Today, my girlfriend's 8-year-old daughter decided that I'm going to marry her mom and send her to an orphanage. I blurted out, "Marriage?! No one's talking about marriage!" Now my girlfriend is mad at me, and her daughter is still scared of me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I admitted to my best friend that I was having second thoughts about getting married and was probably going to break up with him. Unfortunately, my fiance's daughter, who I absolutely adore, overheard the conversation and threw a huge screaming tantrum asking why I didn't want to be her mommy anymore. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of six years. She got mad at me, saying she is too young to get married and that I was trying to ruin her career. She is 32 and works part-time at a grocery store. FML
Today, my mother came into my workplace to wail on me for "ruining our family's reputation" because I got a girl pregnant. I've been married to the "girl" for 8 years. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend's father if I could marry his daughter. He smiled, shook my hand, and said "No. Now get out of my house." FML
Today, my girlfriend of two years finally agreed to marry me. As I went on with the proposal, her Grandma tried rejecting me by saying, "These guys have gangster friends." FML
Today, my mother found out that my fiancée broke up with her last boyfriend because she didn't want kids and he did. She's now demanding that I either change her mind, or call things off with her. FML
Today, my mom had my girlfriend and me over. Out of the blue, she pulled out my grandmother's wedding ring and gave it to me saying I can now propose. My girlfriend started screaming and said yes. I have been seeing someone else for 3 months and was going to break up with my girlfriend tomorrow. FML
Today, my awful future daughter-in-law went off on me and said that I'm just jealous that she's marrying my son and I'm not. Furious, I told my husband, expecting him to side with me, but all he said was, "Well… are you?" FML
Today, my girlfriend's father sent me a text message that simply stated "You ruined my relationship with my daughter." I wanted to ask him for his blessing to marry his daughter. FML

You assume he means ever. He likely meant as of that moment in time. Most people don't talk about it until they're ready. Who starts a relationship saying you're gonna marry someone before you get to know them?

YDI lol Y’all should’ve had that conversation before y’all decided to start dating “and see what happened” 🧐 It’s called intentional dating... anything outside of that is setting yourself up for these kinds of problems 🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️ Figure it out 💁🏾♂️

I don’t think what you blurted out was wrong. You’re not thinking of marriage just yet, that’s you’re right. The child isn’t yours and it’s her mums job to make her daughter feel and know she won’t be pushed to the side for anyone. Stand your ground mate 👍

well if he's taking the relationship with this woman seriously he should be thinking about making the daughter comfortable even if he's not marrying the woman yet. the fact that she's scared of him is 100% an issue and instead of just blurting things out maybe he should have thought about what he was going to say and assure her that 1 she's not going to an orphanage, and 2 there's no plans of marriage. a childs mental distress should be more important than their opinion on marriage....

Ok, clearly the child is anxious about her mom's relationship. It's Girlfriend's responsibility to talk with her and hear her concerns, and assure her that things will be ok. It's good that she has an instinct to not trust you yet, it isn't just a trope, the vast majority of domestic abuse towards children comes from step-parents.
