Today, as we packed for a vacation, I saw my boyfriend pack several pairs of the ugly gray socks he knows I hate. I took and threw them away before we left. One flight, cab ride, and furious argument later, I learned that one pair had an engagement ring wrapped up inside. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found some thigh high socks in my boyfriend's drawer. Furious, I confronted him. He confessed they were his and put them on to show me they fit. I had to dump him, it was just too weird. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML
Today, my boyfriend gave me a fancy chocolate candy and I got angry at him for forgetting that I'm allergic to chocolate and threw the candy into the garbage disposal. Turns out, he had spent a ton of money getting a chocolatier to put an engagement ring inside the candy that I just destroyed. FML
Today, I was going to propose to my girlfriend. I had been hiding the ring in the sock drawer. When I went to retrieve it, the ring was gone and in its place was a sticky note that said "NO." FML
Today, it's been 14 years since at our wedding my now-husband lost the wedding ring, and we had to rush to buy another, which delayed the wedding and cost us our honeymoon flight and thousands of extra pounds. I just got his old suit out to dry clean. The missing ring was in its box, in his jacket. I'm going to kill him. FML
Today, I went into hysterics and started crying when my boyfriend pulled out a Tiffany's box at dinner. Then I found out he'd used the old box to make the $15 earrings he bought seem more "special." FML
Today, my boyfriend bought me an engagement ring. It turned out to be the wrong size and we had to return it, since the store said it couldn't be re-sized. As we headed home, I felt guilty, so I turned to him and apologized. His response? "It's OK honey, I didn't really want to marry you that much anyway." FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I didn't want to go out with him because I was having a fat day. After ten minutes of fighting, he threw a ring box on the floor and stormed out. I basically refused his proposal because of my body issues. FML
Today, my boyfriend finally proposed to me in front of his whole family with the ring his mother had helped him pick out. Two hours later, I found emails of nudes from another women that had been sent to him a week prior, on his phone. Our flight for home leaves in a week. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend his shirt and pants did not match and that he should change for dinner. All my belongings are now on the sidewalk. FML

If your boyfriend is like me, the relationship would be over. How dare you throw another persons clothes away because you don’t like them. What gives you the right to decide what he can wear? I would dump you in a heartbeat

While you SHOULD NOT have messed with his luggage, I can't help but feel he could've picked something BETTER wrap it up in, like his shirt.

Aaaand that is why he is now still your boyfriend and will likely remain so, rather than your fiancee.

Wow, you're lucky you even went on the trip together... I would have called off the whole thing and then let you stew in your own juices

Wow... first of all, it's SOCKS. How often do you even see socks (they're under pants and inside shoes)? Second, I can't imagine any pair of socks warranting this unless they were full of holes and just shot. But seriously, whatever the article of clothing, you have no right to throw it away if it doesn't belong to you. I hope this guy is now your ex boyfriend, because if you're this much of a control freak, you deserve to be alone.

Clearly you have problems you need to address, both as an individual and one half of a couple, but also was he planning to propose in the airport before the flight, or just let the surprise be ruined when the bag went through the scanner and the box was discovered? Unless his socks were made of lead.
