Love: Today, I decided to ask my girlfriend of 3 years to marry me....

Today, I decided to ask my girlfriend of 3 years to marry me. I made brownies with walnuts and put an engagement ring into the brownie I gave her. Not only did she choke on the ring, but on the way to the emergency room, I find out she is highly allergic to walnuts. FML

Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend of 4 years. I took the whole day to cook a nice meal, and stuck the ring in a cookie that I was going to give to her. In the middle of the dinner I was holding the cookie under the table, about to give it to her. My dog ate it. FML

Today, I wanted to propose to my girlfriend, so I bought M&M's which I had customized with the words "Will you marry me?" on them. She ate them all without reading them. FML

Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend to a very nice restaurant. I thought it would be a good place to pop the question. I gave the ring to the waiter and asked him to put it on her dessert plate. When she saw it she picked it up, put it down and said "no". Then she started to eat the dessert. FML

Today, I forgot my boyfriend was allergic to nuts and ate Nutella toast before he arrived. He had just brought me flowers for doing well in an exam and I kissed him. He had a reaction and I had to stab him in the leg. FML

Yes or No?

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes, but the ring turned out to be quite tight on her finger. She then chewed me out, saying that I can't do anything right, then changed her answer to no. FML

Today, it was my 17th birthday. I didn't want my family to spend money on a cake, so my dad made this delicious apple ring. At least, it was great until my mouth began to itch and my throat closed. I have been allergic to nuts since birth, and my dad put walnuts in my birthday cake. FML

Today, my fiancée and I were selecting our wedding cake. The wedding is now off since I refused to buy her the "dream" wedding cake she wanted because it was chocolate. She called me childish and cheap. I'm highly allergic to chocolate. FML

Today, I gave my boyfriend a box of chocolates as a present. A few hours later, he texted me saying that the box of chocolates contained nuts. He's allergic to nuts and his mother now thinks I'm trying to kill him. FML

Anyone want to take bets that 67 is the OP, trying to defend his stupidity by coming up with a lie about "his" own allergies that is equally stupid. Quite apart from the fact that the poster is using a mostly male dominated name, insulting females because they aren't happy with the thought of being given a proposal that has absolutely no chance of anything less than an ER visit, he's taking quite an unusual haughty defense to the fact that people are calling the utter stupidity on the stupid idea in the post instead of saying its a sweet, wonderful idea. Not something one typically removed from the sitaution would do

Thanks for proving my point Jim/Alex. You are WAAAAYYY to emotionally invested in this issue. And you clearly don't understand food issues if you think only people who go into Anaphylactic shock are the ones who need to be careful. Even people with a mild allergy to dairy (as in my bf's case) need to ask at every meal they have in a restaurant Also, if you browse around my comments here you will find that I am an epileptic. In fact, its me you are imitating - epilepsy, food intolerance, boyfriend with gluten intolerance/food allergies. If you are going to pick a poster to imitate, you should at least not pick the poster you are conversing with, dontcha think? lol. I bet you don't even know what MAD means

People always say "YDI for not knowing!" for things like this...but honestly, it's not like it's normal to grill someone on their allergies. She sucks for not telling him that sort of thing, it's not his fault. But yeah, YDI for putting the ring in a brownie.
