thus concludes: you are a total *****

your username has 1991 in it... so you're 18 and getting engaged? eh.

aww. i'm sorry. :(

Does anyone ever end their FML stories with "so i told him off" or " i broke up with him"? Not really they only stay the shitty thing that happened and thats it. He probably said "well honey i cant afford it so maybe we shouldnt be engaged right now and just be gf/bf till i can. Here are some reasons 1.I would bet money hes the one that said he just wanted to be gf/bf again because that means if SHE said it, the fml would end with the ball in her court " so i broke up with him till he can afford me" and do fmls ever end that way? I havent seen alot 2. If he really lost his job, wouldnt that be included in the story? People always like to make things super dramatic, and who would leave that out of a good story? 3. If he felt bad, why didnt he get a replacement for her? Guys know girls are sentamental, he should have known it would upset her, so he should have proposed again with the new cheaper ring or a silver promise band,or did something to make her feel better 4. How long will a jewelry story still take back rings, if it was bought recently enough for them to be able to return it, why cant they exchange it for a cheaper one. Everyone is saying you can get a nice looking ring for cheap, so why cant he do that? Is he in dept, that he needs the money hes already spent on it back too? If you care about someone and your about to do somehting that will upset them, dont you usually want to do something else to make them feel better? Doesnt he have a class ring she can wear, a promise band from walmart that costs 20$ something geez

You do know you can be engaged withOUT a ring? If the two of you are really in love. Apparently not though. Sorry you suck so much. (He's not though. ;D ) Sorry! Had to make that joke.

I never understand the point to engagement rings. They cost at least £1000 just for the sake of it... Massive waste of money which could instead go into starting your new lives together. Get him to buy you a nice cheap ring.. then voila! You're engaged again as if by magic.

a ring doesn't mean anything

I call bullshit the exact same thing happened on that 70's show

A woman that places money as a priority in a relationship is a shallow bitch. You probably begged him to get married when he wasn't ready anyway.

If he bit off more than he could chew with that purchase, just imagine what a crappy life partner he will be. He sounds irresponsible ( lack of budgeting skills), immature ( gave you a gift and then ducks out on payment), and inconsiderate ( left the whole thing on your shoulders). if you guys ever want kids, it's not like you will want to jump right back to work after labor. You probably won't be making money for those weeks of recuperating and taking care of a newborn. And he'll be as reliable as ever, letting the bills go unpaid because of a 'spontaneous' discovery of his inability to pay. Pathetic. If this is how he handles feeling financially overwhelmed (just suddenly drop the weight on your shoulders and run), just imagine how he'll handle it when marriage becomes overwhelming. He gave a gift and then told you to pay for it. This is the tip of the iceberg, a sign of things to come. Be glad you're not trapped with him yet.    Dump his slimy ass. FYL but...YDI if you stay with that pig.
