Today, my girlfriend of three weeks found the engagement ring I tried to give to my ex. She started crying and said yes. FML
lentmarz tells us more.

The story behind this is that when I proposed to my ex, and she said no, I was devastated. I hadn't really gotten over her, but my family set me up and I went out with her to humor them. We had a nice night and had gone out several times since. As for the ring, the materials were worth about $4000 and I spent over 2 weeks smelting and hand designing it. I spent so much time on it, that it didn't feel right to sell it. Also, I have made the decision never to see her again. So yes, I ran.

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Well, good luck explaining that one to her.

How fit are you OP? I see you needing to do a lot of running sometime in the next few days.

Haha wow. Well... at least she didn't think you were a creep for proposing after just 3 weeks AND say no AND leave you... :P

I'm not sure if this is better

Next on investigation discovery. She found the ring meant for his ex. When she found out he wasn't going to marry her after three weeks, it lead to murder.

Where was the ring and why was it locatable. Grow some OP and explain that it was for previous relationship and that maybe you are not right for her as still grieving for Ex. Or better still tell her you are planning to ask your ex to marry you after the fling with her is over

The ring was probably in a drawer in his bedroom or somewhere in his closet. Not an unreasonable place as I'm sure he wasn't expecting her to find it and assume she'd think it was for her; he's only been dating her for 3 weeks after all.

I was thinking along the lines who goes through drawers etc 3 weeks into a relationship. Scary

I'm concerned about how she came to that conclusion. I mean you didn't present it to her.

I dont know about you... but whenever I find a ring lying around, I automatically think someones trying to propose to me!
Brandi_Faith 34
But would you find it, put it on and act like he already proposed? Or would you find it, then try and put it back like you never found it and wait for a proposal? Or even find it and ask him what it's for? I think it's a bit weird to just assume it's not only for you, but act like he's already proposed, no matter how long you've been dating, but especially after only 3 weeks!

To be fair, I think #25 was commenting in jest, #37. I hope so anyway!
Brandi_Faith 34
Ahh, my bad then. Although I understand a girl seeing a ring in their boyfriends house and thinking the boyfriend is going to propose to them, as long as it's a thought they keep to themselves.

Agreed - where's the fun in ruining the "surprise"?!
Arwen_Evenstar 37
Maybe they were in the room together, she found it, he went something like "Err, well...", thinking how to word it, and she filled in the gap with assuming it was a proposal. Still crazy after 3 weeks, but may explain it to some extent.

For Heaven's sake! Just tell her the truth!

If you don't, someone else will, and it won't be pretty.
