Today, my boyfriend proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML

Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. 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 fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML

Today, my boyfriend said he wanted to marry me. Since he doesn't know my ring size, he asked for me to find a ring that I liked, and he would buy it and propose. The only problem is that he won't spend more than 200 dollars on it. Oh, the generosity. FML

I hope you didn't loan him the 40 dollars! What a creep (and an idiot for telling you about the ring being at a pawn shop, lol).

They only loaned him $40 for the ring? That's some cheap-ass shit in the first place... besides you getting the hand-me-down.

But he obviously doesn't love his ex anymore... that is all over.

Sorry i meant to say: But he obviously doesn't love his ex anymore... that is all over. Sure, it's a hand me down ring from her... but i'm sure he's poor so can't afford anything else. If you're bitching it's from his ex... he is over her [if not, then obv you can't marry him..]! It's not what the ring used to mean but what it means now. If you're bitching it's cheap... you should know he's poor, you know he can't afford anything/ or is a cheapskate. If not maybe you should get to know him better...
