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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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?

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

I voted YDI because the ring shouldn't be what you're focused on right now... You should be glad he loves you and wants to spend his life with you. It wasn't his fault, it was the thought that really counted

something similar happened to a friend, which is how she got conned into financing her own ring, six months before moving out and filing for divorce.

Ahhh rings, pointless tokens of love. It may be embarrassing now but it's probably better in the long run. Now he can save up money for the ring or he can adjust the choices based on a realistic budget. I definitely feel like this is more of an FML for him though, poor guy. Give him some extra love, he deserves it!

At least he asked you can still say yes. you don't need a ring. As long as you both know you love each other u can get married and save up to buy the ring

I would have said yes anyway. Ring doesn't matter in the long run.

Might be that he has no credit. It took me years to get credit because I had none. It was stupid to me but that's what the letters said.

That system strikes me as stupid as well. So I'm getting rejected from credit card companies specifically because I've been able to save enough to pay for everything to date--including my car!--in cash? Doesn't make any sense.
