Surprise!
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

Romcom moment
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend because I was tired of waiting for him to propose. It turns out he was going to propose and had the ring and everything, but I fucked it all up. FML

Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, and gave his little speech, over the phone. He did all this while his ass was firmly planted in a chair in the next room. FML

Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML

Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML

are you sure it was a proposal speech in the first place and not just a really long weird breakup speech?

i think in the midst of explaining why he loves you, he found reasons why he doesnt. He should've thought it through so he wouldn't look like a douche.

Aaron Hernandez should call this guy up. If he can convince himself out of a marriage proposal, just think what he could convince a jury out of.

I guess he decided to forgo the expensive wedding followed by the expensive divorce.

How the **** does that happen? Guy must have an incredible way with words.

#16, "Darling, I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me? Bazinga!" That's how it's done ;)

Unfortunately, sometimes this happens. Maybe during the proposal your boyfriend realised he was scared of commitment and decided the best way to deal with it was to break up with you. It could have been a quick decision that he will regret later after some thought. Or if he doesn't, I'm sorry and hope you will find that perfect someone in the future :)

So sorry but at least you don't have to be with someone who has no idea what they want.

I imagine this as, "will you marry me, (a whole bunch of mushy words) but I don't think we can be together." Or op's bf just really has no clue what he truly wants...

im trying to picture the situation. was it in a public place? was the family invited to witness it ? did he have a ring then take it back? either way that sucks OP. I could understand if he decided he wasn't ready but to break up with you all together.....really?

How does one respond to that proposal?

Boyfriend: Honey, I love you, and want to spend the rest of my life with you... *30 minutes later* ...and that stupid ***** mother of yours won't leave me alone! We're done! So long, bitch! I want to call your boyfriend a douche and sympathize, but I didn't get enough out of that 13 word FML to be able to appropriately pass judgement. FYL for being dumped at your proposal, but maybe it was justified. Maybe.
