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

Oi. That sucks. But hey, it's okay. It's just a ring. It's not like he took back his proposal.

I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a reply. You're being so harsh these days. Maybe you should try your hand at trolling.

I'm sorry. It's just some people are so irrational and ignorant that I find it hard pressed to stay a cut above lol. I envy you for not conforming with them. :P ________________________ www.myspace.com/rapid99

Ok look we don't know the true reason or discussion that brought it on. Maybe the mom is having a major surgery, or maybe she has debt collectors and no way to pay either off. Yes it is a major action he is taking, but I doubt the mother specifically asked for her son to sell the ring. I believe that was his own action on his own accord, so let's not jump to conclusions. _____________________ www.myspace.com/rapid99

wow, the mother is really selfish! agree with #123. it is not ok for her to ask her son for enough money that he has to take back the engagement ring he just bought his fiance to provide for her. that's crossing the line.

obviously, his mom would have known that he was proposing to her that day. and a truely loving mother would have waited or had brought it up before the proposal. a need of money doesnt come up just like that. and since she did call him right when she knew he was proposing to her she is most likely the manipulative bitch type who is just trying to mess with her future daughter and law, who should dump him immediatly because he will always be a mamas boy which is definatly not good for a marriage.

I think you guys are missing the point. It's not about the value of the ring. It's about the fact that he bought the ring, proposes, calls his mom, and her first reaction is to a) bitch about how selfish he was to buy an engagement ring when SHE needed money, and b) actually have to gall to tell him to sell the ring, and c) he actually agrees to do so!! This guy is a true momma's boy and it's a taste of what is to come for his fiancee. Normal (sane and rational) mothers do not behave like that to their grown children! So yeah I think it's definitely a FYL.

Be grateful he proposed at all! Don't be so selfish, babe. Also, be glad he cares that much about his mom, to have enough balls to ask you for the ring back! a man treats his wife the same way he treats his mother!

Be grateful he proposed at all? What is that supposed to mean? Why should she be grateful for that? It's like saying "He lasted 2 min in bed"."Be grateful he got it up".

I hope you kept the ring! **** that shit. And if she needs money so bad she should get a job or take out a loan!

obviously not, he's dissing his fiance to please his mother. if the situation was that he was willing to help his mom out by getting rid of his OWN stuff, then yea he's a selfless guy. but instead, he thinks its ok to take back a gift that represents his love for her and give it to his mom. how messed up is that? see its not so much the physical object, its what that object stands for and what his actions say about it.
