Today, I was watching the show "Sixteen and Pregnant". I started bawling when the girl's dirtbag boyfriend proposed to her with a $20 ring he bought from Walmart because I was so lonely and was jealous of her "romantic relationship". FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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
Today, while looking at engagement rings online, I started crying. Not because I'm getting married, but because the only proposal scenario my mind could concoct always ended with my boyfriend saying, "SIKE!" 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, I went into hysterics and started crying when my boyfriend pulled out a Tiffany's box at dinner. Then I found out he'd used the old box to make the $15 earrings he bought seem more "special." FML
Today, my very cheap boyfriend of four years proposed. I was overwhelmed with emotion, since he bought such a huge, seemingly-diamond ring. I was later overwhelmed with emotion when my finger turned green. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I went shopping for an engagement ring. We ended up breaking up in the process. FML
Today, my girlfriend of six years burst into tears and said yes repeatedly when I presented her with a ring. I then had to explain that it was a promise ring, not an engagement ring. She looked me in the eye and dumped me on the spot. Apparently, promise rings are for teenagers, not couples in their thirties. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the mall. We were looking at jewellery in Zales and she came across the engagement rings. She looks at one and says, "Are you kidding me? That ring is hideous and it's the most expensive one here! Who the fuck would buy that?" Well, that would be me. FML
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
Today, my girlfriend told me she's pregnant and I did not take it well. She had planned to record my happy reaction for Facebook; instead she got video of me bursting into tears, and trying to talk her into an emergency abortion. She sent it to my parents to punish me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I saw that episode too the other day and I almost cried when that happened... although I cried because it was so pitiful. The poor things, they will probably have such crap lives.

i thought when people got engaged they have to have a real diamond ring.

I'm going to hope this is a joke, but if not you're a fool. I never wanted a diamond. If he had gotten me a diamond I would have made him return it. I don't want him to spend a few thousand bucks for a nice diamond. If he's going to spend that much on me, I'd like it to be on something useful. My engagement ring is an emerald. It's absolutely gorgeous. Although I probably would have smacked him if eh had gotten me a $20 walmart ring. That isn't really an option. If you're not going to spend much money on me, then spend as little as possible and get me a ring from one of those little machines for a quarter. That can be sweet if presented in the right way, and done spontaneously. Walmart ring would take a LOT of convincing to be cute. OP: that sucks, but think of it this way. At least you're not with a dirtbag.

Unless you're a man (just noticed that at the top) in which case, At least you're not stuck with a crazy pregnant teenager for a girlfriend.

Um, there's no law about it, if that's what you mean. Why would anyone have to? My mom and I both turned down engagement rings; rings are just not our cup of tea. We agreed to wear wedding bands for our spouses, but going from no rings to two rings? No thanks.

^^^Exactly. If and when my man proposes, I don't want to wear a ring until the wedding. Sure, he can propose with one, but I don't want to wear it. I'd rather switch my claddagh from my index finger to my ring finger, as that ring holds a lot more meaning to me than a new, expensive one. And I'm very picky about my jewelry...I hate diamond solitaire rings. I'd rather have an intricate band with a few little embedded diamonds, or an opal ring. I just think it looks nicer. So no, you don't "have" to have a diamond engagement ring. It all depends on the couple's preferences. As for the FML....that's pathetic on both ends. She got knocked up and he wants to marry her so he can control both her and the child later on. I've seen the show. He's a dirtbag with the emotional depth of a teaspoon, who only pretends to love her so he can keep getting into her bed. If you're jealous of a teenage white trash relationship, OP, I really feel sorry for you. Please go out and invest in the thing we call "life". Who knows, maybe while you're at Wal-Mart gazing longly at the cheap rings and bawling your eyes out, you can stop and pick one up!

The guy proposed because you were jealous? That makes no sense. Learn to use commas.
