Today, I proposed to my girlfriend while we were on my couch having a romantic moment. She seemed incredibly excited when she saw the ring and put it on. The way she bolted out the door tells me I'm not going to see her again. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 5 years. She bitched me out for not getting the ring she had been "hinting" me to get, and angrily left. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. When she saw the ring, she got so excited that she ran to kiss me and it flew out of my hand, over the balcony of our suite, and fell roughly 45 stories straight down. I could feel my wallet screaming as a £4000 diamond vanished into the night. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend, only for her to slap me, throwing the "fake ring" away and storming off, convinced it was a cruel joke. FML
Today, my girlfriend confessed that she was scared that she was more in love with me than I was in her, and that she was afraid I would leave her. So she left me instead. I'd been thinking about proposing. FML
Today, I got home and my girlfriend was wearing the ring I bought last week. Apparently she found it and thought to herself, "Fuck it, we’re engaged now so I’ll just start wearing it", completely bypassing the actual proposal part of getting engaged. I’m actually really mad at her right now. FML
Today, I woke up to a note on my nightstand from my fiancée, along with the ring I proposed to her with yesterday, which stated that not only was she not ready to be married, but she’d been planning to end things before I “blindsided" her. FML
Today, my girlfriend caught the bouquet at her sister's wedding. I took it as a sign so after we got home, I proposed. She laughed and said no way. I'm done. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She just grabbed the ring and said in a raspy voice, "My precious..." FML
Today, my girlfriend fell asleep while I was proposing. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

O ye of little faith, OP. she was just going to tell her friends she's getting married! And driving away to see her family. And blocking your number because she's getting a new phone. And leaving the country because..she...um, okay, maybe she ditched you.

She didn't say she'll be right back because she's showing it off I thought OP said she wasn't going to see him him again.

Damn this iPhone for freezing when I try and make comments ... Gah please accept my apologies FML community as I am in need of an upgrade.

Truly, I doubt going to show it off is why she left in a hurry. Yet, I feel genuinely confused as to how this all happened. OP gives her the ring, she excitedly puts it on, and the leaves without another word? I mean, it certainly seems like a rejection, but can the girlfriend honestly think she can get away with the ring and never see OP again? They've been dating for awhile obviously, he probably knows where she: lives/works/hangs out plus at least some of her friends and family. The only way it could make sense to me, is of maybe she was in shock/didn't know how to express her emotions and reacted badly (by bailing).

I agree with #1. Partly because I really wish for the best for OP, but also because I know someone who has done this. No judgment - the girl I know was just super excited, and wanted to show her family in person.

39- The "my phone freezes", "my brother took my phone", "it was autocorrect" excuses do not work. I can't believe you went there.

Well if she didn't say yes and took off report it stolen. Lol . you proposed which requires a yes or no answer . If the answer is no then the girl doesn't get the ring . Yes = ring No = no ring. Am I wrong to think like this?
NoSubway4Me 8
But if she went to show if off really quick, wouldn't she have been back or called or something before he had a chance to post the FML...? I don't see why he would IMMEDIATELY post this unless she really did not come back. FYL.

There is also the possibility the entire FML is made up or misconstrued to make it an FML when it isn't and they wanted to get one published. Not say it is necessarily false, it's just a possibility
zinoxity 23
I say that if she actually stole it, just call the police. They'll be able to localize her.

116's right. Not sure of states law, but in pa, you break off the engagement, the ring goes back to the buyer. Or as most married men would say, lucky dog!

Should have put a tracking device in it. It might have come in handy at one point or another.
kittytub 12
I'm not quite sure that's a common practice, haha.
kikiwi_fml 9
It's the new thing for unfaithful spouses. Didn't you hear?
gc327072 31
How does that fit on a ring? What powers it?
lilhellian 27
19 Magic!
gc327072 31
Ah, a joke. Well, that flew over my head at Mach 2.

"Here honey, I got you a tracking device! It also comes with a ring glued to it!"
Beeftinkle 13
Actualy maybe it would be possible to have a tracking device in the ring if the device was specially made to loop inside the ring, there are some really small trackers out there, and to power it it could use the technology some watches use that automatically work when they are worn and are being constantly moved around, i forgot the exact name of it.

Kinetic
Beeftinkle 13
Thats the one ;), thanks miz... But yeah kinetic watches are great, thats the kind of watch i use now and love it.
imavelociraptor 6
If she was cheating she would have taken off the ring so the other person didn't see it...
CheeseTron 15
66- I'm pretty sure its piezo electronics.
sens3sfailing 25
71- the point was it could be used for that, nobody was insinuating she was unfaithful, just either a very inefficient con/thief or a girl who gets excited and just losses bits of thought in the moment, happens to me all the time...not this badly though...

I'm sure she just left to show off to everybody. good luck OP :)

No, she obviously left because she doesn't wanna marry him... Idiot. Doesn't take a genius to figure that one out. So much stupidity on this site, Jesus Christ.

That's pretty ironic since it's coming from you, ain't it?

She left the country to tell her friends, who conviently have no internet, cell phone or any other forms of communication.
gc327072 31
And who conveniently for her are handsome, fit men.
TheZee 12
And although extremely handsome and fit, non of them could afford a ring to get married to her... So now, since that part is taken care of, her life is complete :O!... Just not with OP.
TheZee 12

DAYUM. :) next time turn that ring into a shock collar! train that out of her!
chellyX92 8
Insinuating women can be trained like dogs, nice one. You must be great with the ladies.

Oh, i didn't know she represented all the women in this world...
mfischer 17
If she does, then I am never proposing to my girlfriend.

rude much?

"Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger" ... Well actually ...
little_one 20
Well now he's a broke........ You know the rest.
desoto96 9
And if OP is a white guy, how would the next line go? Just curious.
unsuccesfulmastu 4
^ He's a broke wiggeroo. That's how it goes bro.
DocBastard 40
And you just watched her leave? Run after that gold digger and tackle her. If she says she was just excited, tell her you were too - you just wanted to "celebrate" the engagement.
lilhellian 27
Didn't you know that gold digging ho's can run in high heels.
linyah 11
well..you could either wait, call her, or go to her home..and if nothing could call the cops? XD well that maybe an ass thing to do but meh. Hopefully she just took off to spread the good news.
alycion 39
Call the cops? He technically gave her the ring. Doubt they would do much about it.
alycion 39
I should say depending on state they won't do much in some cases. Knew someone who got dumped after giving ring and was told it was a gift and to take it up in court. Police wouldn't step in.
Ameel_fml 19
The law might be different in different states/countries, but I'm pretty sure an engagement ring is legally considered the OP's property until they get married. So the police should be able to take it from her if OP has the receipt.
Bright_Lights 14
Ha, the police are completely useless, they wouldn't get off their asses for a stupid engagement ring, they barely can be bothered to investigate murders... Lazy pigs!
Sir_Swaggington 6
So the girl is just borrowing it until the marriage? That just sounds odd.
Bright_Lights 14
WHY WAS MY COMMENT REMOVED?! COPS ARE PIGS! I'M JUST PREACHING THE TRUTH, DON'T CENSOR ME!! YOU'RE JUST AS BAD AS THE COPS WHO CENSOR OTHERS!!
frecktured 14
I don't understand why OP doesn't chase after her and rather have the time to post a fml here. YDI
