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

Thanksgiving
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

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..

Dump him immediately. This is a precursor to the rest of your life together with him: if he wants something badly enough, he'll steal to get it, then will lie to those he loves about it. Run away as quickly as possible, because people like that don't change. Unfortunately, I know from experience; don't wake up years later and find out that he stole your mother's favorite ring, your father's gun, money from you and your parents, and that he was keeping the cash you were giving him, instead of paying the bills with it. Stay far, far away from that kind of person.

typical girl response (ooh he couldnt afford a ring so he stole to prove his love he's a satanic worshipper)no one realizes that true love is when your willing to go to the ends of the earth for the person you care about no matter how much trouble it gets you in and down the road when im married if there is no possible way to provide enough for my family goddamn right i'll steal for the ones i love and you can't blame every guy who makes a mistake just cause you had a shitty judge of character

Gregory7, you are 14 and know shit about life. Do yourself a favor and don't make juvenile comments until you are a little more mature. Jaguaress, that's the most sound advice out of all the comments here.

Honestly, by husband couldn't afford anything and I ended up paying a few hundred dollars for my own wedding ring. Not that the situation is ideal or anything but there are ways to do things without taking from others.

Agreed. Don't marry a thief that would happily steal from his own family.

I say you go through with the engagement. Think of how much money you'll save on the wedding!

If you're immature enough that you steal a ring to get engaged, I don't care how "well meaning" you are or if you're "in love" - you're not mature enough to get married. Doesn't matter if you're 16 or 36 - that's not something an adult does. And if you can't afford the ring, how on earth are you going to afford car payments, house/rent payments, utility bills, etc? Clearly "well meaning" and "well thought out" are in two very different camps.

Being able to afford a ring isn't what an engagement is all about. My ex-BF bought one of those $10 rings off of whatever discount store's accessories section. Granted, we were both unemployed high school kids at the time, and I broke it off for other reasons, but that wasn't going to stop us. However, stealing his mother's ring shows he has little respect for anyone. Dump him, he will end up doing the same to you.
