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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML
Today, my mom called me to tell me she'd got in touch with my ex for his birthday, and that the two of them had made a plan for us to get back together. My new boyfriend was in the process of proposing to me. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. 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..

How old are you that you both live at home? Sounds to me like a high school "engagement"

As I said earlier, I'm engaged and both my fiancée n I live with our parents. Were both in our 20s and were saving money to buy a house instead of renting an apartment because, Doris, it's a waste of money.

I agree, Star. My man and I are doing the same thing. The economy sucks so badly right now!

Yes, I know the economy in South Jersey sucks! It looks like it's getting better because I finally found a job. I had graduated with my BA December of 2008 and have been activley looking for a job! Hopefully by this time next year, we're gonna have a house :)

kind of off topic, but i think if your old enough to be engaged, your too old to be living with you parents....

So if you want to get married at 19 (my friend's parents did that 23 years ago and they are not looking to divorce any time soon) yet you don't have enough money to support yourself just yet....It's wrong to get engaged? Many people love each other at an early age, and they get engaged. Then they wait until they have enough money to both pay for another place to live and a wedding. Really, it's not a bad plan.

Or the future mother in law is concocting this story so you will break off the engagement. I'd ask him in front of his mother. You will be able to tell who is lying then.

were you on the tyra show and are you 16? haha i saw this same thing, except he stole it from his aunt. anyway, that sucks and i don't think you should marry him. that's very immature and that makes me think you two are young. i could be wrong though.

LOTS of engaged people don't live together. as for living with parents, i lived with my parents till i got married because i was just out of college and didn't see the point in getting my own apartment for the length of the engagement. he lived with his for the same reason, but got an apartment a few months before the wedding so we could set it up for after the wedding. there are lots of reasons people do what they do.....

as for the OP's problem, it may not be a bad thing. he may have wanted to propose and couldn't do it any other way. it sounds more like he has to talk with his mom than anything else....
