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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my sister called me and asked if my boyfriend of 3 years had proposed to me yet. And now the surprise is ruined. 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, my girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me because I hadn't popped the question to her yet. For the last six months, I have been respectfully trying to convince her over protective father to give me his blessing. 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, after three years of dating, my boyfriend finally proposed. To my best friend. FML
Today, at my birthday party in an expensive sushi restaurant that I spent hundreds of dollars to reserve, my boyfriend of 3 years proposed… to my sister. She said yes. They’ve been secretly seeing each other for the past year. She just graduated high school this past summer. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. 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 broke up with my boyfriend because I was tired of waiting for him to propose. It turns out he was going to propose and had the ring and everything, but I fucked it all up. FML
Today, my sister asked me if I was going to be getting married "for real" this time, because she didn't want to waste her money like she did on my previous engagement. The reason that one didn't work out in the first place is because she slept with my fiancé. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This isn't your fault, or the boyfriend's. Your sister is a selfish little bitch. She could have asked him if she was so impatient. By the way, if she really did want to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him, then why couldn't she wait a while longer? Obviously she didn't love him that much if she can just toss him aside like that over something stupid. He's better off without her.

Yeah, seriously. You should tell your sister what was in the works. Problem solved.

What a selfish bitch. I mean really. You dump a guy just because he won't propose to you? What the ****? Hey you stupid twat, maybe YOU could propose to HIM instead!! OMG what a concept.

geniusman calm the **** down. the OP's sister dumped the boyfriend, because she thought she wasn't ready for a commitment. Now 4 years into a relationship isn't that bad, but maybe she just really wanted to get married. Now the boyfriend should have seized that opportunity to propose, unless the OPs sister dumped him online or through text or on the phone or something. Or why didn't the OP just tell her that he was going to propose? Either way the OP's life isn't ******. It wasn't even about her except for the fact that she helped.

Hm. She wasn't ready for commitment, yet "she really wanted to get married"? Genius man is right, if she wanted to get married so bad, she could have either proposed herself (why the hell not?) or had a talk with her bf (of 4 years!) about it. Wow. What a ridiculous reason to break off a 4-year relationship.

She didn't know he was going to propose. She had the right to break it off if she wanted to move on and actually get married.

If you were a good brother you'd have dropped a hint or two! "Oh, I don't know, he asked me the other day what kind of ring you might want..." Something.

Uh, I don't know the culture or relationship standards of where you're from, but it's a little unusual for someone to start proposing, or planning on proposing after the first few dates let alone the first year

She was impatient to be asked. One would think that if she wanted to marry him that she could have taken the non-traditional role of asking him to marry HER! What a concept.

I agree, four years is a bit long. I think a year and a half to two and a half is appropriate. Three is pushing it. Four is ridiculous, and probably means he doesn't see you that way. UNLESS you are too young to be married, I say her sister made a good call.

2 months?!?! You and the boyfriend are both morons! Good thing your sister can get rid of the idiot bf, because there's not much she can do about you. Take a knee, hold up ring, say "Will you marry me?" What did that take, 5 seconds? It's simple, it works. Two months?!

And here's a more elaborate proposal. You beat the shit out of her, really lay into her and then say "Now, would you like to do this with me on a semi regular basis?" And while riding back on the ambulance produce the ring from the paramedics pocket. How sweet.

I'll give you that your technique is more creative than mine. Mine has two things going for it: 1) It works in reality -- for me, it is one-for-one. 2) It has a less awkward "out" if the answer is "no." For me, I'd just get up, keep my ring and leave. You'd probably end up in jail with a ring. You might end up with a boyfriend or six.

I like what you did with the jail and ring pun.

So then you persuade her to get back together with him...so what? Life goes on
