Today, my girlfriend of 3 years confessed that at first, she'd only dated me to get her friend jealous, and that even now, she "only kind of liked" me. I bought a ring only a few days ago, and was planning on proposing to her. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years. She bitched me out for not getting the ring she had been "hinting" me to get, and angrily left. FML

Today, I asked my girlfriend what she thought of us getting married some day. She said she wasn't sure about me yet and that we may want to go in different directions soon. We've been dating for three years and I had the ring in my pocket at the moment. FML

Today, my girlfriend confessed that she was scared that she was more in love with me than I was in her, and that she was afraid I would leave her. So she left me instead. I'd been thinking about proposing. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She asked if the ring was a temporary thing until I got a better one, saw my dumbfounded face, then played it off as a joke and said yes. I later found out she'd posted on Facebook bitching about the ring, but with the privacy setting set to hide it from me. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. FML

Today, my girlfriend of six years burst into tears and said yes repeatedly when I presented her with a ring. I then had to explain that it was a promise ring, not an engagement ring. She looked me in the eye and dumped me on the spot. Apparently, promise rings are for teenagers, not couples in their thirties. FML

Today, I finally made the last payment on the beautiful engagement ring I bought and proposed with - two years ago. To my ex-girlfriend, who said no and promptly started sleeping with one of my friends. FML

Today, I found out that my girlfriend of almost four years was breaking up with me when she captioned an Instagram post saying, "Who else besides me is going into 2018 single?" I had already bought an engagement ring. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML

Nah. You just need to find better people to put your trust into. I know plenty of girls that I can trust, and guys that date them trust them also. Not all girls are like that, not all guys are like that.

WHO-HO-HOA, hold on a sec there, buddy. Did you honestly just say that you believe that most girls are like the girl in this FML? Really? You have obviously been hanging around the wrong women. There are just as many kind, nice, rad women out there as there are men. It seems you are just not looking in the right places. Don't generalize so many billions of people like that. :O

Just keep the ring and wait for the right girl. Now you have a ring so don't lose it

don't keep the ring. return in for a full refund. hope you kept the receipt. what are the chances the next female you decide to propose to has the same exact ring size?

vgameson 0

Monday 28 March 2011 6:45

yeah cause it's impossible to get a ring sized

I would agree with "don't keep the ring," but mostly because when you find another woman to propose to that loves you, she would appreciate you picking out a ring that is specific to her and is what you think she'd like, not a ring you'd previously purchased for another girl. It'll mean more if she knows you picked it out with only her in mind.

it doesn't matter what the ring looks like or who you bought it for it's who you give it to that counts.

my husband could have proposed to me with a ring that came out of a 25 cent machine and it still wouldn't have made any difference to me. it's like a ring handed down for generations it wasn't bought for you but it doesn't make it any less special.

it's just common sense to return the ring he just bought for a full refund. to give the same ring to your next girl would be nothing short of tacky as he I assume he worked hard to pick out the ring for her not his future girlfriend. who wants a constant reminder anyways

Rings handed down in the family and a ring you picked out for your ex have extremely different sentiments. If you and your fiancé don't care for fancy rings, that's fine, but I am assuming since he bought a ring for this girl that he may want to have a ring for the right woman as well, and I personally think a different ring would make more sense and be more thoughtful.
