Today, my boyfriend asked me to marry him by handing me a ring and telling me, "Okay we're engaged now." I should have seen it coming when we started dating, I went to his house one night and as I was leaving he said, "Okay you're my girlfriend now." FML
I agree, your life sucks (26123) - you totally deserved it (9604)

(+13)Okay, you're divorced now.
Okay, you're paying alimony now.
Okay, you're a cougar now.
Okay, you're dead now.
Okay, you're a zombie now.

(0)LMFAO!
I think I love you, Twinny. ♥
Reminds me of the whole, you know, K-I-S-S-I-N-G song.
Only more realistic.
Besides the zombies.

(0)How long have you been dating him? You should've already know he wasn't romantic enough for your standards. YDI

(+3)At the altar, he's probably gonna say "okay, we're married now" rather than "I do"

(0)Hahaha that's kind of cute. I mean it may suck now but think about how fun it will be to tell your kids and grandkids how he "asked" xD

(+2)Is that what he says in bed, or what he says after the condom breaks?

(+2)Lmfao. redbluegreen, it's times like these I wish I could give more than one thumbs up.

(+1)If it really bugs you that much, don't marry him; don't even agree to be his fiance; in fact, if it really bugs you, just dump him

(0)FFFFF why is my computer lagging on me.

I shall go give you to thieves that tell me they're not a thief.
(+3)If he actually phrased it that way it seems, well, odd. I agree with #11. Be careful & if he says "Ok, you have no friends but me now" then RUN!

(0)this isn't really an fml, considering you're engaged. it's still cute though
#25 - On 09/22/2009 at 6:39am by stephie_rox
(+2)It is an FML, considering she's engaged, possibly against her will, to a control freak. You really think that's cute?
(+1)You can't really get engaged "against your will". She can still refuse despite what he thinks.

#26 - On 09/22/2009 at 6:46am by jd0g07
(+2)he's just up front
"ok were doing anal"
"ok were having a threesome"
"ok leave me alone with ur sister now"
(+1)You speak as if these were personal fantasies you yourself have.
"Hey there, Delilah, what's it like to have big titties? Every time I fuck your asshole, I imagine Conway Twitty, yes I do.... I fantasize that you're a dude – one who's tattooed..."

(0)Sounds like my fiance. After a few dates he told me, "well, you are my girlfriend now." He said he phrased it that way so I couldn't say no. When he proposed he said, "so I've been meaning to do this for a while now, and I know you're going to like it so we're getting married! you're mine!"
(+1)Well you could have said "No I don't want to". Admit it - you had a choice. :-)
I suspect you actually like the somewhat dominant approach which he's using - which is ok as long as he treats you well otherwise. Don't be a doormat, though.
(0)Now if he had started the evil laughing routine after the proposal then there might have been cause for concern.
(0)Wait did you want to marry him? I get the feeling your fiancé is gonna keep controlling you around for as long as you two are married unless you do something about it. Good luck with him xD
(+1)YDI for staying with him, but if you did, you must like him, so congrats. (If you don't, you're an idiot for not speaking up.)
(0)I'm sure my first boyfriend said something like 'you're my girlfriend now' when I started dating him rather than asking... He was a bastard.
#41 - On 09/22/2009 at 8:08am by catatonicsleep
(+1)That is pretty cute. I think he's probably just shy, and finds it hard to express his feelings.

