Today, I was out with my boyfriend, when he started browsing wedding rings. He found a ring, proposed to me right there in front of a crowd, and then was promptly denied a payment plan. We left without a ring. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. 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, my boyfriend told me he's prepared to commit to marriage, but only if I buy my own ring and tell everyone he surprised me with it. FML
Today, I went to a jeweler's to buy a ring to propose to my girlfriend. When I was at the restaurant, in mid-proposal, with people watching, I realized I had left the ring in the store. 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
Today, my boyfriend proposed. He said we’d go pick up the ring tomorrow. Then he asked to borrow $40 to get it out of pawn. He pawned it when his ex gave it back to him. FML
Today, my boyfriend won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 4 years proposed to me. I said yes and he gave me an engagement ring. He immediately went to call his mom to tell her the happy news. After the phone call, he asked if he could return the ring because his mom needed money. FML
Today, my fiancé told me he didn't have the money to make payments on my engagement ring and that I either have to return it, or make the payments myself. Now we aren't engaged any more, and are "dating." FML
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Sounds like he didn't think that out very carefully.

It's the thought that counts :)

one ring found in the mall, one ring to bind them, one ring that poor credit rating, saw the salesman decline them.

At least you know he loves you and is not cheating on you like most couples do on each other on FML.

you can cheat on people you're engaged, or planning on getting engaged to, you shouldn't, but you can

You could be happy you got married but i guess the ring is higher priority

Engaged. You don't just propose and ta-da, you're married.

The ring don't matter a damn. You can always get a ring; but finding the person you legitimately want to spend the rest of your life with only comes once in a lifetime (and sometimes not even then).

Sounds like a case of the Mondays.

I get it that people think "It's the thought that counts" but that's quite an embarrassing situation that could of been avoided and how anticlimactic. He could of gone to the store the day before and gotten pre-approved. For you people saying "at least he's not cheating" plenty of people are cheating and have wives or fiances I assume he's not but thats not some sort of consolation prize. It's not all about the ring but most girls hope for more from their engagements I guess.

1st,, a. ring means nothing without commitment behind it.. 2nd buy something affordable and save for a place to live. obviously he is committed
