Today, I was lying in bed minding my own business when my mom entered the room. I was proposed to a few weeks ago by my boyfriend, and my mom came in to tell me that my boyfriend's mom was on the phone. Turns out, he stole the engagement ring from her drawer. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed with the perfect ring, restaurant, flowers, and champagne. He’s never been this well prepared for anything in his life, so he admitted that my mother planned the whole thing and forced him to propose, even though neither of us want to get married. She even bought the ring. FML
Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML
Today, I was in my bedroom with my boyfriend and we were kissing. My mom then came into my room and started shouting at my boyfriend for cheating on her. FML
Today, we announced our engagement. His mother immediately accused me of being a manipulative, gold digging whore. She's been fine with me for the last 5 years of dating, plus I used all my savings to support my boyfriend when he wanted to go back to college, but as soon as the ring appeared, I'm a gold digger. FML
Today, my mom had my girlfriend and me over. Out of the blue, she pulled out my grandmother's wedding ring and gave it to me saying I can now propose. My girlfriend started screaming and said yes. I have been seeing someone else for 3 months and was going to break up with my girlfriend tomorrow. FML

How old are you?

What an idiot, I would dump him.. He could have turned it into something romantic, like a ring with no rock and promise to fill it as he becomes more successful in life or something..

Sounds like your choice of boyfriends sucks. YDI for choosing an ass for a boyfriend.

People don't suddenly change overnight. Not saying the bf is terrible or anything -- I don't know the situation at all -- but if he is a bad guy now, then he probably has always been a bad guy.

You're engaged and you don't live together?

Many couples don't live together before they get engaged. It's not that uncommon

Yeah, but living one their own separately is one thing, still living at home with their parents is another.

My fiancée and I still live with our parents. I'm 22 and he's 23, were saving money to buy a house instead of wasting money on an apartment. We both have good relationships with our parents so there's no point in moving out, I'm sure were not the only ones like this...

Renting is spending money you're never going to get back. Buying a house is an investment. If Starfire is lucky enough to not have to spend however many thousands and save more money to buy a nicer house, that's great. Not everyone has that option, but there's nothing wrong with you if you have it and use it.

Just because we want a nice house and won't waste our money renting doesn't mean we don't love each other just as much. With a little bit of saving we can own something that we can invest money on improving and eventually sell back at a profit and get something nicer. Granted, we can do this because our situation is ideal for this, and if you want an apartment, that's fine, there's nothing wrong with that, but for us, we would rather just wait to save up for something nice. We just got engaged in September and have been together for six years, and my fiancée wanted to surprise me.

what do you mean, afford to move out and save for a house at the same time. if you are renting, and in Sydney that is in most places $400 a week or higher, that's money not going towards your house deposit. do the maths. depending on the buying/renting climate in your area, sometimes it's smarter to stay put and save. smart parents charge their kids board money anyway to help pay bills and teach kids about financial commitment.

In the spirit of well meaning advice; Depending on if he lives in his mom's basement or not he sounds like he is either the president or vice- president of the losers club. Dump him.

Well, I guess it's time to give all of the other gifts from him back to his mother, too.

Take this as a lucky sign that you found out what kind of loser he is before it was too late. Get out, now.
