Today, my sister broke up with her boyfriend of 4 years because he hadn't "popped" the question. I've just spent the last 2 months helping him plan the perfect proposal. FML

Seething jealousy

Today, my sister, who has been seeing a guy for a year, got engaged. I've been dating my boyfriend for over 5 years and let out some not so subtle hints and he basically refused to propose. This is her second marriage in the time of my relationship. FML

Today, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me because I hadn't popped the question to her yet. For the last six months, I have been respectfully trying to convince her over protective father to give me his blessing. FML

Today, at my birthday party in an expensive sushi restaurant that I spent hundreds of dollars to reserve, my boyfriend of 3 years proposed… to my sister. She said yes. They’ve been secretly seeing each other for the past year. She just graduated high school this past summer. FML

Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. 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 sister asked me if I was going to be getting married "for real" this time, because she didn't want to waste her money like she did on my previous engagement. The reason that one didn't work out in the first place is because she slept with my fiancé. FML

Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML

This isn't your fault, or the boyfriend's. Your sister is a selfish little bitch. She could have asked him if she was so impatient. By the way, if she really did want to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him, then why couldn't she wait a while longer? Obviously she didn't love him that much if she can just toss him aside like that over something stupid. He's better off without her.

Well it all depends on whether or not he was proposing because he wanted to marry her, or because she kept bitching at him about it. Judging by her action, I'd say it was the latter and this is his lucky day.

I say this is a good "out" for the boyfriend. Your sister is a bitch, and he was lucky to get away clean.

Yeah, exactly. How is this an FML?!?! Is it your fault? No. Could you have done anything? No. So let him post this, not you. This is most definitely an FHL.

Did she talk to him about getting married and how she had a time limit? .... Damn. What's the freakin' rush with marriage!? Good for him and good riddance. Your sis is a selfish brat. She wasn't in love with him to just let him go like that. I have friends that have married a couple of months after their 10 year anniversary.

thats the stupidest reason to dump someone. if she really liked him, she would stay with him, ring or not. thats probably her way of hinting to him to propose... she's stupid.
