Love: Today, I found a ring box in the pocket of my boyfriend's pants...

Today, I found a ring box in the pocket of my boyfriend's pants while doing laundry. I eagerly walked up to him knowing that it was an engagement ring, hoping that he would propose on the spot. He tossed it back to me and said, "Well you found it, I don't actually have to ask now, right?" 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 out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Panic on the streets of Sydney

Today, I thought the ring my boyfriend bought for me had fallen off while emptying the trash into the bin. After panicking and emptying a week's worth of rubbish onto the ground, I found my ring safe and sound. On my other hand. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." FML

I think OP does deserve it, she totally ruined his plans, she should have just put it back in the pocket and kept her mouth shut.

Feel free to tell him the answer us "No!" Now that he's proven himself to be an insensitive boob. (Yep. I said boob)

Good job on ruining a big moment! Should've just put it somewhere that he usually puts items that's hidden. Can't expect another reaction when you come at him like that!

Did you really expect him to ask you legitimately? You should've informed him you were going to be doing laundry and asked him to make sure he checked his pockets beforehand. You ruined his plans, so he was probably not too happy about you just nonchalantly walking up and announcing you found it. I wouldn't have asked you, either. YDI for being insensitive, OP. You should've put it back where you found it and let his plan take course. Your expectations revolved around your excitement & disregarded his.

Wow way to ruin what could have been a wonderful suprise. You should have at least acted like you didn't know about it!

That was dumb and selfish of you to ruin his plans. You should have put it back in his jacket and pretend you hadn't seen it

Why would you even think about ruining that!? Why not just put it back so he doesn't know that you know! You ruined the while surprise! I'd been pissed if my fiancé had done that! So ydi! Sorry.
