Today, I found out that the money my boyfriend has "secretly" been putting away for the last two months is not for an engagement ring like I'd thought, but for a trip to Vegas I'm not invited to. FML

Today, I found out my boyfriend is booking my dream vacation to Bali with his brothers, 6 months after he told me we couldn't go on vacation this year because he doesn’t have the money. They planned this within a week. I had been planning it with him for months. 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

Today, my fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML

Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML

why did you assume your boyfriend had been saving up for a ring in the first place?

First, it's his money to do with as he sees fit. You're not married so you have no claim unless you're living together and/or have children. Second, if he wanted to keep it "secret" then he clearly didn't want you to know. We now know that it was because it involved a trip without you. Seems to me he was trying to spare you the hurt of feeling left out or to spare himself of making it all about you. Third, unless he made a hint/suggestion that it was for an engagement ring...you shouldn't have allowed yourself to think it was. It's not only presumptuous, but also rude and awkward. You may be ready for that next step but he might not be and to put ANY sort of pressure/expectations on him isn't right.
