Love: Foot in mouth

Foot in mouth

By FootInMouth - 20/01/2015 19:16 - South Africa

Today, I made fun of a friend at a dinner party after he forgot to put his engagement ring on. It turned out his fiancée actually ended the engagement last week, and everyone thinks I was being spiteful just because the girl is my ex. FML

Today, my fiancée handed me her engagement ring back and told me she felt like she's pressuring me into marriage, so to make me feel better about it we’re no longer engaged. On top of this, I found out she’s started talking to her ex again. 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 was invited to a party to celebrate my ex-fiancée's recent engagement. The party is at work, because my ex is also my boss. Her new fiancée is some guy she met while on a "business trip" that happened while we were still engaged. FML

Today, I discovered my fiancé has been telling everyone else we are just friends, yet last night he wanted me to go with him to pick up my engagement ring. I'm supposing the wedding will be a surprise to everyone. FML

Not the one

Today, an ex-boyfriend of mine came to the jewelry store I work at to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The same guy who just a few months earlier ended our 8-year relationship because I wanted marriage and he didn't. FML

Today, I called off my engagement with my now ex-girlfriend. Yesterday, while drunk at a get-together with all our friends, she admitted she's still in love with her best friend, and only went out with me to forget about him, but is still pining for him anyway. She doesn't understand why that factoid might upset me. FML

Today, I was at a party and spent the whole night bragging to my friends about how I thought this girl was totally into me. As we were leaving, we saw the same girl making out with my ex. FML

No, no foot in mouth. You didn't know they ended it, and you probably would've said the said thing if it were any other girl anyway.

I don't see the YDI in this, how would OP just magically know why the person wasn't wearing his ring?

If he'd known, it'd be a YDI.

It's not your fault nobody told you, apologize and tell him you didn't know. Problem solved.

I am curious as to why the friend had an engagement ring. I mean it's not traditional for males to wear an engagement ring. So it is weird to notice that.

Yes. It is. Men don't wear engagement rings.

11, most men don't, but nothing is wrong if a man wants to wear one.

This needs a follow-up. Dependent upon what you said and how you said it you could have very well deserved. We don't know why or how you and your ex broke up. There is definitely more to this esp considering it's about an engagement between your ex and a friend of yours.
