Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She asked if the ring was a temporary thing until I got a better one, saw my dumbfounded face, then played it off as a joke and said yes. I later found out she'd posted on Facebook bitching about the ring, but with the privacy setting set to hide it from me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I were making fun of a photo album on Facebook containing pictures of two friends who just got engaged. I jokingly asked her to marry me. She said yes. We have been dating for two months. She's not in on the joke. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said yes, but the ring turned out to be quite tight on her finger. She then chewed me out, saying that I can't do anything right, then changed her answer to no. 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 girlfriend turned down my marriage proposal because the ring I gave her was bigger than the one her sister got at her proposal. Apparently she wouldn't be able to brag to her sister without "looking like a bitch for having a bigger ring". FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend with a ring from Kay Jewelers. She saw the box, started giggling, whispered, "'Kay", and then started laughing so hard at her joke she had to excuse herself. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years. She bitched me out for not getting the ring she had been "hinting" me to get, and angrily left. FML
Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I bought and assumed it was a late birthday present. She’s now wearing it on her right hand like a signet ring and she somehow hasn’t figured out it’s a diamond and not a Swarovski. I'm now waiting for her to figure it out before I pop the question.

Did she really think hiding you from a Facebook post, then posting something as rude and serious as disliking her engagement ring wasn't going to get back to you?

Are you sure you want to marry her?

She doesn't love you OP, she loves wealth. Dump her.

Better doesn't mean more expensive. Almost every girl has jewelry taste some like gold some like silver, he could have been way off. You can find REALLY nice vintage rings on etsy for $300-$500

The fml says that she was expecting something better. To me, that implies more expensive or bigger. Either way, if she really, really didn't like the ring, she could have at least talked to him about it instead of bitching about it on Facebook. At least then they could try to, hopefully, reach a compromise and find something they are both happy with. I would think that if she really loved him, it wouldn't matter what it looked like and she would just be happy that she would be spending the rest of her life with him.

my ring was $50, and I love it because my husband knew my love for vintage jewelry and hunted for the rightnone in pawn shops and flea markets. the stone is super small, and it is perfect for me.

#154 no better doesn't mean more expensive or bigger, it means just that better. Like #177 said her Ring was $50 the price REALLY doesn't matter, it's the style that does matter. No girl is going to want to wear a ring she thinks is ugly for the rest of her life. A mature girl would talk to her boyfriend about it. This girl was obviously not mature about it. It was ****** up how she reacted, but there's a lot of Info we are missing, and it's a big jump to assume she wanted something bigger and more expensive. OP could have been more observant to the style of jewelry and rings she likes, or OP could have done great and his girlfriend is just a tool.

If you are some rich cheap guy who got her a cheap ring , then you totally deserve if not, you're better off without her Op

In no way does OP deserve this, whether he's filthy rich or dirt poor. If this girl truly loved OP, she'd be happy about it instead of being a gold digging bitch complaining on Facebook. It's really pathetic of you to think how much the ring costs determines if OP deserves it or not. Materialistic much?

20, I completely agree with you in every way, shape, and form. But, 16 said that if OP was some "rich cheap guy", then he deserved it. I somewhat agree with that part. If I could imagine having all the money in the world, I would want to spoil my future wife with a very nice ring. If you have money and still get a dinky wedding ring at Macy's, then maybe they deserve it. That's all I'm saying. But in all reality, OP's girlfriend is an unbelievable asshole

I completely agree with you 20, the cost of the ring should not come into play no matter how rich or poor you are. I know that for me personally, I have seen a lot of "cheaper" rings that I much prefer over others I have seen that cost thousands upon thousands of dollars. I believe that we are allowed to be a little picky about a ring we are going to wear for the rest of our lives. But this bitch should have talked about that privately with OP, not go behind his back the way she did.

#270 I agree. If the ring was ugly and just not her style, I understand why she'd be upset. But from the FML, I read it that the girl thought the ring was cheap and wanted it to be bigger and better. No matter the case, she never had the right to bitch about it on Facebook.

Good luck in your lifetime together of having her bitch about how everything you do is not good enough for her. Excellent choice, man
frizz101 22
If she is going to complain about a ring going into the engagement, your marriage is not going to last. But before you break up with her talk to her about it, if she doesn't like it because it isn't expensive then you should reconsider your relationship, but don't just throw away your relationship, you obviously love her, but talk about what you both want out of the relationship.

How thankless, I hope you called her out on it. I understand that some women can be a little mental about their engagement/wedding ideals, but she had no right to do any of that.

Warning: High Maintenance Ahead. Dump her while all the cost is a cheap ring.

I wouldn't set an engagement date just yet, OP. You might not have seen this ones true colors.

Who cares about a ring? It doesn't DO anything. It just sits there on your finger and symbolizes a partnership. You could get a plastic children's ring from the dollar store and it could mean the same thing.

unfortunately, OPs girlfriend cares. OP may choose to reevaluate the relationship in light of this.
