'I hate my selfish boyfriend's marriage proposal - he made it all about himself'
A newly engaged woman has slammed her fiancé's marriage proposal after he made it 'all about himself'. Despite saying yes, the 28-year-old claims her fiancé proposed to her in the most "selfish" way possible, doing it in his home state surrounded by his family.
Taking to Reddit, she said: "My boyfriend, 30, and I have been together for four years. I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and his mother offered to throw us a baby shower in New York, where they’re from, and we agreed to it. The shower was on Saturday and they invited about 100 people, they have a really big family."
After travelling to New York from Texas, the couple enjoyed their baby shower and spoke to his family members about their life in the Lone Star State. But then her happiness turned into sadness after he popped the all-important question in front of the 100 guests.
She added: "The shower was going alright until he got on his knees and proposed. I was so shocked, but happily said yes and everybody clapped and the night went normal after that. Personally, I was upset because the proposal didn’t include not one friend or family of mine, I was surrounded by people I barely knew.
"It felt so selfish because he made the whole proposal about himself and didn’t think about what I would want. I told him before if you’re going to propose, tell my best friends so they can help you plan it. He took that happy moment away from me and I will never be able to get it back."
'My girlfriend invited pals on a romantic trip for the two of us - I left early'
That night, she mentioned how she was upset about the proposal not including anyone from her side of the family - or her closest childhood friends. But upon hearing this, he blasted her as an "a***hole" and accused her of being "ungrateful" for all he and his mum had done for her.
Wanting to know whether she was in the wrong, she asked Reddit users: "I didn’t say too much else but I’m still upset. So I’m I wrong here for feeling the way I do? My family and friends weren’t invited because I plan on having another baby shower in Texas with my people. Plus nobody would want to fly to New York even if they were invited."
Commenting on her post, one user said: "It sounds like a lame proposal, but having your friends help plan it and to be there is also lame. Since when did proposing become a spectator sport? I'd be more annoyed it wasn't in a romantic way.
Another user added: "Why is a proposal suddenly a hugely staged family and friends event? Shouldn't it be two people where and whenever it happens?" Do you want an actual marriage or do you want all the show which now apparently spreads the actual proposal, parties, weekends away, and big wedding?"
A third user said: "It’s clear that he didn’t think about you at all when he planned this proposal. He just wanted to show off for his friends and family and couldn’t care less that none of your friends or family were there to witness it. Then he doubles down when you express your feelings to him by calling you names and saying you were ungrateful. I’d think twice about deciding to marry this guy."
