Today, because my fiancé is criminally incompetent at budgeting, I'm now having to pay the first installment for my own wedding ring. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML
Today, I had to sell my wedding ring to help me pay for my divorce. FML
Today, I was shopping for rings with my fiancée. We spent over two hours selecting the perfect ring and diamond to match. When filling out the paperwork I discovered I left my wallet at home. She had to pay the 20% down payment for the ring. FML
Today, my fiancé pawned off my engagement ring so he could buy himself a PS4. 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, I found out that my fiancé's parents are refusing to pay for a honeymoon, because they "didn't have one, so neither will we", meaning they won't pay for a single thing for our wedding. 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, my fiancé told me he wants to buy an engagement ring for his mother, so that she doesn't feel left out. FML
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend, who is buying me a ring for my birthday, is buying my best friend a ring that cost 10 times more than mine. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

I understand how love is a complicated thing, but something in your brain has GOT to be saying this is a bad start and is probably a sign of how things are going to be going forward.

Before you get married you need to discus your finances.

Obviously OP thinks having to pay the first installment is an issue or it wouldn't have been posted on here.

So.....? Maybe you should pay for your own wedding ring. Are you paying for his? Probably not. Ungrateful wench.

Money problems happen, but if you're referring to someone as "criminally incompetent", then WTF are you doing engaged to that person? You obviously don't respect him or his choices, and you're settling. You're just going to make both of your lives suck by being a resentful spouse.

Someone who can't plan for a future sends up a lot red flags. Get out of it while you can OP. I've dated a few girls who were just having fun and could never plan for the future. Not someone you want to spend your life with.

Why get an expensive wedding ring if you can't even afford it? If you're that broke, I bet there are million more useful you need. And by the way, surgical grade steel is more durable than white gold and the risk of irritation is lower, too. My ring is made of that and it cost like 40 bucks :)

I find the idea of having to.waste good money on some expensive ass ring to propose to someone is beyond stupid. why would I need to prove ur love with something that costs over a grand. that makes no sense at all. im glad my gf doesnt care for that shit cuz thered be no way id buy one. id rather get us matching tattoos or something like that. something much more meaningful than some expensive trinket
