Today, my mom had my girlfriend and me over. Out of the blue, she pulled out my grandmother's wedding ring and gave it to me saying I can now propose. My girlfriend started screaming and said yes. I have been seeing someone else for 3 months and was going to break up with my girlfriend tomorrow. FML

Today, my girlfriend's mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML

Today, I went to my girlfriend's house to break up with her. It was a hard decision and both of us became quite emotionally overwhelmed at the time. We began to hug as a final goodbye, then her mum burst in the room and yelled, "HE FINALLY PROPOSED!" FML

Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML

Today, I was lying in bed minding my own business when my mom entered the room. I was proposed to a few weeks ago by my boyfriend, and my mom came in to tell me that my boyfriend's mom was on the phone. Turns out, he stole the engagement ring from her drawer. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML

Today, my girlfriend told me she wanted get to know my mom, so they went off and had a chat. After an hour, I noticed my girlfriend was gone and my mom was waiting for me. Apparently I've been dumped through my mother. FML

Today, I took my girlfriend of five and a half years to family dinner at a restaurant. After we all had finished dessert, I got down on one knee, pulled out my great grandmother's ring and proposed. The entire restaurant was dead silent. She looked around and then slowly walked out. FML

I sure hope you weren't stupid enough to post this on FML and actually expect sympathy from other people. And to be honest, this isn't very funny or amusing. It just makes me think your a jackass.

The whole fiasco is your own fault for going behind your girlfriend's back. She obviously really cares about you, and if you were planning to break up with her, you should have done it BEFORE seeing another girl for three months. You have to consider peoples feelings, you know.

I can imagine this FML: "Today my boyfriend's mother pulled out his grandmother's wedding ring and said he could propose now. I was so happy I started screaming, 'yes!' over and over. Turns out he was going to break up with me for the girl he's been seeing behind my back for three months. FML"

That's why you shouldn't cheat, you're a mega-douche.

"Today my boyfriend's mother surprised us with her mother's (his grandma's) wedding ring. She was letting him propose. The problem? He had been seeing someone else for 3 months and wanted to break up with me. FML"
