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

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.

So you get what you want but don't tell her that she's not going to get what she eventually wants. That's a selfish, one sided relationship. **** HER life.

If you're not interested in marriage, your girlfriend should probably know. You sound like a douche, tbh.

Everyone's saying **** the girlfriend's life, but it sounds like she's dodging a bullet to be honest. OP sounds like an immature asshole who probably uses the term "fundie" on a regular basis. The girlfriend can do better.

God I really hope you weren't trying to Get sympathy for you being a ass over nothing. Maybe talk to her about the ring or that you don't like the idea of marriage.

Why is marriage bad?

Maybe he's afraid of commitment and won't admit it? Other than that I can't help you in answering your question.

IE: I want most of the benefits of marriage but with no legal recourse when I go out drinking vodka and Red Bulls and cheat with the first skag that bites, right?

Was she aware of your views on marriage before hand? Is she one of those people that says they're fine with no marriage but then gets excited at the idea of it? Either way, sounds like you two definitely need to have a discussion to clear this up. Best of luck, OP!

Ouch, that sucks for sure. Not sure why so many people are hitting YDI.

It's because his idea of marriage is completely invalid.
nevereyes 31
Um no it's not, his idea of marriage is reasonable and perfectly fine. Not everyone likes or wants marriage

Because he's leading her on. She thinks he's going to propose one day but he's never going to. Unless he told her straight up how he feels, he deserves it.

You need to tell your girlfriend that you're not interested in marriage and stop leading her on. You're wasting her time, by not telling her.

you need to tell her your feelings on marriage.
