You should have waited until you could in person and two years of knowing someone for me at least is too soon maybe not for you but that might have been the problem

Ouch, harsh :(

Hey everyone, first I was shocked to find my FML up here, then I started to read the comments. I just had to create an account in order to reply, I wanted to set a few things straight. I did things this way because she never made any fuss about any anniversaries and always told me it was the little gestures that counted. She always went nuts for little surprises (once I left concert tickets in her desk drawer, another time it was a brochure in one of her books). She liked sweet gestures, not grand performances. We had discussed spending our lives together, but not specifically marriage. Maybe we had different thoughts in our heads. I had considered the day off, but she had decided to work too that day, but she works from home on a different schedule, so I decided to do everything I usually do in the morning so she wouldn't suspect anything until she saw it. We had planned on me cooking a nice dinner after work, and going to a play she'd wanted to see. Maybe I should have waited until then, I really thought this would be more her speed though. It wasn't a wimpy letter, it was a full, handwritten six page confession of love and how much I wanted to be with her for the rest of our lives. The ring was in one of those black fabric boxes like in the movies. For those of you that wonder what happened to it, at first she took it, but I guess someone convinced her otherwise because it arrived in my mailbox in an envelope this morning. The breakfast was gone, and the dishes were cleaned and put away as though she'd never been there. I haven't talked to her. I tried calling a few times but she wont pick up. Her friends deny all involvement. I hope she'll call me back or pick up soon. Then we can try and figure out what went wrong, if it was the way I proposed or the fact I did. Thanks for posting my FML people, and for your comments, the good, the bad, and the funny, especially the funny.

If my boyfriend proposed to me without being there in person (possibly excluding long distance relationships) I would be offended. It would tell me that its not even worth his taking a day off, or doing it after work, or whatever. He couldn't be bothered to stick around to propose and I'm supposed to say yes to him? I probably wouldn't just leave, but there is a pretty good chance I would break up with him.

I'm so sorry. :(

"by forever alone" oh god, you deserved it for using that godawful meme you ******* ****

Did she take the ring too? I hope not!

To be honest OP that was messed up of her leaving you like that. Don't worry there's more fish in the sea.

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear that, OP

What about the breakfast?
