Today, I got engaged. My family is already placing bets on how long it will take for my fiancée to "wise up and ditch" me. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my fiancée handed me her engagement ring back and told me she felt like she's pressuring me into marriage, so to make me feel better about it we’re no longer engaged. On top of this, I found out she’s started talking to her ex again. FML
Today, my girlfriend told me that her parents have a bet going on when we are going to break up. FML
Today, my fiancée decided to go on a "vacation." Our wedding is tomorrow. FML
Today, my father told all of us that he eloped with his girlfriend of two months. I'm engaged to the woman's daughter, and have been engaged since before they met, but now my family is making fun of me for marrying my "sister". FML
Today, I overheard my mom talking on the phone with my sister about how much they hate my fiancé. My wedding is in two weeks and my family has been pretending to like my future husband for three years. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that he was having second thoughts on our engagement. Instead of just calling it off, he took me to a fancy restaurant and took a public poll on whether we should get married. The majority said no. FML
Today, I got home and my girlfriend was wearing the ring I bought last week. Apparently she found it and thought to herself, "Fuck it, we’re engaged now so I’ll just start wearing it", completely bypassing the actual proposal part of getting engaged. I’m actually really mad at her right now. FML
Today, I called my mother to tell her that I got engaged. In the 15 minute conversation that followed, 13 were spent listening to how this is going to affect her. FML
Today, I'm getting married in a week. I was sashaying around the kitchen talking to my friend on the phone, saying, "No more diets, no more blowjobs, and if he complains I get half his money!" when I turned and saw my fiancé in the door. He won't believe that it was a joke and now wants a prenup. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Don't know why you put the quotation marks around family. I mean your comment makes no sense.

They're sarcastic quotes. You know, to indicate sarcasm. Like this: Your reply shows that you're "smart"

31, Way to put me down. Yes it's true I didn't understand the comment at first but that doesn't mean I'm dumb. :/

43 she never called you dumb or stupid. She made an example in her previous comment.

44, I'm not going to argue on here, it's childish.

And this is coming from the person who doesn't understand sarcasm?

Best advise is how they treat and love each other
TrueTriage 16
Or not take them seriously. My family would joke around with something like that you know sibling tough love.

That's why marriage is between two people. You aren't suppose to leave & cleave just for fun, but to keep all the nay sayers from ruining your marriage.

One should not allow others to control their life decisions... They may be correct about divorce in the future, but perhaps for the wrong reasons. If it comes down to divorce, a family bet shouldnt stop OP from leaving his/fiancé. I wish you the best of luck with your marriage, OP!!!

You have some mean family members. Don't invite them to the wedding if they keep it up

Congrats on the engagement :).

My family is as guilty of ribbing each other as the next, but in this instance, it's taking it a bit far. How could they not be supportive of you? My mind is boggled here.

If her whole family thinks like that, maybe OP is particularly bitchy or bizarre and they have pretty good reason to believe it won't work out.

Let's see how long it takes you to "Wise up and ditch your family"!

I'd place a bet too. Then, I'd go tell my partner to pretend to leave me in front of my whole family at the time I bet they would. As a result, I'd get to keep my partner and all my family's money.

Your family thinks higher of her than you? You must not realize you're probably an asshole towards your fiancée. Sometimes the outside looking in are right.

Huge red flag when your fiancee's own family tells you to run.

#56, Huge red flag, indeed. Hope both take this as a wake-up call.

Sounds more like he comes from a family of assholes and they just assumed that he's one too.
