Today, my boyfriend of over two years said he wants to get married before he leaves for basic training. Not because he loves me, but because he'll get paid more if he's married. This is the only time he's been excited about marriage. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend called me explaining that he is getting married this weekend to a woman he met on Craigslist. Why? Because I won't marry him, and he'll make an extra thousand dollars per month having a wife since he is in the army. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years asked me to marry him so that we can consolidate our student loans. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I should finish school early and get a job so we can get married, because then he'll have enough money to buy the truck he's had his eyes on for our whole relationship. FML
Today, my boyfriend of five years finally asked me to marry him. He said, "We could save on taxes if we got married… What do you think?" That was the most romantic thing he's said to me in the last two years. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years announced that he is not ready for marriage, and won’t be for 'at least' another 2 years. Of course he waited to tell me this 2 days after he had proposed to me in front of hundreds of people, I said yes, and we announced it to all our family members and friends. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, my boyfriend of three years asked me if I ever wanted to get married. I said yes. He said, 'But what happens if you never find a guy who likes you that much?' FML
Today, my fiancé told me that he expects me to agree to quit my job to cook and clean after we get married, or he will not show up at our wedding. He earns minimum wage and my salary is 17 times higher than his. FML
Today, my boyfriend came up with this thrillingly romantic proposal: “I’m paying way too much income tax. How about we get married?” FML
Today, my boyfriend of 5 years said that he wants to marry and spend his life with me. But first he wants to go be wild and single for a few years before settling down. Not only does he not see a problem with this, he expects me to wait and be faithful to him while he “gets it out of his system”. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Wow. My husband and I just got married today. He's also in the military. And he could care less about the money. I mean yea, it's going to help with bills for our house and stuff but we got married because we love each other. And let me tell you. being apart is the hardest thing ever. so if he's only thinking about the money don't bother in putting yourself through a long distance relationship. seriously.

I wouldn't marry him if I was you, his love for money is probably stronger then his love for you. Marriage has become nothing nowadays, everybody abuses it.

ya but think about it, if he doesn't do this and he does enter basic training, she will be complaining about how he doesn't make enough money to support her.. maybe the decesion is a fincial one soo it's now her money too and I'm sure he took that into consideration don't look

The OP said he doesn't want to marry her because he loves her, but because he will get more money if they were married. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to marry someone just so they could get more money out of it. I would want to marry the person because we love each other through thick and thin, even if we didn't have money. Also, i'd rather be complaining about having no money than being married to a husband that loves cash more then me. ( I'm not saying he loves money more than the OP, it just seems like it. )

yea buhh she just assumes it's because he doesn't love her obviously he does love her he just wants the best for her I think op Is just overexaggerating

You're probably right, a lot of FMLs are exaggerated.

Maybe they were just between rounds and were catching their breath. Or as in my case, were spending several hours in the car. We spent part of our honeymoon returning my new daughter to my new husband's ex-wife. The ex-wife said if my husband wanted his daughter at the wedding, he had to 'handle' the transportation. It was over 2 hours one way. All in all, a small price to pay to have her there.
