Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. 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, I broke up with my boyfriend because I was tired of waiting for him to propose. It turns out he was going to propose and had the ring and everything, but I fucked it all up. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML
Today, my ex-boyfriend announced he was engaged. We broke up last night. FML
Today, my fiancée broke up with me over text message while I was away for work. She later posted photos of her and her new boyfriend on Facebook, while still wearing my engagement ring. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. 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, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over two hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend's proposal speech somehow ended with him breaking up with me. FML

"Do you like this diamond?" "I was thinking of getting moissanite instead." "YOU'RE A MONSTER. IT'S OVER!" Something like that?

That's when the Fish from The Other Guys go out to eat, then develop breathing apparatuses, then start hunting for Giraffes...

You guys couldn't have left it as it is?

what is it lately with people breaking up?

It wouldn't be much of an FML if she'd said "my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring today and he proposed in the store!"

Holiday season, I think. Holiday stress can bring put the worst in people. Thst , and it's FML. Not too many happy ending statuses on FML, by default.

People have always been breaking up. You just don't read FML stories like: "My boyfriend and I are happily together. FML"

You should probably not get married

They aren't going to get married now...

I believe that was stated indirectly in the FML.

Thanks for the clarification, the post didn't clarify it enough

You know how many people "break up" just to get back together? All I was saying is if it's that easy for them to break up in the first place, they shouldn't have even thought of getting married.

Well that's the biggest plot twist ever. :/

Oh god that had me laughing!

You must be friends with the guy who's proposal speech ended up being a breakup speech.

luckily it happened before you got married. splitting up is less hard than getting a divorce, I'm sorry OP.

I think you probably have the closest guess out of anyone.

I'm thinking she said "I want a princess cut diamond ring cause I'm a princess. " Guy: "Psssf, hahaha. You're far from Cinderella." The rest kinda writes itself.

Yep, she probably demanded a ring that would cost him 3 years salary to buy

At least he broke up with you before you married him!

Well, OP, I'm sorry, but maybe it's for the best, huh? That's terrible though. Hopefully you find the right guy for you soon.
