Today, I received a "diamond ring" in Mafia Wars (a facebook app) from my boyfriend of 3 years. Along with the ring came a message. It read, "Will you marry me?" He was serious. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I wasn't expecting anything too romantic, but I would have liked something more than an email from Facebook, requesting my confirmation that we were engaged. FML

Today, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML

Today, my very cheap boyfriend of four years proposed. I was overwhelmed with emotion, since he bought such a huge, seemingly-diamond ring. I was later overwhelmed with emotion when my finger turned green. FML

Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML

Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML

Today, I got a card from the jewelry store thanking me for purchasing an engagement ring a year ago and wishing me and my fiancée a long and everlasting marriage. Too bad my fiancée took off with the pizza delivery boy 6 months ago. FML

The proposal

Today, I was at my boyfriend's house with his family. A kitten walked over to me with an engagement ring tied to its collar, along with a note that said "Marry Me?" I got super excited, only to find out that it was for his brother's girlfriend of 10 months, not me. We've been together 4 years. 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

Isn't that a good thing? I mean, yeah it's not an expensive restaurant and real ring ... but I think it's sweet and almost romantic. :)

Don't post a FML because you are sad you didn't get some multi-thousand dollar ring. He could've given you nothing, like some people on here get. lol

Interesting. I hope you gave an honest answer. Plus even if you didn't like the proposal style, he HAS to get rings for the wedding...right? (Assuming your religion doesn't do it differently. In which case, why are you complaining? The ring means nothing)

I'm going to have to go against the grain on this one and say I think the whole "facebook proposal" thing is kinda tacky. Cute, and he probably had a real ring somewhere, but still. That's just me. Plus, if you didn't want to get married to him, or wanted to wait a while, you'd have to turn him down in front of everyone on your facebook or not reply at all (in which case they would still know something was up).

you deserve it. if youve been out with him for three years, it shouldnt be surprising. and if you cant stand things like that, you shouldve dumped him a while ago.

I question how well the social lives are of the females saying it's cute.

You'd think that people would learn to be grateful for random, meaningful things that make their loved ones unique. But, nooo. Let's complain about someone trying something different.
