Today, my boyfriend of several years, and father of our one-year-old child, finally proposed. He was making idle conversation from twenty feet away and casually said, "By the way, you wanna get hitched?" This is as romantic as my life will ever get. Yay. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

So THAT'S where they come from! My mom gave me some bs lie about sex and pregnancy. She even told me baby showers were about giving women gifts. Good to know that was all a filthy lie.

Well at least he loves you and wants to marry you!!

Say yes...

Well if she's been with him for several years I doubt she'd say no

FYL OP hope it gets better :)

I can see how that'd be disappointing in the moment, but the proposal isn't that important in the long run. My husband interrupted my video game time and proposed to me while we were sitting on the couch, one random Wednesday afternoon. The important thing is that he loves you. Best wishes OP!

The important thing is he has a paycheck. If he's not supporting your baby (and you, to some extent), you're just getting a leech attached to you. Who needs that?
unknown_user5566 27
I see what you mean, money to support your child is the most important thing in general when you become a parent. However, for the proposal/marriage, love (should) be the foundation. Why are you having a serious conversation with me, anyway? You have naked Zumba to prepare for. Hop to it! ;)

67- This comment is irrelevant to the FML, but I'll say it anyway. I just want to say that you're becoming one of my favourite people on here. Okay. Carry on. 0.o

^ Gotta agree wih you, Kyleekay started becoming one of my favourite commentators when she started fighting my verbal battles for me. ;P Doesn't hurt that she's a looker too, I guess. *Tease!* ;)

wow draco you'll hit on anything wit **** won't you. ps: she isn't THAT good looking
unknown_user5566 27
Aw, shucks. Thanks guys. And Draco, of course I was fighting your verbal battles for you. Silly you, thinking that was actually your job. Now scurry back to the kitchen, and finish making my crepes. ;)

143- You again? Tell me you're not wishing I'd hit on you. ;p Not that it should matter to Kylee what you think about her, but your response sounds a little bitter, friend. She's attractive, and I have the feeling you saying otherwise is only to be mean. But, I'll tell you what, Jakk: you go ahead and show me your ****, and I'll jokingly flirt with you too, okay? ;) Cheers.

142- She became one of my favourites when I started seeing her comments everywhere and I didn't disagree with any of them. Lol. She is quite pretty, though. You're right. xD

Look on the bright side, he loves you and wants to marry you. Better than him running out when he found out you were pregnant.

At least he didnt leave you

I think you found yourself a bitch-man. They're spreading like wildfire. Good luck to you both though. Hopefully his personal motivation is far better than his romance skills, or lack thereof
