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.

He must be really slow. 4 years replationship hasn't helpt to make up his mind. poor girl. it's a right decision though.

I've been dating my BF for almost three years and we're not even thinking of marriage for another couple years. I've also known someone who was in a relationship for five years before breaking up. With how high the divorce rate is, maybe it's good to take awhile. If I was the girl, I'd talk to him about their future before breaking up with him.

Damn, I hate that insane, impatient female marriage monsters! (who also seem to be present amongst the commentators, "dreamagain" et al) She really deserves what happened. C'mon, 4 years? That's ridiculous! If you get married after 4 years, you'll get divorced after 10. Selfish B... like her are responsible for the high divorce rates nowadays. Lucky for the guy though. Now he knows that his ex-gf was just one of those manic girls who just want to get married, no matter to which guy. Wish him all the best, and that he doesn't want her back. I can not understand why people criticize the OP. I can understand why this is a crappy situation for her. Probably telling her sister wouldn't change anything, because this bi... probably already has picked a new guy ('cause that's what marriage monsters do. They don't DUMP boyfriends, they CHANGE boyfriends! because they have a big problem with being on their own). And hopefully, it wouldn't change anything because the ex-bf doesn't want her back. As for her sister, YDI so much!

What a selfish ****. If she wanted the contract and the ring SO BADLY she should have proposed herself.

Normally I might suggest something along the lines of "explaining it" to her. However, in this case, I won't. If your sister got so fed up with him at this juncture, a month or two of difference won't even necessarily make a difference. That's not to mention that some people need more or less time to come to bear with the commitment, even if 4 years does seem a bit extreme (although believe me when I've seen much longer ones that still worked out fabulously). A lot can also happen while you're still young (assuming that's the case). If it mattered to her so much, she could have said something about it without breaking up with him. As such, your sister's lack of tolerance and apparent inability to communicate well with her "would be" spouse would suggest that she coincidentally isn't really marriage material yet. It's a good thing he hadn't actually proposed yet. Maybe - just maybe - her ex-boyfriend might have just been spared a potentially odious and vexing marriage and possible divorce. It's actually probably better off this way. Oh, and this isn't really your fault at all. The BF decided it would be a good idea to plan the proposal... which it actually was. Timing CAN be everything in these matters. Unfortunately, this just wasn't good enough for your sister. The fault is your sister's and hers alone. This just isn't YDI/FML material (at least not for you anyway).
