Today, I announced my engagement on social media. I got more people telling me how stupid I was than any actually congratulating me. FML

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.

Maybe they know something you don't? See if you can't get some objectivity out of them...?

I know nothing about your or your fiance, but if all of your family and friends are telling you that you are making a mistake, there is almost definitely something more than meets the eye. One or two people might be jealous or just bitter, but more than that... Sit down and have a chat with some of these people, and remember that marriage is not something to enter flippantly or with reckless abandon. Do you really want to be with your fiance years down the road?

Somethig tells me u are probably super young or extremely immature or both

Yeah, I'm going to need the full story on this one. If the majority of your friends and family disapprove, typically, it's within good reason.

Either something wrong with your fiancé or with your friends.

Firstly, congratulations! Secondly, they shouldn't have embarrassed you on social media. Good gracious! Thirdly, perhaps they want what they think is best for you, just that they showed it in a stupid way. Unless they've been telling you from the get go what's wrong about your relationship... This post definitely needs a follow-up lol. Fourthly, you're the one who's going to marry perhaps the man of your dreams, not them, so unless there really is something wrong abour your significant other, then don't worry about them. Fifthly, yeah I numbered my paragraphs because I'm just that lame.

Fair point ^_^ I think embarrassing OP like that isn't the way to go. BUT perhaps there really is something wrong in the relationship. Hopefully the family and friends can help OP out! On the other hand, I'm truly sorry no one liked the lameness in my previous comment. ^_^;;

If they are making public comments like this then either OP lives their life on Facebook or they've tried to talk to her already and they just are not listening. It's probably a combination of both.

go out into the world and show those people wrong op. don't let other people's opinions make you think less about yourself or anything else

How old are you two & how long have you known each other? I'm betting the answer to one of these is the reason so many people you know are against it.
