Today, my boyfriend called me explaining that he is getting married this weekend to a woman he met on Craigslist. Why? Because I won't marry him, and he'll make an extra thousand dollars per month having a wife since he is in the army. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my fiancé and his family accused me of being with him only because he's rich, refusing to go ahead with the wedding. I accepted his marriage proposal 4 years ago, when he was penniless and unemployed. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that he expects me to agree to quit my job to cook and clean after we get married, or he will not show up at our wedding. He earns minimum wage and my salary is 17 times higher than his. FML
Today, the guy that I'm in love with and plan to marry some day told me he would choose a million dollars over me. I got upset and told him I no longer want to be with him. In an excited voice he said, "Really? So are you serious I don't have to worry about this love stuff anymore?" FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I should finish school early and get a job so we can get married, because then he'll have enough money to buy the truck he's had his eyes on for our whole relationship. FML
Today, I found out why my boyfriend of 5 years won't propose/marry me. He would rather wait for his estranged wife to meet someone, fall in love, decide to get married, and do the filing herself. He doesn't want to pay the couple of hundred dollars for the uncontested divorce filing. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, I found out that my long-distance boyfriend just got married because his "real" girlfriend is pregnant. FML
Today, my "boyfriend" told me that he loves money more than me and would date it if he could. FML
Today, while talking on the phone with my long-distance boyfriend, he let me know that he was getting married in August to "some girl" for his papers. After I objected, he told me, "Well, you can marry me if you want." I'm not sure if I just got dumped or proposed to. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Greedy little asshat, you are probably better off without him since he obviously values money over a relationship, honor, self-respect... etc. Look on the bright side. He'll probably catch a whole host of sexually transmitted diseases if he sleeps with her and considering she is off craigslist, he's taking a huge risk.

Your fault for not wanting to marry him

Hmm. You won't marry him, but you're objected to someone else marrying him? Weird to me, although that is a bit bullshit on his part too.

Kinda hoping OP comments and explains the reason for not marrying him. Should be interesting.

This is old, and I don't usually comment on old FMLs, but the amount of YDIs for the OP not marrying him absolutely disgusts me. She has no obligation to marry him, marriage doesn't always have to be the goal in a relationship, and the relationship can still be perfectly fine without it, even better sometimes. She probably just did not want to get married at the moment because she wasn't ready, be it emotionally, financially, or whatever, doesn't matter the reason, she shouldn't be expected or forced into something she did not want to do. Just because a person doesn't agree to get married at the moment, doesn't mean they should expect, or deserve, their SO running away. If they make their SO wait for years and lead them on, maybe, but I highly doubt this is that kind of situation. If you run away and ditch your SO because they won't agree to going through with a LIFE CHANGING event, you're immature and too selfish to be in a relationship because you fail to see it from the other person's perspective. When you get married, you marry because you WANT to be married, not so your SO can get a extra money, I would feel right insulted if my boyfriend ask for my hand in marriage for that reason. It's selfish, he's doing it out of financial gain for himself, not out of his love for me and our relationship.
