Today, I spent nearly an hour helping a customer pick out an engagement ring. I rang him up, picked out a super cute box for the ring, and wished him luck. Later I realized I never put the ring inside the box. 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

So romantic
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

Swoon
Today, my boyfriend said he wanted to marry me. Since he doesn't know my ring size, he asked for me to find a ring that I liked, and he would buy it and propose. The only problem is that he won't spend more than 200 dollars on it. Oh, the generosity. FML

I can't imagine how difficult that would be. You are a strong person for being supportive of your cousin; I can't say that I'd be such a good sport if I were in your position.

Your love is coming. Just hold on an be patient. Congratulations on being a wonderful enough person that you haven't tried to sabotage your cousin's happiness for your own.

Ouch... FYL... Have you talked to your cousin about it? Getting it off your chest may help you move on.

Getting on her chest might help too;) ( sorry I tried to make it dirty)

Tell her cousin she's in love with her fiancé? Worst idea ever.
S182 15
Wouldn't be the worst idea ever for me... Buy hey, what works for me won't work for everyone. It was just a friendly suggestion, to be used at OPs discretion. I'm pretty sure there are ideas that are worse than mine... Like the holocaust. I believe that is an appropriate example of an idea which is worse than what I suggested.

If you really do believe that he is the love of your life you should fight for him.

Not against someone she loves

I hate when people are afraid to tell the person they love how they feel but will bitch a out not having that person. Put your big girl pants on and tell him how you feel or move on. You are choosing to waste your life otherwise.

You're assuming she hasn't. maybe (huge maybe) she has and he didn't feel the same way and now she's trying to ne strong and supportive towards her cousin!

Pick out a ring that's two sizes too small. Blood flow will get cut off to your cousin's finger. Your cousin's finger will turn gangrenous. She will die of blood poisoning. Comfort your lover at the funeral. Claim what has always been rightfully yours. Mwa-ha-ha!

Sounds like you've done this before....O.O

That... is... brilliant. You're an evil genius. I like you.

You are terrible people! She shouldn't sabotage their happiness, especially since she loves them both. She should wait for her Prince Charming. She's obviously gonna get one because she is obviously an amazing person
RydeOrDie 7
Yes. They are all terrible people because they commented on a post with some unrealistic humor. If so, we are all going to hell...

#64, first, some people hate their cousins. Second, the cousin would probably say, "Hey, this ring is too tight. Let's get it sized properly," so my diabolical plan would not proceed to fruition. Ok, can you CTFD now?

Ouch I'm sorry
