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.

I kinda liked 78's comments. Sounds like she has a well-used mind. Honestly, if you two have been together for two years, I doubt consolidating debt is the only thing on his mind. It was probably a joke anyway. You'd know if a guy is serious about that stuff. He doesn't sign his life away to just anyone.

I am a debt cons. and you can't consolidate anything state or federal ( which all student loans are.) This is either fake or u need to tell ur man to find a new consultant

shit like this happens all the time... my cousin (in the navy) married a girl (also in the navy) because you get greater government compensation. basically having a drive-thru wedding netted them bigger incomes, and they can still have romances outside eachother. with the cost of college and the current economy, doing something like this isn't an intangible idea, granted it is a terrible reason to get actually married. coming out of college into a shitty job market with hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt is a terrifying concept, and I'm glad i have a few more years of college before i get into the job market, but getting together to save some money is a decent idea. that concept works best when the people aren't romantically attached though, and that kinda sucks if that is his only motivation toward proposing.

ok so i feel like there is a shit ton of this post being left out. no one in the history of proposals has said "marry me please so we can consolidate our loans" you probably just drew that inference because he's been worrying about his student loans and you probably have none, so you just assume that why he asked. Congrats OP you're a cold heartless bitch.
