Today, I found out that my beautiful engagement ring is a remake of the late Princess Diana's engagement ring. I also found out my fiancé bought it from an infomercial, for $19.95. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I found out that my engagement ring was actually my husband's ex-fiancée's. FML
Today, while shopping at American Eagle, I found the same "$1,500" wedding ring my fiancé proposed to me with, marked on sale for $10.95. FML
Today, I found out my fiancée has been sleeping with the salesman I bought her engagement ring from. He knew. 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
Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I'd bought. She looked at it and said, "This is pathetic. You shouldn't even bother." FML
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
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, I went to sell my wedding rings, due to the fact that I'm getting divorced from a man who cheated on me. The jeweler informed me that the stone in my engagement ring is fake. I won't even be able to cover the divorce costs from the proceeds. FML
Today, my girlfriend found the engagement ring I bought and assumed it was a late birthday present. She’s now wearing it on her right hand like a signet ring and she somehow hasn’t figured out it’s a diamond and not a Swarovski. I'm now waiting for her to figure it out before I pop the question. FML
Today, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The important thing is that you like it and he got it for you.

it's the thought that counts as long as it's beautiful why does it even matter and money is hard these days so wow

Ugh, TL;DR might be the stupidest acronym I've ever seen. Just refrain from posting if you can't wrap your tiny brain around a post that wasn't even that long to begin with.

He probably thought that since you are too stupid to put the dollar sign before the numbers, you would be too stupid to figure out that he bought you a cheap-ass ring. I'm sure you are getting a lot of sympathy out there from all the girls who've been dating guys for years with no proposals of marriage -- they'd be happy with a proposal and a Cracker Jacks ring, you materialistic bitch.

Ah, the wonderful sight of fmylife.com...where everyone can say bad things not to your face, but in front of it. :)

Bwa, I also think OP is being materialistic. I mean, she says the engagement ring was beautiful - maybe her partner saw it on TV and thought 'wow, that's a ring my sweetheart will love', who knows, but now she knows that it only costed 20 dollars, her feelings are hurt. You are right, it's the thought that matters, but even a cheap infomercial ring can be bought with the right thoughts. OP liked it, now she's complaining.

Sounds like you liked it before you knew how much it cost. Therefore, it IS about how much he spent, isn't it? News flash babe, not everyone gets a ring at all. I'm married, and I never got an engagement ring. I would've been absolutely furious it he had spent a bunch of money on a stupid ring. I'd much rather he spend the money on bills and food and such, than on something that any criminal can steal off your hand.

Thank you! I couldn't agree more. Before my husband and I got each other some decent wedding rings this Christmas, we literally wore pieces of yarn tied around our ring fingers since we got married in '07. I never got an engagement ring, nor did I have a big expensive wedding? Do I care? Hell no. I really hate it when women bitch that their men "don't love them enough" to spend a retarded amount of money on them.

What are you complaining about???? Its only an engagement ring, not the actual wedding ring

Technically that would be her wedding ring. Women wear 2 rings: the engagement ring and at the ceremony a wedding band is added. The wedding band is usually a simple ring while the engagement ring is the attention getter.

Well traditionally engagement rings are expensive, but considering the fact that she puts her dollar signs after the number shows that she is not worthy of not even a $15 ring from JC Penny soooo the hick should be grateful<3

You said it was beautiful, didn't you? So what are you complaining about?

if I was him, I would break it off with you. you should be happy he felt like you were the one for him instead of where he got it from and how much he paid for it.
