Today, my oldest friend got engaged to her loving boyfriend of one year. Meanwhile, I can't even get my boyfriend of more than four years to commit to a decision of what he wants for dinner. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I congratulated my friend for getting engaged. This is the fourth friend of mine this year that has become engaged. I haven't even had a boyfriend yet. FML
Today, my sister, who has been seeing a guy for a year, got engaged. I've been dating my boyfriend for over 5 years and let out some not so subtle hints and he basically refused to propose. This is her second marriage in the time of my relationship. FML
Today, after three years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed. To my best friend. FML
Today, my best friend got engaged to the guy she's been seeing for five years. He also happens to be the man I've been in love with for eight. As she was giving me the details, she nonchalantly gave me her reason for accepting the proposal: "Why the hell not, there's always divorce." FML
Today, my long-term boyfriend took me to my favorite restaurant. After the main course, he knelt down and finally proposed to me. I was so happy, I almost cried. Until an old woman came over and said I was way too old for him. I'm three years younger than my fiancé. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years asked his friend to propose to me for him, because he was too nervous to do it himself. FML
Today, my sister broke up with her boyfriend of 4 years because he hadn't "popped" the question. I've just spent the last 2 months helping him plan the perfect proposal. FML
Today, my fiancé of two years told me he was bored of me and he'd just prolonged the engagement to see if anyone more interesting would come along in the mean time. He was upset because no one did. FML
Today, it's our fifth-year anniversary with my boyfriend. I gave him his gift and walked over to the kitchen to serve him some food I'd made. On my way back to the dining room, I overheard his plans with his friend to ditch me in 10 minutes. FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years announced that he is not ready for marriage, and won’t be for 'at least' another 2 years. Of course he waited to tell me this 2 days after he had proposed to me in front of hundreds of people, I said yes, and we announced it to all our family members and friends. FML

Why are you comparing the two? You obviously love your boyfriend, so what if he can't choose dinner. It's just dinner.

Exactly. I didn't marry mine till 5 years in. People are ready at different rates.

Not to mention that people that get married quickly tend to not have long lasting marriages.

let me clear this up for you - men are sometimes dumb. You might be thinking about the great depths of your relationship which we guys r thinking about what we want to eat. doesn't mean your boyfriend doesn't love you.

That's pretty much what the FML says.

Dinner is not all that important. Marriage is for very serious. Apples to oranges . In my opinion, one year is not enough time to get to know someone well enough to make life long decisions, I wish your friend best of luck .

Absolutely! And also, don't spend your life comparing yourself to others.

Ah. A wild troll appears.

I don't know why you're focusing on dinner - I don't think that it correlates directly to getting engaged.

She is saying that her boyfriend is so afraid of commitment that he can't even choose a dinner. She obviously wants to get married to him but he is not able to commit.

Don't worry about it OP. most likely their relationship won't last. They haven't had to really deal with each other's worse parts just yet.

How do you know?

What. No. You cannot legitimately be comparing the commitment involved in a marriage to that in dinner. Dinner is an important event that nourishes both the appetite and the body; possibly the most important decision a person is faced with! Marriage is just a concept formed by the government to keep us from procreating too quickly.

I think she meant she couldn't get him to commit to anything, even something so simple as what to eat.

I was joking.
