Love: Today, I asked my girlfriend what she thought of us getting married...

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

Today, my girlfriend of 3 years confessed that at first, she'd only dated me to get her friend jealous, and that even now, she "only kind of liked" me. I bought a ring only a few days ago, and was planning on proposing to her. FML

Today, I asked my girlfriend to marry me. She said no because she doesn't want to be tied down for the rest of her life. We already have 3 children, a mortgage, and joint bank accounts. How much more tied down could we possibly get? FML

Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him by handing me a ring and telling me, "Okay we're engaged now." I should have seen it coming when we started dating, I went to his house one night and as I was leaving he said, "Okay you're my girlfriend now." FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 3 years. I checked the box with the ring to make sure it was still there, and saw a piece of paper in it. It said, "No." 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.

So she's a bitch because she gave him her honest opinion about marriage without knowing he had the ring hidden in his pocket. Riiiiiiiight.

:( wow. that sucks. however at least NOW you know, and not after you gave her the ring and all (sounds like the girl who wouldn't give it back if she broke off the engagement).

I think you should have talked about marriage a little more before you bought a ring. or just grow some balls and pop the question instead of walking right into that kind of answer.

You shouldn't pop the question (or buy a ring, jeez lol) unless you've discussed the possibility of marriage with her. And FYI, I don't fear commitment. I fear women who would take advantage of such commitment. Something to keep in mind for the ones who spout the 'marriage? RUN' garbage about men.
