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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé pawned off my engagement ring so he could buy himself a PS4. FML
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, 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, 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 won a diamond engagement ring through a citywide competition. Instead of proposing to me, he's selling it. 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 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 proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." 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

I hope you didn't loan him the 40 dollars! What a creep (and an idiot for telling you about the ring being at a pawn shop, lol).

If you asked a gay (queen) senior cleric (bishop) to retrieve it at night (knight), you'd almost have a complete chess set. Ooh! If the clerk is Korean and wants to look (rook), there's another piece...

Who cares if it's over? Giving your new fiancee something that used to be your ex's is just plain bad taste. I don't think that a lot of women would want a constant reminder of their husband's ex on their finger for the rest of their life. I know I wouldn't. I'd rather just forget about the ring altogether. And think twice about marrying a guy that thought it was okay to give me his ex's engagement ring.

You should have taken the signs into consideration. YDI

I agree with the many who say this was a tacky move on his part. No, you're not selfish for wanting a ring that didn't belong to his ex. No, you're not selfish for not wanting to loan him cash for a ring. If he was going to propose he should have done so when he had his own cash to get a ring. Obviously he was asking for a loan, so he was going to have the money again soon. He could have waited until then. If the issue was that he didn't have more than $40 to spend on a ring, that's not an issue. My fiance proposed with a beautiful, 10k white gold ring with a beautiful cream colored pearl and real diamond accents. It's stunning, and he got it on eBay for $35. He did want to get something more expensive but this ring is perfect for me and I didn't want anything else. So, no, this isn't worth dumping your boyfriend over, but definitely worth having a discussion. And don't take that ring. Have him sell it and get you a new one that was purchased with you in mind, not someone else.
