Today, my boyfriend proposed to me with the prettiest, most simple ring I have ever seen. I called my sister to tell her the good news, and her response was, "I know. He had me steal the ring from Claire's." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out my boyfriend was going to propose. He'd bought me a beautiful white gold ring that I never got to see. His estranged mom stole the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed with the perfect ring, restaurant, flowers, and champagne. He’s never been this well prepared for anything in his life, so he admitted that my mother planned the whole thing and forced him to propose, even though neither of us want to get married. She even bought the ring. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he'd drive me to the jeweler's to pick out a ring. We drove there, I picked the ring, and the sales person rang it up. I glanced at my boyfriend, only for him to reply, "Well don't look at me!" FML
Today, my very cheap boyfriend of four years proposed. I was overwhelmed with emotion, since he bought such a huge, seemingly-diamond ring. I was later overwhelmed with emotion when my finger turned green. FML
Today, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

More like her (ex?) fiancee is ******

Well it was the sister that stole the ring...
soccerstar255212 8
He sounds like a keeper :)
rockstar362 8
maybe if he stole it himself... Grand theft in the name of love sounds romantic to me

From Claire's of all places?
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
Forgive me for asking, but what is Claire's? I'm not sure wether if it's a very expensive jewelry store or a very cheap one.
happle 21
It's a very cheap jewelry store where mostly pre-teens buy accessories. Their engagement ring-like rings are around $12.
missalice0306 19
It's a cheap jewelry shop geared towards little girls-which adds insult to the fact that the ring was stolen.
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
Ah, thank you. The only jewelry store I know of is Kay's. Every kiss begins with Kay!
DustyStorm 16
Quite cheap....turn your finger green cheap
panda_lou 11
You can get turn your finger green rings for 100 bucks. That is cheap for an engagement ring sure but I'd expect to not have a green finger for a hundred.
rockstar362 8
Lol jk I thought Claire's was a nice store but obviously not, in that case I'm sorry OP
caysters 12
Lol. I use to love Claire's, when I was 12...
happle 21
I'll admit, Claire's has cute stuff, like my favorite elephant earrings, but if I want to give someone jewelry as a gift (especially an engagement ring), I'll get it from a store with better quality.

In terms of ring pops, blue berry is 14 carrots worth of goodness.

No wonder he's your ex.

Honestly, if my boyfriend proposed with a ring pop it'd be cute. Granted there was an actual ring I could wear later, even if it were from Claire's. Quit being such materialistic ******.
Pretty_reckless_fml 18
I'd think it was kind of cute if my boyfriend did that, it's playful and original :)
lilhellian 27
Hmm thanks for the idea!
Razi_tail 25
84- it wouldn't have been as bad if he didn't 1. Steal it and 2. Had somebody else steal it for him. I could understand if that was all he could afford but if he can't afford a 15$ ring then he sure can't afford to get married.
Jf770 10
Why is everyone focused on the ring? He proposed in between Christmas and New Years. Both jumping the gun AND missing the boat.
TxCountryBeauty 10
89- it's not that original anymore... I saw it in a movie once, which one I don't remember but it's a used idea

Comment moderated for rule-breaking.
When he really wants something, (could even be sex) give him less than he bargained for, after all, he's too cheap to buy you a real ring. I wouldn't say yes if I were you, because he obviously doesn't love you enough to buy a real ring, and/or wait until he has the money to do so. But I mean, he could have at least been the one to steal it for you, not making your sister do it!
Despereaux 15
Okay, before you thumbs this down into oblivion as seeing that I replied twice, I (stupidly) let my sister see my phone, and she wrote this comment. Apologies if you believe it sucks terribly, I thumbed it down myself, but I hope you do pay attention to my later comment. Cheers!

You talk too much. Shut up.

All those extra letters in rude was unnecessary.

I'm with elmo here just shut up already
PlayWithElmo 7
Aw, thanks 43.
Despereaux 15
That jerk! I wouldn't say yes if I were you, op. A real man would steal the ring from Claire's himself.
poccocurantes 7
And if he really, really loved you, he would knock over a Tiffanys.
xXHollowIchigoXx 17
Why do freakin jewelry stores have such names. @_@ is "Claire's" the cheap one, or is "Tiffany's"?
liindsey 25
Claire's is cheap. Tiffany's is very expensive.
BriannaMGK 15
Claire's is like a kids store. Very cheap. Like $10 cheap. Tiffany's is expensive, the good stuff. What he should have bought!
deloria_fml 22
Anyone who thinks Tiffany's is "the good stuff" is a moron who doesn't know how to buy diamonds. At Tiffany's, you pay for the atmosphere and the shiny lights as much as for the product; you can actually find better and more reasonably priced diamonds if you don't go through as large a retailer, and that's assuming you want a modern stone with no character which would be exactly identical to the tens of thousands of other modern stones produced in the same cut.
DanielleinDC 34
There's a whole lot of space between Cheapo Claire's--where he was too cheap to buy and to cowardly to steal himself--and ultra-expensive Tiffany's. That he had her sister steal the ring--risking arrest for shoplifting, for one--is indicative of a real jerk, and I hope you gave the ring back, OP.
poccocurantes 7
Tiffanys is a rich girls name and Claires is a fat girls name.
umyeahh 13
My name is Claire.... ._.
suicidehacker21 8
The shit men does too get a girl happy.
spaboolly 26
I think you put as much effort into forming that sentence as OP's boyfriend did to buying a nice ring.
suicidehacker21 8
I didn't mean it in a bad way. Besides it said the sister stoled it he didn't bought it.
JoeRogansBEARD 15
She's saying that your grammar is horrible
BLK161096 4
yeah 21, lighten up. the sister obviously stoled it, he didn't bought it.
DogsPaw 16
I hate when people say Stoled, does that sound like a ******* word?!

Reason why people have fml's cause they get brutally bashed on.

Hey as long as op is happy. That's all that matters. Congratulations.
Shilokitten666 19
You, sir, are correct but other people dont care about that, they care about causing drama for their own entertainment and its sick, i agree with you wholeheartedly, if shes happy then thats all that matters
morella_xx 29
Yes, but she's obviously not happy with it or she wouldn't be posting it on FML, would she?
chell1894 13
Yeah I mean I didn't care how much my fiancé paid for my engagement ring but if he stole it well not even stole, if he had my sister steal it I would not have been happy. And also if he can't afford a 8 dollar ring from Claire's maybe he should think about getting his finances figured out and a better job before getting engaged. Week gas don't have to be expensive but they cost at least a little bit of money.

He could've at least tried Argos!
