Today, I found out that my girlfriend of almost four years was breaking up with me when she captioned an Instagram post saying, "Who else besides me is going into 2018 single?" I had already bought an engagement ring. FML

Today, I'm living with my now ex-girlfriend of 9 years in the house we bought together. What's worse than that is the fact that 2 weeks before she told me she was unhappy and ended it, I had bought an engagement ring. I didn't get the chance to ask, and had to return the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. 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 found out my fiancée has been sleeping with the salesman I bought her engagement ring from. He knew. FML
Today, I got home early from work at 2am to find my girlfriend of 5 years missing. Upon further inspection, I caught the "other man" dropping her off out front. So much for the engagement ring I bought for her. FML
Today, I got home and my girlfriend was wearing the ring I bought last week. Apparently she found it and thought to herself, "Fuck it, we’re engaged now so I’ll just start wearing it", completely bypassing the actual proposal part of getting engaged. I’m actually really mad at her right now. 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 husband who asked for a divorce four days ago announced his engagement on Facebook. His new woman's profile picture is my engagement ring. FML
Today, I poured my heart out to my girlfriend with a serenade. After I finished, she told me she'd come over to tell me she'd found someone else and wanted to break up. FML

You kept the receipt right? You could always film yourself getting the refund with Beyonce playing in the background. Use the money to buy a pool table instead - your balls will be played with more then than in a marriage anyway. On a serious note, sorry OP.

At least you knew before proposing. Sorry, OP, that sucks.

Is she going to break up with you over Snapchat? Sure hope your next girl has the same ring size or it’s a simple return..

I really hope you had the presence of mind to immediately break up with her before she could do so to you.

This is why marriage should be planned and talked about. Never a surprise. The only thing that should be a surprise is how you do it. If you DID talk and plan, your ex gf is an ass on top of being a coward. As long as you have the box, you should still be able to return your ring. They have transaction histories in store, I'm sure.

But if the proposal was a surprise then the breakup has nothing to do with it...

The point is, had they talked about it, she'd have known that the proposal was coming. Or OP would have known she wasn't going to marry him.

If she can break up with you by sending an indirect message on instagram then she is worthless. It is not something which helps but you dodged a bullet there.

It's alright, the engagement ring won't go bad. You can use it to propose to another girl in the future.

Send her a message that says “Be careful with what you wish for”, along with a photo of you returning the ring.

Why do people nowadays think breaking up over social media/txt is okay? Especially when they've been together for almost 4 years...you dodged a bullet op

...Um, I know I'm old as dirt, but the tax man and I thought "single" meant "not married". I considered myself "single" until after the ceremony, when I became "married." I considered myself "available" when I didn't have a steady beau, "unavailable" when I did, and "engaged" once hubby asked. But until "I pronounce you man and wife," I was "single."

wut? you have a bf/gf: you're not single you have a wife/husband: you're married you have neither of these: you're single
