Today, my boyfriend of 6 years told me that since I've proven my loyalty and faithfully stuck by his side, he has no reason to ever consider marrying me, because "It's not like you're going anywhere, honey." He seems not to understand why I am upset by this. FML

Today, my boyfriend "proposed" to me. When we first started dating, he told me that he hated the concept of marriage and absolutely never wanted to go through with it. So I laughed and turned him down, obviously thinking it was just a joke. He was serious. FML

Today, I demanded to know why my boyfriend even stays with me if he’s not interested in marriage or children, hates my family, barely talks to me when he gets home, and seems uninterested in sex. Apparently, the cheap rent on my flat was his sole interest in me. FML

Wedding bells

By Sad sad bride - 16/07/2025 00:00 - United States

Today, my boyfriend of several years told me the only way he’d ever consider getting married was if we had no wedding, just signing the paper at the courthouse with no ceremony or guests whatsoever, and as long as we don’t tell anyone about it. He doesn’t get why I’m devastated. FML

Today, my boyfriend said, "I won't marry you, but I want to spend my life with you." When I told him that upset me, he said, "My ex completely changed once we got married, and I like you as you are now." FML

Today, I found out my ex just got engaged to a girl he met 3 months ago, shortly before he ended our 5 year relationship. His reason for breaking up was that he didn't believe in marriage and couldn't be with someone who wanted to get married. Right. FML

On the bright side at least he was honest, now you can probably see how far that can go.

Terribly sorry, but I don't understand how there can be any possible reason to how a person can "not believe in marriage". This might spark a debate, but I'm serious.

It's impossible for an adult to not believe in marriage because there's living proof it exists right in front of them - people get married all the time. It's quite another for a person to not believe in getting married. It's either something they believe should be done, or something they don't.

marriage ruins everything if u have freedom you won't use it much but if your bound to one person once any opportunity arises they'll use it

Fatraptor, give it up. You're a teenager and have no idea about life. I AM married, and I wouldn't give it up for anything. I've been with my wife for 15 years, and she is my best friend and closest ally. Marriage isn't for everyone, it's true. But to say that it ruins everything is ridiculous and proves that you don't know shit about shit.

Your wife is a lucky lady, 90. I hope she knows it. I'm also happily married, to my high-school sweetheart. :)

Today, while taking a test in my online class, my sister unexpectedly showed up. She panicked when she realized what I was doing, as the class has a strict rule of being 100% alone during tests. I assured her that because she wasn't helping me to cheat, it would be fine. Turns out it wasn't fine, as I got a zero. FML

Today, I accidentally slipped on a wet floor at my local mall after copious amounts of snow. There was no sign. I accidentally hit a lady trying to help me when falling backwards and gave her a bloody nose. I am now banned from the mall for two weeks and told I was lucky she didn’t press charges. FML
