Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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 proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML
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 proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." 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 boyfriend finally proposed. His reason? A Las Vegas wedding came up on Groupon. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me the most beautiful diamond ring I have ever seen. As I excitedly put it on my finger, he told me it wasn't an engagement ring, but I should wear it like one to keep other men away and seem "unapproachable". FML

He is not obligated to propose just because he won a ring. Sorry

Maybe he isn't ready for marriage

Hopefully he's keeping it a secret by "selling" it so he can propose!

I don't think that is likely.

Just because he won an engagement ring doesn't mean he's ready for marriage, give it time.

It may be a surprise for you later on? He sells it, buys a better one, then proposes to you? Think positive!

One: That word is frowned upon here, and in society in general. Two: Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Three: Buy a dictionary.

What I want to know is if the ring was the only prize or if he won it unintentionally, hoping he'd get one of the other prizes. If he entered a competition in which the prize was the ring, I can understand OP's feelings, as you'd expect someone who tries to win a nice engagement ring to actually use it. However if he was aiming for something else and won the ring instead, then you can't really expect him to propose to you.

Some FML's, like this one, desperately need a "get over it" button. Sometimes your life really does suck, and sometimes you're just being a whiny brat. Think about it, who wants to get engaged just because he won a ring? Wouldn't you be forever wondering if thats the only reason he popped the question? Either way, other peoples lives suck a whole lot more!

Don't worry OP. There's no market for reselling engagement rings. He'll be lucky if he gets enough $$ to take you out for dinner.

No market? Rings are worth their component price all day long. If its a diamond speck sure it's worthless but if it's a 2 carat single stone then it will sale for a few thousand all day long to any jeweler or pawnshop.

Maybe not as an engagement ring but gold and diamonds are always marketable.

I'm guessing the competition was "win a ring to propose to your girlfriend". It is a very specific prize so I doubt he won it by accident. I doubt the competition promoters meant for it to be won by someone with no intention of getting engaged.

A lot of competitions have multiple prizes.

What kind of competition would have an engagement ring prize and not be wedding related -.-

If he won a funeral plot, would you expect him tp murder you?

maybe he thought proposing with a ring he won would be tacky.
