Today, I made fun of a friend at a dinner party after he forgot to put his engagement ring on. It turned out his fiancée actually ended the engagement last week, and everyone thinks I was being spiteful just because the girl is my ex. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, my fiancée handed me her engagement ring back and told me she felt like she's pressuring me into marriage, so to make me feel better about it we’re no longer engaged. On top of this, I found out she’s started talking to her ex again. FML
Today, I finally made the last payment on the beautiful engagement ring I bought and proposed with - two years ago. To my ex-girlfriend, who said no and promptly started sleeping with one of my friends. FML
Today, I was invited to a party to celebrate my ex-fiancée's recent engagement. The party is at work, because my ex is also my boss. Her new fiancée is some guy she met while on a "business trip" that happened while we were still engaged. FML
Today, at work, my vindictive, cheating ex made me clean and inspect her new wedding ring. FML
Today, I discovered my fiancé has been telling everyone else we are just friends, yet last night he wanted me to go with him to pick up my engagement ring. I'm supposing the wedding will be a surprise to everyone. FML
Today, I was at a party at my ex's house; he'd invited the whole team. We of course don't talk, but I just figured out he had a girlfriend. He said it right in my face and laughed. FML
Today, an ex-boyfriend of mine came to the jewelry store I work at to pick out an engagement ring for his girlfriend. The same guy who just a few months earlier ended our 8-year relationship because I wanted marriage and he didn't. FML
Today, at my anniversary party, and in front of all our friends, I accidentally called my husband-to-be by my ex-boyfriend's name. FML
Today, I called off my engagement with my now ex-girlfriend. Yesterday, while drunk at a get-together with all our friends, she admitted she's still in love with her best friend, and only went out with me to forget about him, but is still pining for him anyway. She doesn't understand why that factoid might upset me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

No, no foot in mouth. You didn't know they ended it, and you probably would've said the said thing if it were any other girl anyway.

I don't see the YDI in this, how would OP just magically know why the person wasn't wearing his ring?

I thought guys weren't usually wearing an engagement ring, only the girl? Unless the girl proposed, but still.... Dumb me down if I'm wrong.

Why is a straight guy scoping his male friends for rings? My friends could lose a finger and if they did not tell me I would never notice.

Oh man... this is totally something that I would do. I feel for you. Sometimes you just wish you could just erase everyone in the room's memory of the past 30 seconds

That's either a new custom for a man wearing an engagement ring or you live outside the US. Really awkward situation though.

OP is in South Africa and I have never heard of this custom either.

I've never heard of a man wearing an engagement ring. Either way, you didn't know so don't feel bad.
