, then surely he would have noticed and waited for her to finish before starting? Unless he's a complete ... hmmm... And if she was sort of watching her phone in case an important text came through saying her mother had just died (surely, people would ring?!?) then OP would be way out of line even starting a proposal at such a time. Assuming OP is not such an idiot (not an insignificant assumption) to start a proposal when someone is in the middle of reading a text message, or waiting for a message about the death of a relative, then the girl really was out of line.
