Today, my boyfriend of five years finally asked me to marry him. He said, "We could save on taxes if we got married… What do you think?" That was the most romantic thing he's said to me in the last two years. FML

Today, my boyfriend of several years, and father of our one-year-old child, finally proposed. He was making idle conversation from twenty feet away and casually said, "By the way, you wanna get hitched?" This is as romantic as my life will ever get. Yay. FML

Today, my boyfriend of over two years said he wants to get married before he leaves for basic training. Not because he loves me, but because he'll get paid more if he's married. This is the only time he's been excited about marriage. FML

You're complaining about him not saying anything romantic to you, and yet you're still with him....Do you not see a slight issue there, OP?

That was the conversation between my husband and I. Theres an almost 6yr old FML I posted about him being deathly sick the day of, where the commenters roast me for drinking a single bottle of bubbly through the night(because it would go flat in the fridge anyways). I kinda wish we at least had a small ceremony(court house) but I'm happy. I'd marry him again. Also, we would have been screwed on our taxes that year.
