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.

I'm always hesitant with FMLs that contain engagements with unsupportive friends/family. When this amount of close people are this upset and critical of the engagement, it's really makes you consider that something about it could be questionable. Like, how does he treat you? How long have you been together? How old are you? These can all have a factor on why they're critical of the engagement. Although they're being blunt and embarrassing you over social media wasn't right, they might be trying to save you from making a mistake. Often when it comes to significant others, "love makes you blind."

There is waaay too little information here, but if the overwhelming majority of people disapprove of your relationship, they have most likely witnessed something you have failed to disclose or are willingly ignoring.

If you have that many people calling you stupid, you may need reevaluate the person you're now engaged to. Like do they know something about them that you don't? Did you not meet very long ago and they feel you're rushing into it before really thinking about it?

Is it your brother? (This applies to whatever gender you are.)
