Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over two hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. FML
Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML
Today, I spent nearly an hour helping a customer pick out an engagement ring. I rang him up, picked out a super cute box for the ring, and wished him luck. Later I realized I never put the ring inside the box. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML
Today, because my fiancé is criminally incompetent at budgeting, I'm now having to pay the first installment for my own wedding ring. FML
Today, I finally had enough money to buy my girlfriend an engagement ring, which I was going to pick up after work. On my way to work, I slid on the ice and crashed into a parked vehicle. The damage to my car is almost twice the amount of the ring. FML
Today, I’ve been the proud owner of an engagement ring for about 7 hours, and I’ve just spent the last 4 of them desperately searching for the damn thing, as I’ve lost it already. I daren’t tell my partner, since he was so sure I’d lose it, he'd told me to put it in our safe, and I stubbornly refused. FML
Today, I found out my fiancée has been sleeping with the salesman I bought her engagement ring from. He knew. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML
Today, I tried to propose to my girlfriend, but when I took out the ring it flew out of the box and disappeared. She's been crying for 3 hours and I'm down 2 grand. I still don't know what her answer is. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How is this a FML in any way? A woman can't pay for an engagement ring? Let me guess, she can't have a job either. She should stay at home and please her man and have children and clean the kitchen. Nice.

Yes, a woman can buy a gift for her fiancee. The reason this is an FML is because an engagement ring is a gift given by the groom to his future bride. It's a gift! It's considered rude to ask someone to pay for a gift you are going to give them. I'm sure the OP felt terrible about making his fiancee pay for the gift he was trying to give her.

EMR, you mean women don't buy their men engagement rings too? Huh. Always wondered about engagement rings, actually, don't you replace it with the wedding ring? Seems a bit weird to me to pay lots for a ring that you'll just wear for a few months or years.

my mom still wears her engagement ring and she's been married for 21 years. and anyway i have a feeling they were shopping for wedding rings, not engagement rings, so she should be able to pay part of it. if he feels bad he can repay her later.

To #61 Traditionally men don't wear an engagement ring so women normally don't normally buy their future husband one

Prawn I don't know anyone still married who doesn't still wear their engagement ring. Most couples have the rings connected after the wedding.

If it were a first date I'd say "lol, she thinks you're a moocher!" but seeing as how you're engaged it's an understandable mistake. Try not to dwell on it, lol. There's much worse on here to make you feel better.

Don't worry about it, you're engaged, she understands things happen. You can pay her back.

You deserve it for being with a girl who needs a ring. Complete waste of money. If she really wants it, she can pay the other 80% too.

You could have gone home and gotten your wallet.