#44 - On 09/22/2009 at 8:34am by lovin_bigsister
(0)aw thats what i was gonna say. its like reminiscing on your first date. so cute! good luck for your marriage. He'll proabably fuck you in your sleep, then when you wake up, say "ok you're pregnant now" HAHAHA IM FUNNY
#48 - On 09/22/2009 at 9:19am by chronicwanker
(0)If she doesn't like his method, she should have grown a spine the first time it happened. And violence? Um, no. Not even a little bit.
(0)Ok now you're my wife
OK now you're pregnant with my baby
OK now I'm cheating on you
Run for the hills!!
#49 - On 09/22/2009 at 9:28am by mrsocial99mfine
(0)That's insulting, we actually have common sense, you know. If I wanted to get married I wouldn't state it this way. Don't misuse a word like that.
#75 - On 09/22/2009 at 11:03am by arienh4
(+1)ok...... this guy just sounds like a creepier did anyone else picture a half retarded guy in your head while reading this? lol i did... maybe i'm just weird hahahahhahaha. No but really this guy does sorta sound controlling who does that?
#54 - On 09/22/2009 at 9:48am by Polionixon
(0)Your gonna get married, sounds like you really like him, so what's the problem? Doesn't sound like you're complaining, sounds more like you're just saying facts.
(0)What do you base your claims off of? I know it's not the fact that women statistically consistently score higher than men do on IQ tests. It can be said that blanket statements are a sign of ignorance and a mind that only sees things the way what it wants to see them.
(0)Get out now while you can. Guy's a controlling tool.
#65 - On 09/22/2009 at 10:37am by 2FrackinRight
(+2)Correct response:
Yep, we're engaged now.
You're gonna drop all your immature friends now.
You're gonna get a real haircut now.
You're gonna get me a nicer ring now.
You're gonna pay for a big, fancy wedding now.
You're gonna stop listening to your crap music and we're gonna only listen to my music now.
You're gonna get a mini-van now.
You're gonna get me a nice house with a white picket fence now.
(0)My dad did the same thing when he married my mom, not when they were going out though, just when they got married. They've been together for 29 years now.
(0)just imagine when you have sex after you're married... "okay, you're pregnant now."

(-4)Too many negative votes, comment buried. Show the comment.
Are you complaining because you don't want to marry him, or because you're another little spoiled princess that didn't get her engagement fantasy fulfilled by prince charming on his white horse?
I guess I should really start whining now, my boyfriend never really asked me to be his girl at all, we just kept spending time together and saying "I love you" and moved in together after two years. Wah wah that's not good enough for me, let me go post about how terrible my life is on FML.
(0)how about the fact that her boyfriend doesn't think she's entitled to an opinion. It smells of future domestic violence.
(0)I'm not so sure about this one. It could have been adorable but also could have been a doucher move. Personally I might have been upset that's how I was "proposed" to but it's cute and a good story. LOL
(0)I don't see how this is a fml entry......next time try www.mylifeisamazing.com

(0)Yeah I agree with #54. This guy sounds incredibly creepy, not cute.

