Today, after the topic of grandkids came up yet again, my fiancé confessed that we've been having trouble conceiving. Later, I overheard his mum telling him to take my engagement ring back to the store and get a refund, because apparently I'm not worth marrying if I can't give him kids. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend told me he doesn't think he should marry me, because I have kids. They're his kids. FML
Today, my almost-mother-in-law demanded I give my engagement ring back because it was originally her great-grandmother's, and she has now decided she wants it to go to her youngest son’s fiancée instead. My fiancé agreed and told me he’d just buy me another. He doesn’t get why I’m so upset either. FML
Today, my mother-in-law asked me when my fiancé and I were going to start having children. When I told her we weren't planning on having any, she went on a tirade about how selfish and cold I am for denying her precious grandchildren. Now she hates me. FML
Today, I went with my beautiful fiancée to tell her grandmother, who's a bit senile, that we got engaged. Her response, "I know he's very nice, but think about the chubby little ugly children he'll give you." This was followed by a recollection of her ex-boyfriends who would've fathered attractive kids. FML
Today, my fiancé broke off our engagement after he saw one of my baby pictures. He said our future kids "just wouldn't look right." FML
Today, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, we told my fiancé's parents that I'm pregnant. His mom's response? "I'm going to throw up. You can't raise a child." We are both 28, self-sufficient and everyone else is thrilled. FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML
Today, while discussing kids, my fiancé told me he has a kid already with his previous fiancé, but he hates kids so much, he left and moved to this country before it was born. He doesn’t even know if it’s a boy or girl, because he simply doesn’t give a toss. Yes, I’m pregnant. FML
Today, my fiancé thinks that the only reason I innocently asked him how soon he wants to have kids after we get married is that he thinks I'm racing to beat a friend or family member. Now I can't even be excited about starting a family with this man without having ulterior motives. FML

Oh, she's one of those people who think the sole purpose of marriage or any relationship is to pump out kids. Give me a break.

Would-be grandmas blow everything out of proportion. So rude of her!

Basic literacy isn't for everyone, I guess. Slow down next time or your brain might catch fire.

Wow. Talk about a monster-in-law. And, if you're having trouble conceiving, there's always in vitro fertilization and things like that. Go see a doctor to see if there's anything that can be fixed to help you have a baby. Good luck!

Also consider adoption! I know it's not for everyone, but there are so many kids in the foster care system that need parents.

what if the fiance is the one who is infertil? do you think she thought of that?
Benpie 22
*infertile And you're right, usually it's the father's sperm at fault when a couple is having trouble conceiving, not the mother.

*hands lemonade and straw hat* Your required break, sir?

But, the sole reason for our existence is to reproduce, so yes the sole purpose of marriage is to reproduce
tarlax 11
ONE of our biological "purposes" may be to reproduce, but marriage isn't a biological construct anyway, it's a social one. Your sad attempt at logic and wit is as bizarre as it is embarrassing. Seriously, WTF were you thinking with that comment?
iMuffinKat 16
Agreed with 91 about what 90 said. Our sole purpose is to reproduce. Okay. But marriage's sole purpose isn't to have kids unless we were all born to just get married the second we came into this world. Why do you think we have birth control pills and abortions? Because some marriages DON'T want to have kids.

Sorry, she sounds like a major bitch and I hope your fiancé stands up to her about it.

Not even married, yet the crazy bitch expects you to be a breed mare.
Red_Curls1995 28
What a horrid woman! If you two want kids there's plenty of options. It seems she thinks marriage is just for having kids.
kloring1 15
You aren't even married yet! She needs to relax a bit.
stangbang92 17
Obviously marriage doesn't have a part in the kid making as they are already trying to conceive.
anonymous198913 26
Sorry that happened to you! You should see a doctor about your ability to have kids... They might have medication to help!

but it never says it's her, just that they are having trouble. the fiance could be infertil instead.
