Today, my boyfriend of five years finally asked me to marry him. He said, "We could save on taxes if we got married… What do you think?" That was the most romantic thing he's said to me in the last two years. 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 of over 2 years said he wants to get married before he leaves for basic training. Not because he loves me, but because he'll get paid more if he's married. This is the only time he's been excited about marriage. FML

Not gonna lie, I'd probably smack my guy if he said that... Just ouch. Not even CLOSE to a good reason to get married.

It makes sense, but...no. That's WRONG.

Why is this a FYL? Financial reasons are one of the best reasons to get married. I mean, the legal framework is really the only difference between married and just seriously dating/ living together.

Agree with 24 and 27. As long as you care for him, what does it matter? People have gotten married for less, and stayed married for a long time. Your boyfriend may not be a romantic, but if you love each other, what's the difference?

Baha #15. You should say no. But just out of curiosity you should ask him if that was the ONLY reason he asked to marry you, maybe the foundation of your relationship isn't what you think it is. I would want to know how serious it really is. good luck x
