Today, I'm planning my big sister's wedding. My long-term, live-in boyfriend walked by and saw me looking at the wedding tab on Pinterest, smirked, and said, "Don't get your hopes up." I had. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out that my fiancé's sister, who only got engaged a couple of months ago, is getting married before us. I wouldn't have a problem with this if she wasn't planning her wedding to be exactly like ours will be. FML
Today, my sister asked me if I was going to be getting married "for real" this time, because she didn't want to waste her money like she did on my previous engagement. The reason that one didn't work out in the first place is because she slept with my fiancé. FML
Today, I was at a family gathering when my aunt asked me if I was seeing anyone special. In a tired and sarcastic tone, I jokingly said, “I’m actually getting married next month!” The room went silent, then some of them cheered. I had to explain I was kidding, but now they’re looking forward to a wedding I didn’t agree to. FML
Today, I found my sister's wedding book. Inside it was a list of potential grooms; she'd written down all of my ex-boyfriends. And my fiancé. We're getting married in three weeks. FML
Today, I was supposed to get married. Instead, my sister made up a story about me cheating on my fiancé at the bachelorette party. He bought it and dumped me, despite there being no evidence of this. Turns out it was all a plan because they were secretly seeing each other for months. FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend's future sister-in-law ask him not to bring me to the wedding. Apparently, me being so much shorter than everyone else is "embarrassing" and "would make the pictures look weird." FML
Today, my older sister told me about their table plan at their wedding. She is one of my best friends too, so I was shocked that I had been placed far away, and separated from my husband. FML
Today, my girlfriend caught the bouquet at her sister's wedding. I took it as a sign so after we got home, I proposed. She laughed and said no way. I'm done. FML
Today, my sister called me and asked if my boyfriend of 3 years had proposed to me yet. And now the surprise is ruined. FML
Today, I overheard my soon to be step-daughter telling her friend on the phone that she hopes that mine and her father's wedding is just a big joke, and that he isn't really going to go through with it. I just dropped five grand on a dress and venue. She's in for a surprise. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He probably doesn't even deserve you OP. I bet that wedding, will be beautiful, too!!

Weddings stir up emotions, and it's likely your boyfriend will witness the special moment and want it for himself too. Keep positive, it'll come eventually. Unless there's a dramatic plot twist, and your sister/her fiancé dramatically leaves like in a soap opera.

Well at least you know where you stand. If its important to you it's best to find the strength to move on. If you can put it behind you and you are happy with him and love him then unless it's a deal breaker just move on in the relationship.

I dated a girl long term and she was constantly asking about marriage. I had explained many times that the answer was yes, but not now as I had recently started a business and wanted to become more financially stable. She took this to mean she should start nailing her co-worker. I dodged a bullet... What im saying OP, is there can be many reasons he is holding off. If things are good otherwise he will ask when he's ready. Also who wants to get married too soon only to end up going through a divorce? It was a bit of a dick move on his part but I'm sure it was sarcastic.

If tou don't have the same expectations anymore, it'd be better to part ways. Talk about it with him.

There are a lot of people here who are waaaaaay too hasty. He may gladly marry you just later when he feels more ready, so dumping him over something that may have been a joke or an attempt to momentarily dissuade you is harsh and may lead to both of you being unhappy

Are you sure he didn't just mean about the wedding theme you where looking at? If he meant at all; well... sorry OP. I am inclined to agree that you should sit and talk this out; if he's not the type for weddings but he wants to stay with you in a committed relationship otherwise, you may find some middle ground that will make you both happy. If not... enjoy the ride and depart on good terms when(if) it ends.

welll when your pretty much living like a married couple why would a guy want marry you? Youve already given him everything that he needs... sex, food, cleaning and yes living in the same house.

I think you need to sit down with him OP. If marriage isn't something you two have talked about in the past it may be time to examine your life goals. If he doesn't want to get married then thats fine, but if you really want to then maybe its not meant to be. It's like talking about kids before you get married. It is a big life step and if it is one you want to take and he doesn't it is time to clear the air now.

I say if its been more than 3 years, then its time to move on.
