Should have said "no take backs". Number one rule of the playground!

Im sure he will get over it soon OP, don't lose hope. He probably just realized his life will change drastically and he just flipped out for a lil bit. It will be ok!

49- perhaps she speaks with a Southern drawl? Foghorn Leghorn-esque, but less manly and more human.

OR he's a selfish asshole.
Harpy20 24
If he's not sure after 6yrs and, even worse, has a reaction like that after the decision HE made to get serious...maybe it's time to move on?
CrookedCook 14
Is that situation really a basis to move on. Perhaps he didn't think it all the way through and became way too afraid. They've been with each other for so many years already and the fact that he attempted at least means its in his mind. OP probably needs to talk things out with him and he'll come around again. Not sure why FML com enters feel it's OK to just jump ship.

Or he asked the wrong gf then realized his mistake

He seems very indecisive OP, perhaps he may not be ready for marriage.

You've got a Boomering. That's 24 carats of Lie-mond.

I can understand on how he did it. People usually don't like big changes in their life's.

If he doesn't like big change why propose in the first place? OP's boyfriend is probably just an idiot.

Nerves are understood but take back the ring? That's some anxiety right there!

Maybe he did too much over thinking!!! Let him have some time to sort out his thoughts and talk to him about it :)

I'm surprised he bought a ring at all. After 6 years, he would think that his "free milk" came in a lifetime supply.

Assume much? Maybe they've been together since they were 16 and he didn't want to get married too young, maybe not. Maybe he comes from a divorced family and he wants to make sure that doesn't happen to him, maybe not. There are a lot of possibilities, but 6 years isn't really THAT long when you want to make a (hopefully) life-long commitment.

24 - You're new here, aren't you? :)
asb818 14
Ok, I'm ready for the thumbs down on this one... 28 - I'm aware of the "possible" joke, but because it is so cliche, it was not likely 38 - No, I'm not new to FML, I just don't comment incessantly.
LuckBeNimble 19
44- did you just say the possibility of a joke ON THIS WEBSITE was not possible? oy vey!
kofeinisti 6
No. He or she said that because it was such a cliché the joke was not _likely_.
Zomg_Okay 27
44 - You took a Perdix comment seriously. That screams "I'm new here".
