Today, my girlfriend lost one of her rings. I found this out as I overheard her gushing to her friend about how I must have borrowed it to find out what her ring size is. I have zero interest whatsoever in the sick and utterly immoral institution of marriage. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML
Today, I got home and my girlfriend was wearing the ring I bought last week. Apparently she found it and thought to herself, "Fuck it, we’re engaged now so I’ll just start wearing it", completely bypassing the actual proposal part of getting engaged. I’m actually really mad at her right now. FML
Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I'd bought. She looked at it and said, "This is pathetic. You shouldn't even bother." FML
Today, my girlfriend turned down my marriage proposal because the ring I gave her was bigger than the one her sister got at her proposal. Apparently she wouldn't be able to brag to her sister without "looking like a bitch for having a bigger ring". FML
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, I found out my fiancée has been sleeping with the salesman I bought her engagement ring from. He knew. 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, I’m supposed to be proposing to my girlfriend in an hour, but my stupid, air-headed bitch sister found the ring, tried it on, took photos of her wearing it for her social media, then got on a plane to go on her girly holiday, but never took the ring off. The bitch thinks it’s funny. FML
Today, at work, my vindictive, cheating ex made me clean and inspect her new wedding ring. FML
Today, I saw a picture of my ex giving her new boyfriend an extremely familiar ring. Upon zooming in, I realized that it was the engagement ring I gave her that she claimed to have had stolen from her home. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

First, the fact that you don't like marriage doesn't make it sick or immoral. Second unless you have made it amply clear to your partner that you don't ever want to get married, they are entitled to think that if things go well, the relationship will eventually lead to marriage. Your girlfriend seems oblivious of the fact that you're so anti-marriage, so it's a **** her life from me

Then maybe you should let her know that so she doesn't keep waiting for something that's not going to happen.

Everyone seems to be hating on OP, but for all we know they've been dating for a week. Or he told her about it but she's now assumed it was all a front so he could surprise her. Or he's told her but she thought if she hung around long enough she could change his mind. Sure OP has some strong views on marriage but clearly we all do otherwise no one would be hating on him about it. So, you know, chill the **** out.

Well said. Dated a woman who told me that if I didn't marry her within 3 years of us officially dating she would find a man that would. I even told her before we dated that I was against marriage. She told me I would change my mind after a year. She finally found a man to marry, not me though.

Maybe you should tell her that, she obviously wants to get married and if that's not what you want she should have the chance to move on with someone who does. And as a non-religious married woman of 10 years I can tell you marriage is neither sick nor immoral. Don't knock down something you know nothing about.

How do you know he knows nothing about marriage? It's very possible he's been married before and formed his extreme and slightly weird opinion of it from that.

That escalated quickly! I'm sure you care about her OP but this really is a double edged sword. Either you lead her on or she gets her heart broken. Good luck.

Okay so how can you have such a strong opinion on marriage without her knowing???? Like don't you talk about stuff like that at all???? YDI.

Yer because it's all about you and what you want. It's best to tell her that so you don't waste her time.

Dude totally sounds like something you need to talk about. Plus I will never understand why people hate on marriage so much. I feel sorry for her not you

Agree with others. He's kind of leading her on, and she clearly doesn't see it as sick and immoral. Unfortunately your interests conflict, so FYL, and FHL.
