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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

How is it immoral? I don't like the idea of marriage either but I definitely don't see it as immoral and sick.

I'm kinda curious why people who don't want to get married are all down voted. You don't need to be married to love somebody. You don't need to be married for jack shit honestly. You are the same two people before a wedding as you were after. Except now you have a ring, a paper that says congrats, and most likely a shit ton in debt. My Aunt is about 60 and isn't married. She's been with her partner for years and years now.

There are reasons to get married, but they are legal ones. It makes things easier, certainly. However, if you never want to get married it doesn't make you a horrific person.

How would they be in debt? Unless the s.o. was in debt and then just dropped that bombshell on the other, I don't see how they'd be in debt.

Huh. I'm a married woman and I don't feel oppressed or immoral or anything. Didn't have a religious part of it, spent about $250 for a ceremony that was just a party to celebrate. We did it so I could get spouse insurance benefits, plus we got a break on our car insurance and taxes and the spouse privileges at the hospital came in really really handy a few years later. Also, we love each other and it's kind of nice to make a clear declaration of that to the world that people understand. It's so strange to see people on the internet going on and on about how stupid and immoral it was of me to get married. Whatever, I wouldn't change a thing, I like being married and I'm not hurting anyone.

hey, to each his own! girl if you wanna get married in a dress made of bananas that is completely and 100% your choice. marriage just isn't for everyone, is all. so don't let people that don't share your views get you down. :) either way, good for you! you're with someone you love and that makes your life a bit easier, from how you put it

I don't particularly care for marriage either. If I truly love someone I don't need a piece of paper to sanction that. My relationship is real regardless. Be that as it may, I'd love a follow up on this. Have you told her your stance and she just doesn't care? Is this something that's never come up before? HAVE you been leading her on? As one of the apparently few sympathetic readers, I'd like to know more, and why you don't care for marriage.
