Today, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

To be honest I'd rather be proposed to with a ring he actually put some thought into rather than one he has obtained through winning a competition.

Why do women always expect a proposal, it isn't worth it to force something big like that....

#32 Thank you for speaking for all of us. I don't expect a proposal, but I have a ******, so I guess I must not know what I want after all... Luckily you were here to clarify everything.

*The most interesting woman in the world* I don't always expect a proposal, but when I do, it better be a big ******* diamond with a platinum band.

I understand you find it pity, but he isn't obigated to ask you. Maybe he's not ready for it. If you really are sad about it talk to him.

I can't help but think if he had proposed, this FML would read "Today, my boyfriend proposed. With a ring he won in a citywide competition. FML."

Very true. The fact that OP's boyfriend won a diamond ring in a competition automatically leads up to an FML scenario, regardless of what he does with it. By the way, that's a damn creepy profile pic you got there.

This is an FML depending on how long you have been together. My neighbor's daughter wasted 11yrs of her life hoping her BF would propose. She finally left, but she met and married a guy 3yrs later and they have 2 girls now.

11 years?! She could have just proposed herself if she wanted it so badly.

eleven years together, they might as well have been married already, even if there was no ring or piece of paper. some people do treat it that way, at least. also, depending on where they lived at the time, they may have fallen under the definition of common-law marriage. I know it ain't as romantic, but that is how some people roll.

I don't need a stupid ring to know he loves me. And I don't understand others who dump their boyfriend bcs he doesn't propose.

Xskittle: Because not all people want the exact things as you do! She wanted to be married and have kids. Apparently her bf did not. So it was best that they split up and each go their own way to pursue whatever it is they want in life. He kept saying he will "one day." But it was just a lie.

You never know it was a lie or not, because she left she didn't get the ring fast enough

11yrs is plenty of time. I knew them both my whole life. This man just wanted to mooch off of her, live in her house rent free and eat her food. So yes, the man was a liar.

Maybe the ring has better value to what he would otherwise buy you. He's preparing for your possible future together!

He may just not be ready and doesn't want to lead you on.

That's just not right. Someone should have a talk with him about this kind of stuff. Obviously, he ain't quite with it yet.

Ain't quite with what yet? If you don't mind me asking. It seems there are too many holes in this FML in order to REALLY make a valid comment about it. We don't know how long they've been dating, how old they are, financial situation... Etc... Either way I think the real point here, is whether he won an engagement ring, or an iPhone 5s. He is not obligated to do anything with it that would involve her. He did, after all, win it because he entered the contest.

YDI for being an entitled bitch.
