Today, my boyfriend and I exchanged promise rings. I promised that I would stay committed to him and that he was the only one for me. He promised that he would stop seeing other woman behind my back. He wasn't kidding. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, I found out the promise ring my boyfriend of 4 months gave me used to be his ex-girlfriend's. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 5 years spent a whole hour making me promise that if he ever died, I would never try to find someone else. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend is only staying with me for the present I promised him for his birthday. 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, as a 1 year anniversary present, my boyfriend let me see and wear my engagement ring. He then made me give it back at the end of the day. FML
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, my boyfriend of four years proposed to me and I said yes. A few hours later, I found out he's been talking to multiple other girls for about three months. FML
Today, my boyfriend's mom bought us matching purity rings. FML
Today, the man I love showed me the ring he's going to give to the woman that he loves. Who is someone else. FML

Apparently they believe that it's a ring that makes people committed, and now that they have rings, they're committed.

"I promised that I would stay committed to him and that he was the only one for me. He promised that he would stop seeing other woman behind my back." How do those statements differ? She promised to stay committed to him and he promised to stay committed to her.

The difference is that she said he's the only one, as in she's not been seeing others behind his back, whereas... well, since I can't tell if the OP meant "THE other woman" or "other WOMEN" ... either way, he was seeing someone behind hers all along. Promise rings, though cute, are indeed a little childish, and not exactly something that will keep him away from other women anyway. Or you from men, for that matter.

What, you wanted him to keep seeing women behind your back? You should have worded this better

Promise rings, I feel like I am witnessing a reunion of "The Waltons". So, does Jim Bob ride bareback - does that ring have magical powers that are going to protect you from any STDs that he is bringing along for the ride?

Dump him! Don't let yourself be disrespected that way. It disgusts me when people stay with someone who has cheated on them. I don't understand how anyone could forgive that.
