Today, my boyfriend of 5 years decided to buy a $2500 taxidermied wolf on eBay. This is the same guy who refuses to get engaged because it would "cost too much right now." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend came up with this thrillingly romantic proposal: “I’m paying way too much income tax. How about we get married?” FML
Today, my fiancé pawned off my engagement ring so he could buy himself a PS4. 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
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" told me that he loves money more than me and would date it if he could. FML
Today, I found out my boyfriend, who is buying me a ring for my birthday, is buying my best friend a ring that cost 10 times more than mine. FML
Today, my boyfriend called me explaining that he is getting married this weekend to a woman he met on Craigslist. Why? Because I won't marry him, and he'll make an extra thousand dollars per month having a wife since he is in the army. 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, 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. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Maybe he just wants to wait until he's financially stable enough to give you the ring and wedding he thinks you deserve? Stuffed wolf and all...**

I believe that in USA engagement ring is "supposed" to cost 2x of groom's monthly salary (ridiculous tradition, if you ask me). Also it is said that average cost of such ring is 3500..4000 usd. Which means that the wolf is cheaper.

Not to mention if the brides family doesn't help with the wedding costs there's thousands of dollars right there .... ;)

I don't know how it is in your countries, but in mine it's the bride's family that is responsible for the wedding. Groom's only brings alcohol.

44, What country are you from? AFAIK wedding costs are either split between families or whoever has the money pays for the wedding, but each side still pays for clothes for groom/bride.

In the US, the groom's family traditionally pays for the groom's clothing, the rehearsal dinner, the flowers, and the alcohol. Bride's family pays for everything else (venue(s), dj, cake, caterer, invitations, postage...)

Or just do a bunch of your wedding stuff yourself and don't get hung up on tradition. Mine cost less than that Wolf and turned out pretty damn good.

I'm still hung up on the concept that I should be expected to drop 30 grand on a ring our risk being called cheap or uncaring. Here the bride's family usually pays the wedding itself and the groom's family pays for the surrounding and preceding events.

You should replace him with a taxidermy boyfriend, see how he feels

Yeah that one would stay hard and always let you finish!

Those cost about 6000$

Weddings cost more than 2500

Mine cost $1800... dress, rings etc included. I just found help sewing dresses, MIL made our cake.... I made our guestbook etc. had it in the country at MIL's house. Made a request for a DJ and photographer as wedding gifts. It's ridiculous how much people spend on weddings.

He's obviously lying to you about wanting to get married, simple as that. The "it's too expensive" excuse is as old and overused as "It's not you, it's me." Sounds to me like he's just a, uh...wolf in sheep's clothing. No pun intended.

Yes it would cost too much... It would cost him his freedom, his ability to come and go as he pleases, his ability to hang out with the guys and do what he wants when he wants...

I mean a job prevents that too, should he not do that too?

True that brother!

YOU DIDN'T KNOW? Taxidermy wolves are the new engagement rings! I say you are a lucky duck!

Who knows, maybe he already has a ring and he just wants you to be really surprised. :) you never know.

Chances are meagre, I guess.

Tell him that you hope he bought a female wolf, because that's the only "stuff" he's going to be getting for awhile. *See what I did there*

The wolf will last forever, and you are 50/50 at best. Sounds like the better investment for lifelong companionship. In fact, with your incessant nagging, your stock is being downgraded to 20/80.
