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

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 proposed with the perfect ring, restaurant, flowers, and champagne. He’s never been this well prepared for anything in his life, so he admitted that my mother planned the whole thing and forced him to propose, even though neither of us want to get married. She even bought the 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

I picked my own ring and don't think it was a big deal. Worked fine for me.

But you didn't tell everyone your fiancé bought it for you did you

24: He wants her to buy her own engagement ring. Not just pick it, and also take credit for the ring himself. A couple things not fine with that.

Hell no...dont do that. if you have to pick it and he purchases it fine. but if he expects you to purchase it. thats a no go

Saturday 11 April 2015 12:19

actually, the no go for me would be that he wants to take credit for it.. that's low.

He's definitely not a man. He doesn't deserve to be your boyfriend. He shouldn't be your husband. But there is a "ring" of truth to what he says here, he will let you do all the work in the relationship and take all the credit for it. This is not a partnership. Run Forrest, run!!

Ask him to buy it and you'll give him the money the next day. And once you've got it.. KICK HIS SWEET ASS BACK TO TEXAS

How old are you? If you're 18 or something I'd get him since studying costs a lot of money

Today, my girlfriend won't stop complaining about the recent lack of intimacy in our relationship. There's an easy solution to this problem, but I'm currently covered in poison ivy rashes and she refuses to let me touch her until they clear up. Guess I'd better get used to itching and whining. FML

Today, I went out with this girl I really liked and she came back to my place. Things were heating up and we ended up having sex. I was on top and really into it but in the middle of it she held up her wrist and said, "Huh, look at the time, I gotta get home." She wasn't wearing a watch. FML

Today, I grounded my son for being a smart ass. Now he can't go to the cub scout campout this weekend. He's been howling, sobbing, stomping, slamming and screaming for about three continuous hours. I am not sure who this punishment has inflicted more suffering on: my son or me. FML

Today, my coworker brought her 3-year-old son to work with her. When introducing him to me, she dropped her bag and bent over to pick it up, knocking him over with her butt in the process. When she stood up, she noticed he was sitting on the ground crying. She then accused me of pushing him over. FML
