Today, my fiancé told me that he was having second thoughts on our engagement. Instead of just calling it off, he took me to a fancy restaurant and took a public poll on whether we should get married. The majority said no. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancée called off our wedding out of the blue. After a long discussion about it, it turns out that last week I voiced an opinion about the wedding she didn’t agree with, and doesn’t want to spend her life married to someone who’s going to argue with her every five minutes. FML
Today, my fiancé told me it was a mistake to propose to me. FML
Today, at a dinner I'd been planning for months with my fiancé to talk to our families about the wedding for the first time, he told me he didn't want to get married. I cried in front of both of our families and a dozen of strangers. FML
Today, after months of arguing and conflict, I broke up wIth my fiancé. Or at least, I tried to. The wedding's off, but only until he can convince me to want to marry him again. FML
Today, at our wedding, instead of saying "I do", my fiancé paused before saying, "I can't do this", stepped down from the altar and proposed to my maid of honor. When she obviously refused, he ran from the venue bawling. He's not returning my calls. FML
Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML
Today, my fiancée handed me her engagement ring back and told me she felt like she's pressuring me into marriage, so to make me feel better about it we’re no longer engaged. On top of this, I found out she’s started talking to her ex again. FML
Today, I almost got married. After the elaborate and very expensive wedding, my "husband" decided he did not want to sign the marriage license because he wasn't sure if he really wanted to settle down after all. 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, I proposed to my girlfriend in front of about 75 people in the fanciest restaurant in town. She told me she was already engaged, while holding up her right hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What a douche bag. Good thing he called off te marriage, it would be pretty shitty for OP to deal with him for however long.

Why would you marry someone who asks random people who don't know you from Adam, if you should get married?? Good thing you/he/she called it off.
Drigr 9
He wanted a second opinion on his second thoughts.

It's okay OP, maybe this is a sign. :)

Sounds like something someone going through a midlife crisis would do.
LoveMusicLoud 12
If I was in the crowd, I would've said no too, to spare her from marrying such an idiot

He was showing his dedicated beliefs in democracy, I don't understand how that is inconsiderate

^ correct spelling or not, the comment still sucks

Actually, this is wonderful. No sarcasm I mean it. I mean she was just about to marry that guy, who from that little gesture displayed an inability to make and stick through tough life decisions, a sick apathy towards the emotions of others and alarming streak of selfishness. You really dogged a bullet OP.

How do you dog a bullet?

By running faster then it...idiot. ;)

Your comment : ..Wonder why he proposed then?

If I was there, I would summon 24 more people using my level 4 arcane powers and voted yes so you can live alongside one of the great conquistadors of this land.

^ well said.

3- How do you know it was the man that proposed in the first place? It could've been OP.

A fiancé is a man and a fiancée is a female. Get it right.
FiestaInMyPants 8
90 is right. It is a leap year, after all! But I think it's safe to assume he proposed to her.
aleeshttylXD 9
second thoughts. ;]

better luck next time!
featherygoose 9
There is no such thing as luck since we are just an illusion of the condensation's theorem of eternal might.
TriflingAllDay 6
There was luck in this actually. It was very unlucky for that choice in crowd.

Don't worry about what other people think! What really matters is how you and your fiancé feel. Hope everything works out!! :)
solosohigh 15
obviously he doesn't feel that positively about it.

I likely would've been part of the majority no since any guy who takes a poll in a restaurant about getting married clearly is not mature enough to get married
lexiieeex3 32
Why are people thumbing this down? Well said.
ImmaB3AST 7
Well, I'm going to assume that if the fiancé was that unsure about a marriage to where they go to a restaurant to prove that the marriage isn't right, then they clearly aren't going to work out.
allblacksfan 7
I'm going to say that I don't think they are going to work it out, considering OP's name is exfiancee...
DylansMomma 9
Really, you think? What gave you the hint? The fact he asked a bunch of people he doesn't know, or the fact she said he was having second thoughts?
ygdrassil 17
In what sort of fancy restaurant does one walk around polling about whether they should get married?
Hiimhaileypotter 53
Aww, that's terrible :( I'm really sorry.
flutter4 7
Maybe the majority said no because the boyfriend is an ass and they thought she deserved better than him. He sounds very shallow.
ahabsfan 17
Could be worse. Could have been McDonalds.

Or a gas station.

Or Big Momma's house, who knows.

Hey! We 'mericans find that offensive!
ninjaqueen101 18
Well that's depressing. Just keep your head up
unjustlychicken 10
That's terrible :( I hope your fiancé changes his mind.
purplenerple8 6
I hope he doesn't change his mind. If he was so willing to act like a dick and do that, then you deserve much better
momolee 4
If he does change his mind, I'd recommend not taking him back.
BeRealB 4
Well that should be your deciding factor in leaving him
tonijulie 20
Exactly what I was going to say! Who could do something like that!
