Today, it was the second anniversary of the day I met my girlfriend. I had to go to work, but I set an engagement ring and a letter on my pillow for when she woke up, and left breakfast for her on the counter. When I got home, she and all of her things were gone. FML

Today, I got home early from work at 2am to find my girlfriend of 5 years missing. Upon further inspection, I caught the "other man" dropping her off out front. So much for the engagement ring I bought for her. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML
Today, I got a card from the jewelry store thanking me for purchasing an engagement ring a year ago and wishing me and my fiancée a long and everlasting marriage. Too bad my fiancée took off with the pizza delivery boy 6 months ago. FML
Today, after three years with my dream girl, I decided to pop the question by making her complete a scavenger hunt ending in her finding me, suit and everything, by the park bench where we had our first kiss. She came home tired and, instead of following the clues, decided to watch TV all day. FML
Today, I was sleeping in after working a graveyard shift. I awoke to my girlfriend sneaking her stuff out of the house. She planned on leaving her key on my pillow and taking off without any notice whatsoever. 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 fiancée broke up with me over text message while I was away for work. She later posted photos of her and her new boyfriend on Facebook, while still wearing my engagement ring. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I had been hiding the ring in the sock drawer. When I went to retrieve it, the ring was gone and in its place was a sticky note that said "NO." FML
Today, I woke up to a note on my nightstand from my fiancée, along with the ring I proposed to her with yesterday, which stated that not only was she not ready to be married, but she’d been planning to end things before I “blindsided" her. FML
Today, I left to go home for Christmas holidays. I got 3 hours away and realised I forgot the presents. Along with the engagement ring I was going to give to my girlfriend. FML

Something like a proposal is a very serious conversation between the couple involved and must be face to face. It should also not be treated as a "romantic stunt" with clowns and balloons and crowds of spectators or family. You seriously screwed up by not having the character to discuss this before hand and not doing it in person.

Truly sorry op. For someone to walk away like that without a word doesn't deserve the love and care from another person.

Should never have proposed like this. Sorry man, YDI.

That was a terrible way to propose, right next to texting or leaving a voicemail... Very impersonal. It was just as terrible and impersonal for her to take all her stuff and leave without even talking to you.

Not all proposals have to be so stereotypical. We don't know what the situation was between the two. Maybe the girlfriend told OP once that she likes to wake up to surprises and he remembered it. In that case, it would be totally cute and romantic.

They actually sound kind of perfect for each other when you put it like that.

Wouldn't you want to be there when you proposed? Are you sure she didn't leave you a note saying yes?

A simple no would have been sufficient

I'm wondering if she took the ring too...

Only two years and you didn't even propose in person? You're lucky she just took HER stuff.

It seems that you are better without her. It's time to spread a rumor that she has herpes

Spreading a rumor like that is just childish and would also imply that OP has it as well…
