Where did you get that they were dating for 2 weeks?

I read the comments

86 - The person who said that wasn't OP.

I also read the comments. As the other person pointed out that wasn't OP. I would like to know though how long they have been together would give people a bit more clearer picture of the situation.

oh. I guess I didn't notice it wasn't OP. then I too would like to know how ling they've been together.

I agree that it is stupid to spend a lot of money on a ring. I expect my guy to spend $50, tops. But your friend kind of deserves to be bitched at for driving a clunker. He sold his car because she demanded it? I realize that love is blind and it can make you do stupid things, but she sounds high maintenance and he sounds like he puts up with and encourages it.

Oh I agree fully. He shouldn't have done it. But if course everyone's answer is "it's just a car he should love his wife more than his car" but she should never had made him do that and he shouldn't be so submissive to her demands. She is extremely controlling and manipulative I disapprove if their marriage 100% because she mistreats him but he doesn't see it that way and he loves her so I guess that's his decision to make and if he's happy I guess that's all that matters.

Oh, hell no. My car is my baby. I commented above about winning two bikes, selling them, and using the money to buy a cheaper bike and pay bills. My ex boyfriend sounds like he might be related to your friend, because I got bitched at for not giving him the bike and being a good girlfriend and paying off HIS debt when I had my own. I am now living comfortable, debt free (except minor things like phone bills and rent), and he is living with his mother $50,000 in the hole. I hate controlling men and women.

Yea if you won those bikes they were yours to sell, especially if as in your previous comment, you two did not live together not share expenses. If you guys had entered together maybe I can see him wanting them, but you said you bought a cheaper bike so you still got a bike out if the deal. And a ton of money! I'd love the bikes but sometimes you gotta do what's smart. I'd sell that ring too, I'd tell my bf to sell it. But the fact that its specifically an engagement ring would put idea into a persons head no matter how hard they tried not to. If OP's bf was not planning on proposing he should have avoided that specific contest or made it super clear it was just for the prize and nothing to do with her that he's not ready for marriage. Or who knows maybe he is ready and is using the money from this to achieve that. If this FML is just about wanting the expensive ring OP is being selfish, if its about being hurt that she had reasonable expectations of a proposal than yes FHL.

I can totally understand being upset. I won a trip to Hawaii one time, and gave it to my friend as a wedding present because she could not afford the trip herself. They used it as a honeymoon. My mother got mad because she always wanted to go to Hawaii and thought, without asking me if I would let her have the tickets, that we were going to go as a mother-daughter time. She ended up being really upset when we could not go. But she understood, when I explained why I did it. So, now, when I do enter a contest and someone wants the prize, they always ask me before getting their hopes up. I have yet to win again, the bikes and Hawaii seem to be my good luck for life. But yeah, the boyfriend should have communicated with her.

#90 I think the while reason OP is hurt is because he didn't make it clear in the first place. He entered a contest to win an engagement ring, she obviously knew about this. Then instead if proposing sold it.. If he had told her he was entering the contest just for the cash off the prize there would be no FML here.

@149. It's actually quite possible he never told OP he entered the compitition. He could have just randomly entered it for the hell of it, without even thinking he was going to win it. So when he won it he was like oh sweet and told his GF he had won because he was excited to have won something like this. The whole impression I got from this was that on the day he won it he didn't propose to OP which is why she is upset because he is selling it instead. There actually isn't enough information in OPs FML for it to be obvious she knew about it.
