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

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.

This needs a little more detail... Did you date him then he left you for your cousin and you stayed friends? Or was he your best guy friend and you fell in love with him but he met and fell in love with your cousin ? Or did you meet him through your cousin and fell in love? I think chances are is the second one because I'm pretty sure you won't pick out an engagement ring with an ex of some sort. But I'm sorry:/ that must be hard! Stay strong! I would say tell him to get it out there if you haven't already but you probably shouldn't for your friendship with him and your relationship with your cousins sake :/ keep your head up! You will find the one some day!

You should tell him before he proposes or at least before the wedding. It's less heart breaking to tell him then to not tell him at all.

You do have the option NOT to do it.

You're nice to do that because if that was me I wouldn't do it.

I totally agree, I would probably not even look or talk to either of them. That's definitely got to be hard.

This reminds me if that movie Something Borrowed.

I like how you're going to help and being strong about it, but don't go if it bothers you so much.

I don't quite understand why this is an FML? On first reading, it sounds like your cousin is getting married and wants the help of you and your boyfriend. So perhaps some more information is necessary.

In Kentucky, he could be doing that for HIS cousin!
