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, 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

It probably would have been another FML had he proposed to you with that ring. Perhaps he wanted to use the money to buy you something more personalized? Today, my boyfriend decided to propose with a ring he won at a competition instead of getting me a personalized one. FML.

You guys need to have a serious talk about your relationship and future.

There are things we don't know here. For one, what if they have only been together a few months? Like lets say 5 months max, do you people still think he should propose? I don't. OP's boyfriend may also not be ready for marriage, and if he is, he may want to get her a special ring, not just one that he won through a competition. If my fiancee had won a ring and then decided to propose to me just because he won it, I would have said no. There is no thought or love in that. "Hey guiz i won a ring time to get engaged." No.

Demanding that he needs to propose to you shows that you aren't ready for marriage.

Even if he's not ready for marriage, he should have kept it for the future (Unless he already bought one)

Maybe He'll Surprise You ! Or Maybe He's Not Ready To Be Married Yet
