Today, my sister broke up with her boyfriend of 4 years because he hadn't "popped" the question. I've just spent the last 2 months helping him plan the perfect proposal. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my sister called me and asked if my boyfriend of 3 years had proposed to me yet. And now the surprise is ruined. FML
Today, my sister, who has been seeing a guy for a year, got engaged. I've been dating my boyfriend for over 5 years and let out some not so subtle hints and he basically refused to propose. This is her second marriage in the time of my relationship. FML
Today, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me because I hadn't popped the question to her yet. For the last six months, I have been respectfully trying to convince her over protective father to give me his blessing. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years asked his friend to propose to me for him, because he was too nervous to do it himself. FML
Today, after three years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed. To my best friend. FML
Today, at my birthday party in an expensive sushi restaurant that I spent hundreds of dollars to reserve, my boyfriend of 3 years proposed… to my sister. She said yes. They’ve been secretly seeing each other for the past year. She just graduated high school this past summer. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. 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, I broke up with my boyfriend because I was tired of waiting for him to propose. It turns out he was going to propose and had the ring and everything, but I fucked it all up. FML
Today, my sister asked me if I was going to be getting married "for real" this time, because she didn't want to waste her money like she did on my previous engagement. The reason that one didn't work out in the first place is because she slept with my fiancé. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This isn't your fault, or the boyfriend's. Your sister is a selfish little bitch. She could have asked him if she was so impatient. By the way, if she really did want to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him, then why couldn't she wait a while longer? Obviously she didn't love him that much if she can just toss him aside like that over something stupid. He's better off without her.

People, Who ever put "you totally deserved it" is an ass hole!! Its not her fault? She didnt know. If he explained everything to her than they would probably get back together.

Agreed^ Too many woman just want to "be married," doesn't matter to who. They have the idea that marriage will solve all those pesky relationship problems. Breaking up with someone because they didn't pop the question is the most counter-intuitive thing I've ever heard. "I want to spend the rest of my life with this person, but I want it to happen NOW."

This is one of the most true comments I've seen on FML.

I don't think it's a question of just being desperate to get married to someone. I think it's a question of wanting to marry that particular person, but thinking if they haven't asked after that long that they obviously don't feel the same way, so it's best to move on since you can't have a happy relationship when you're not on the same page with such a big issue. But yes, of course she could have tried asking him first before breaking up. This is a pretty old FML so I hope the OP told her sister about his plans and everything worked out for them in the end.

YDI for being stupid! WTH? why don't you just clear it up??? of course if there were more severe reasons than this one, then it doesn't make any sense to continue this relationship. what is this?? you should've explained it... or her boyfriend should've done it! the surprise may would've been ruined and he might have to make up a new way to propose to her, but is it that bad?
