Today, my girlfriend of three weeks found the engagement ring I tried to give to my ex. She started crying and said yes. FML
I agree, your life sucks 56 237
You deserved it 12 343

lentmarz tells us more.

The story behind this is that when I proposed to my ex, and she said no, I was devastated. I hadn't really gotten over her, but my family set me up and I went out with her to humor them. We had a nice night and had gone out several times since. As for the ring, the materials were worth about $4000 and I spent over 2 weeks smelting and hand designing it. I spent so much time on it, that it didn't feel right to sell it. Also, I have made the decision never to see her again. So yes, I ran.

3 weeks? I I didn't even hold MY girlfriend's hand during the first three weeks XD

Why was she snooping around your room/house in the first place for her to find that? Unless she lives there, which is doubtful after 3 weeks of being together. Sounds like one of those girls that has fallen out of the cray cray tree. I recommend you run FAR away, and possibly change your name, if you decide to break up with this girl.

Good points raised, but downvoted for using cray cray. No. Just, no.

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.

Show it anyway

The reason you do not use "cray cray" is because it makes any person who uses it sound like an ignorant buffoon. Why use that, when you could have easily as said "crazy"? Also using the "No? Okay..." makes you sound like you are using that brain of yours to think real hard about proving a point. *hint: insert sarcasm here*

Wow. Well, if that's the way you all feel about "cray cray" and "no? okay" (most absurd thing to pick on someone over I've ever heard in my life, by the way, you all really have too much time on your hands to actually nit pick what someone is saying ON THE INTERNET). I'd rather be downvoted for saying something worth while, so.......Niggers, I hate gays, Gooks, Americans are retarded, I love wearing fur and skins of animals as fashion, FML is shit and so on (I don't say or do any of those things, I'm only making a point)

Sorry #70, you're all over the place with that comment. What sort of point were you trying to make, exactly? Unless I'm just missing something.

First off, "find" or was it snooping? Second... jeez, even at my most insecure (and I was pretty insecure at one point) I would NEVER consider binding myself to someone for life after three weeks. I have heard of "happily ever afters" that were whirlwind romances, but that's when it was clear both parties felt the same. I say DUMP HER. Her willingness to completely abandon any kind of life she has built on her own is NOT a good sign at all!

That's not even enough time for a credit check.

Can we all be invited to the wedding? Not all if FML, just those of us who care enough about you to comment. Its sounds like a perfect begining to a lovely wedding and solid relationship. I can just see you sharing this story with your grandchildren.

Am I the only one that is desperately hoping for a follow up?

At first, this FML sorta sounded like the OP was trying to give his ex that ring while he was in this new three week relationship. :P

You have to tell her even if she may get commited easily. It's not exactly fair on your girlfriend now. I am assuming you asked your ex to marry you or you wanted to ask her since you "tried". Starting with secrets is not going to lead to a healthy relationship. Then again, it already looks pretty unhealthy either way.

I wonder how long you can put the marriage off for

If I were OP, I'd put off the wedding forever.

3 weeks?? I would wait a bit longer either way .. Overly attached girlfriend? ;P