(0)i think its kinda cute.
it kinda sounds like what little kids would do
#88 - On 09/22/2009 at 2:16pm by superm2813
(0)Kind of sounds like something Spencer would say to Heidi.
#89 - On 09/22/2009 at 2:22pm by scarlett29
(0)Sounds like Papa Lazarou.
"You're MY wife now!"
Seriously though, telling you rather than asking you is a rather bad sign. I'd be more than a little hesitant to go along with what he is essentially treating as his decision. If you said yes, don't let him tell you when and where the wedding will be. These are things you decide together, and if he refuses to allow you to make decisions about your own life and future, get out.
#90 - On 09/22/2009 at 3:32pm by Six_and_the_Moon
(0)wow you need to get out now. he sounds controlling. this one guy i was dating was really controlling so then i tried to dump him and he said no. there was another fml about that, but it happened to me too. then he shoved me to the ground so i decided to stay with him for a few more days. but then i dumped him and he left me alone for a while.
controlling guys are stupid and you should get out before he won't let you do anything with anyone but him. trust me, it sucks ass.
#91 - On 09/22/2009 at 3:46pm by mileycyruslvrrrr
(0)Depends on how he seys it, if he seys it in a mean way, run, if he seys it in a cute way then thts kind of cute
#93 - On 09/22/2009 at 3:59pm by vampiregal16rulz
(0)You didn't break up with him immediatly after he said. "Okay, you're my girlfriend now" ?
#94 - On 09/22/2009 at 4:23pm by fmlyoumeanie
(0)If this is how he treats you now, how do you think he'll treat you if you actually do get married? Remember, you always have a choice. Feel free to dump him.
#98 - On 09/22/2009 at 4:49pm by marvinandroid01
(+1)That's actually pretty funny.
I bet he just LOVES talking about his feelings. ;P But honestly OP, I don't think he'd propose unless he really actually loved you. Unless you both have been dating for a number of years and he just doesn't want to break up. In which case, I'd be pretty leery.
#99 - On 09/22/2009 at 4:51pm by oystercultviking
(+1)YDI for continuing to date a dude after he already showed a lack of understanding for human interaction and social conventions. What a weirdo.
#100 - On 09/22/2009 at 4:54pm by portablecupid
(0)that could be a cute way he thought he could do it. like when guys propose and they take the girl through the places they met, their first dates, first kiss spot, and such. Maybe since you became in a relationship like that because he was awkward at the time, he thought it would be a cute way to propose.
#101 - On 09/22/2009 at 5:01pm by chitown4lyfe
(0)Dump him immediately!!! My soon to be ex husband did almost exactly the same thing. After you marry him the amount of effort he will put into the relationship will dramatically decrease. And as he is already putting forth really no effort at all, you are screwed!! I'm just waiting for the dead and zombie part now.
#105 - On 09/22/2009 at 6:08pm by mlalreadyfd
(0)well you obviously like him, right? if you do, there should be no problem. Just try to change him. Stating stuff gets boring and demeaning after a while.
#106 - On 09/22/2009 at 6:22pm by sup3rcray0n
(0)he obviously doesnt know how to be open or how to express his feelings, which is not something you should break up with him for. it's not his fault. but i dont think it's your fault at all.
#110 - On 09/22/2009 at 7:00pm by sabrinalovey
(0)Well, you're telling us you knew about this 'trait' from the beginning. How is this an FML? Either you accept it, shut up, and don't post about it here, or you don't and should have broken up with him all that time go.
GTFO, ass-for-hat.
(0)i actually thought it was really cute...
but i wouldn't accept it as an actual proposal. i would simply hand him back the ring and say. "ask me next time and i might say yes, then you can say 'ok, we're engaged now' "
#114 - On 09/22/2009 at 7:13pm by IMrlyBORED
(0)well clearly the op said yes cuz she took the ring...
i can see where you guys are going with all this "creepy and controlling" boyfriend thing, but it really just sounds like the op is kind of put off that her fiance didn't put more thought into the proposal...like make it more special or cute. nam sayin?
(0)I think this would make more sense on My Life is Average. I mean, he is a little controlling it seems, but you could always leave the guy.
Then again, i suppose all girls want a flashy proposal, you don't really have that.
#117 - On 09/22/2009 at 9:35pm by sweetest_sidhe
(0)I say fake or exaggerated. maybe he said those things but after he asked.
#120 - On 09/22/2009 at 11:14pm by skataboi76
(0)LOL wait a few years. One day he'll mess around with whatever method of birth control you're using, and then he'll be like "Okay, we're having a kid now".
#121 - On 09/23/2009 at 12:16am by veritaserum
(0)@Lashleigh- the story you wrote is romantic but the way this guy did it on the FML is like he doesn't care.
HAHAHA sucks for OP, but this guy is so unreal he rocks! lol so fuckin hilarious & maybe you should break it off unless you wanna be married to someone who goes through life saying "ok __" with zero enthusiasum for life!
(0)If you don't like his style, why are you still with him?
#126 - On 09/24/2009 at 12:25am by meheeeen
(0)That is so cute. I guess it would suck if you're a romantic but otherwise it's adorable. And it sounds like something out of an anime, one of those couples who stay together forever.
(0)this is what my boyfriend would do. so i feel your pain although at the same time they're just shy and dont know how to express themselves haha. but at least you know he loves you!!
#142 - On 09/30/2009 at 5:14pm by elephant16
(0)My ex did something similar. When he was giving me the ring, he had just got back from vacation and we were laying in bed. He said "do you want your present now?" Then put a ring on my face.
(0)I find this cute, because I pictured "Cheese" from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends saying it.
Don't ask.

(0)(don't just read the 1st sentence and hate me) Women don't get to decide whether or not to get married. If you stay single too long, you'll just end up lonely, move up into the dark and creepy forest and become the crazy old witch who summons daemons and dragons to attack the lowly peasants who do nothing but mind their own business, picking their vegetables for the measly dinner they have to take home to feed their family of 13.5 kids that live in a one room cottage made of straw that they have to walk around in in bare feet. And eventually, the King / Queen will send troops and the peasants that are officially pissed off at you are gonna come with swords, pitchforks, and torches and arrest you, where you shall then be immediately convicted of witchcraft and you shall be hung in front on the entire town. Now. Do you really want that to happen? No? I didn't think so. (that was fun...)
(0)@160, My aunt is 40 and single, (never married) and a woman can life a perfectly happy and full life without a husband, you know.
