Today, while vacationing with my boyfriend of 9 years, he started writing "Wi" in the sand. I instantly hoped he was going to propose by writing, "Will you marry me" on the beach. He spelled out "wiener" instead. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. Thinking I was being cute I spelled out "Marry Me" in alphabet soup, because that's her favorite. She took one look at it and started to laugh. She then began to spell out "no". She still ate the soup. FML
Today, at a romantic dinner my boyfriend was treating me to, the waiter brought a "Will you marry me?" cake out, with candles and sparklers. I probably should have checked that they'd brought it to the right table before dramatically screaming ,"Yes!" and jumping into my boyfriend's arms. They hadn't. FML
Today, in break from tradition, I proposed to my boyfriend. We were at a Japanese Pagoda. Water was trickling everywhere; the moment was perfect. While I was on my knee, after pouring my heart out, he looked wistfully out over the water and said, "So, I was thinking pizza tonight." FML
Today, I was walking with my girlfriend of a year and a half on the beach. Everything was fine until she saw a plane with a banner behind it saying "Cassie, will you marry me?" She said yes. I didn't order a plane. FML
Today, I was giving my boyfriend a massage. I guess I hit the spot, because he muttered, "Please marry me" into the pillow. Considering we've been going out for years and had spoken about marriage before, I stopped in my tracks. He stammered, "Oh, I mean... Not like that. Will you keep going?" FML
Today, as I got down on one knee, and was in the middle of saying, "Will you marry me?" my partner answered a text message. Apparently it was more important. FML
Today, in the "end-of-the-world" spirit, I asked my boyfriend to marry me. His response was, "It's really windy out." FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me in a 24-hour taco shop, while he was wearing a tee-shirt that says "F*** Me I'm Famous." FML
Today, I purposely misspelled words while texting my boyfriend so he would think I was out partying and having a life. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by tossing the ring at me and saying "Here, wear this." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe you should propose so he can sulk about his manhood and you won't have to wait another 9 years.

Above it you should write "will you marry me you" so it says Will you marry me you wiener?

Maybe he is insecure, you should do it, there is nothing wrong about a woman that knows what she wants and goes for it.

It's been too long. Either propose yourself or dump him

OP here! Thank you for the ones who didn't completely bash me or my relationship. We started dating when I was a sophomore in HS. We graduated college a year apart and I'm currently a few months away from completing my master's degree. We are both in the careers that we went to school for and worked extremely hard for. We have discussed marriage plenty of times, like a million of times. With the discussions we've had and plans we have made, the proposal could happen at any moment...which is why I even had the idea in my mind. He had no idea that I thought anything about that moment until after the fact. We have ridiculous sense of humors so it was something that fit perfectly in our relationship ?

Real keeper you got there. Although, I would have went with something more elegant. "Dong" perhaps.

It's been 9 years... You're still hopeful he's going to propose?

In my opinion, 9 years is way too long to be in a relationship and still not be married (assuming that's where you want the relationship to go). It sounds like he has some s.e.r.i.o.u.s commitment issues, sorry OP :/

Waiting that long means nothing and gives no indication of commitment issues, it can depend on their circumstances. My aunt met my uncle at 17, they waited over 10yrs because it just wasn't the right time and given they started dating young, they wanted to get their lives in order first. My boyfriend and I have talked about marriage, but we've agreed we're not even considering an engagement until I'm at least 25. That could be a 5yr+ wait because we want to be financially stable before spending money on a wedding. In the OP's case, they started dating when she was a sophomore in high school, probably around 15, 9yrs means they're in their mid 20s now. The fact that they waited that long is good, they went through school and have their lives in order, and are in a more stable position to get engaged and married.
