Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got engaged to my boyfriend of three years. I made the announcement on my status on facebook so people would congratulate me. The only response I got about my engagement was from a girl I knew saying; "Umm, he didn't tell you he was cheating on you for three years with me?" FML
Today, my sister made her engagement official on Facebook. When I shared the post to spread the word, people didn't read her boyfriend's name, and I started getting questions on why my sister and I were getting married. FML
Today, I discovered that my boyfriend was planning on proposing to me tomorrow. I found out after receiving a couple of a dozen texts from friends and relatives bitching me out for not telling them. Apparently, my dad thought it would be appropriate to make the announcement for me on his Facebook page. FML
Today, I got a call from a friend asking why I didn't tell him I was engaged. I'm not, but I wish I was. Rumours about my life seem to be better than the reality. 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 found out that my husband proposed to his girlfriend, and that her mom had posted it on Facebook. FML
Today, I married the love of my life, which was meant to stay secret until we can afford a ceremony. I opened Facebook to see that my hubby’s mom made a post about it, called me her new daughter-in-law, and tagged me. All 3 things we specifically asked her not to do. FML
Today, I received several texts congratulating me on my pregnancy. It turns out that my husband announced he is going to be a father on Facebook, which I don't use. I'm not pregnant. FML
Today, I announced to my friends that I'd proposed to my girlfriend and she'd said yes. I thought they'd be happy for me, since they were the ones who introduced me to her after all. Instead, they all were flabbergasted. One told me, "You realize we set you up with that fat chick as a joke, right?" FML
Today, I got engaged to the most wonderful man in the world. I excitedly called my mom to tell her the great news, thinking she'd be excited too. Her only response? "Oh." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm pretty sure there's something you aren't telling us for that to be the case.

I agree. Often times, family and friends can see something off about your SO that you're missing. So imo it's a good idea to at least really listen to what they're saying. The only other explanation, would be if their relationship is a "taboo" depending on her surroundings. Like say the age difference is greater than what's accepted in her area, or maybe she lives in a very rich/religious/racist area and her fiance is poor/other religion/race.

I bet he's a known cheater and drug kingpin.

31 not always. I had my first relationship at 15-16, and my mom swore up and down that the way he looked at me, or the look in his eyes showed so much love. He was a liar, cheater, abusive and manipulative, and yes I had proof of it all. straight from the girl's mouth in addition to other proofs. It was fine for him to break up once or twice. But once I tried to, just once after all that, he grabs me, and grabs a knife and puts it up to his throat crying and threatening suicide. Wasted my virginity on him. That screwed me up so badly and I still have some issues today 11 years later from it. I had no proof he would do it, but what if? He put his life in my hands. I couldn't deal with that. He'd hurt me but then make me feel like I need him and vice versa, so instead of being happy and relieved when it was over, I became suicidal and horribly depressed for years. I think for most people...a really bad first impression or experience can really **** with your own mental health if it isn't already. I was as good of a gf as I could be to him but it wasn't enough. Karma happened to him though. After cheating and getting back with his first (allegedly first), they didn't last. Now he's married to some Wailord. The disgusting cigarettes will get him as well no doubt. It all turns around. Good people get their dues eventually. :)

Wow so sorry that happened to you. He will get what he deserves in the end, karma is like that.

#52 You should not have let him extort you with suicide. At least if he did it you'd be free sooner. You shouldn't care less because it wouldn't be your fault anyways.

if so many people are saying this to OP, he/ she might need to learn more about his/ her future spouse before settling down with them

Probably. I can think of two girls I know right now that are in dysfunctional relationships but would instantly say "yes" to a proposal. They're the kind of relationship that makes you lose friends and the ones who don't knave constantly tell you to move on for your own good.

Social media announcements are so last year. Get with the times, OP. It's all about scrolls and pigeons now. Speaking of...I've got a great deal on messenger pigeons. Two for the price of one. You won't find better prices.

Are you seeing your fiancé in the same way they are seeing your fiancé?
