Today, I asked my girlfriend what she thought of us getting married some day. She said she wasn't sure about me yet and that we may want to go in different directions soon. We've been dating for three years and I had the ring in my pocket at the moment. FML

In retrospect, perhaps you should've asked her that question a while back. At least BEFORE you bought the ring.

Well, no kidding. People can be really dumb--you should always talk to her about marriage before because you may think that your relationship is TOTALLY different than she thinks it is. Me? I was jokingly chatting with my boyfriend about marriage years before we did it, and I went to pick out my ring with him, so he knew I would say yes and I wouldn't have any second thoughts.

#43 You're ******* stupid. It's not sexism it's bad timing and a wrong assumption. I'll give you credit for being right about the discussion thing but if you legitimately think that your girlfriend is willing to marry you then most men would ask them. I don't know if you're gay or something and I don't care but if you're in a relationship where you communicate on a level where you mutually understand the other person's opinion than most people would assume the right time to pop the question.

Wow #47, adding some homophobia to that sexism. That's real classy. Also, it doesn't matter how good you think you are at interpreting you partner's gestures, just talking about it is a far better option that beating around the bush and expecting your partner to pick up on it, and it's a lot better than assuming your partner is beating around the bush and just going on ahead without any prior notice.

Well sure, he probably should've asked beforehand but apparently he believed she was going to say yes. Hearing that the woman you want to spend your life with thinks about 'going different ways' sucks. Good luck to you man, and cheer up! You'll find another girl that'll be thrilled to marry you.

"I don't know if you're gay or something and I don't care."^^

You hadn't asked her before planning this? Well, now you know. Save the effort of buying the ring or worse, being told no. You probably should have asked early. Good luck to you!

YDI for tipping your hand too soon. You should have just proposed to her right on the spot. But at least you found out the truth before it was too late.

YDI. You ask these things WAY before you get the ring.
