Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend of five years finally asked me to marry him. He said, "We could save on taxes if we got married… What do you think?" That was the most romantic thing he's said to me in the last two years. FML
Today, after five years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed to me. The words "just think of the tax breaks" were uttered. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend asked me to marry him because he could get a tax cut from buying the ring. All of this happened in front of his mother. FML
Today, my husband suggested we get divorced, "for tax purposes". FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years asked me to marry him so that we can consolidate our student loans. FML
Today, it was our wedding anniversary. My husband takes me and our young son to a family-style chain restaurant. Hoping for a little romance, I ask him what he's excited about in our future, and he says how we shouldn't eat out like this anymore so we can afford to pay our income taxes. FML
Today, my long-term boyfriend still does not want to get married and file our taxes jointly, but rather wants to claim me as a “dependent” so he gets a bigger refund. FML
Today, my boyfriend is 34 years-old. We’ve been together for 5 years. He refuses to propose to me because “marriage is expensive” and “kids drain your wallet.” That would be understandable if he hasn’t spent the majority of his paychecks on March Madness. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by handing me a ring and saying, "Let's get this dumb shit over and done with." FML
Today, after telling my boyfriend of 8 years on Monday that I'm unhappy and don’t want to be in a relationship anymore, he said to me just now, "So, I’m thinking of proposing to you in December." FML

This could have just been his way of gauging your reaction. My fiance used to crack jokes like that all the time before he really proposed, because he wanted to see if I would get all freaked out that he said the "m" word. So maybe it was really a good thing?

Sounds like a pretty well thought out proposal, did he also say that a ring would be a waste of money and that should go towards the kid, who you will raise in his mothers yard becuasae mortgage is a scam?

Itemized deductions anybody? They're a hell of a lot easier and more cost effective (at least for the man) than a bad marriage.
