Love and Weird: Congratulations

Congratulations

Today, while talking on the phone with my long-distance boyfriend, he let me know that he was getting married in August to "some girl" for his papers. After I objected, he told me, "Well, you can marry me if you want." I'm not sure if I just got dumped or proposed to. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML

Too much pressure

Today, I told my boyfriend of two years that I wanted to get married eventually, and there's no way to talk me out of it. He broke up with me immediately. FML

Today, my girlfriend of almost a year, and to whom I intended to propose on Thanksgiving, dumped me because her husband will be returning from Iraq soon. And he wants to have a "talk" with me. I didn't know she was married. FML

Bad timing

Today, my boyfriend invited me over to his house. I was planning on breaking up with him while at his house. Turns out, it was a proposal party. I'm now engaged because it would've been rude to say no in front of his family that had flown in. FML

Today, I almost got married. After the elaborate and very expensive wedding, my "husband" decided he did not want to sign the marriage license because he wasn't sure if he really wanted to settle down after all. FML

Buffering

Today, I was in the car with my boyfriend. After telling him how much I loved him, he asked me to marry him. When I said yes and started crying, he said he wasn't sure if he really wants to get married. 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

He doesn't wanna marry you, he wants to be legalized. You have been dumped, don't fall for his bs proposal.

He's pretty much giving you an ultimatum. Either marry him so he can become a legal resident where you live or he'll marry someone else. FYL cause he should've actually proposed to you (if he didn't) instead of finding someone else to marry. To be honest it seems like he's using you big time. Dump him?

wtf is everyone's problem? he just wants citizenship... the "you can marry me if you want" was just a joke, but still a valid offer if she's willing to go through with it. Nothing in the original post suggest he was cheating on the OP

It could also be that he wants to wait to marry her, and doesn't want to rush into anything with her, but has a good reason to become a citizen ASAP. I could be totally wrong, but without knowing the exact situation, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. If that's the case though, good luck getting a divorce I guess?

That's insane. Please, dump him. You'll be glad you did!

Well he's sure nonchalant and straightforward. I'd say find someone that wouldn't marry someone else just for citizenship? I feel sorry for you though.

There isn't a word strong enough to express what idiot you are. Long distance relationship is a relationship just like any other, period. I met my own boyfriend nearly a year ago online and I'm visiting him in the US as we speak (my 4 week trip is just about to end). We are committed and in love - the only difference is that we can only see each other a few times a year due to the looong distance.
