Today, my girlfriend started bitching me out about how public proposals are unfair and how they pressure a girl to say yes. All I did was get on my knee to tie a loose shoelace. FML

Sounds like someone really doesn't want to marry you. If you're in this seriously, you might consider finding someone else who is serious, too.

There's a difference between saying, "I love you, sweetheart!" in public and the spectacle that public proposals cause. Suddenly the proposee is surrounded by strangers who are hanging on their every word and ready to judge or comment if they say no. That's a lot of pressure and not cool if public proposals/marriage in general isn't something that hasn't been discussed. It's not that hard to feel out if your loved one is someone who's against or for public proposals BEFORE you get on one knee.

Am I the only one who thinks she thought he was going to propose? And, when she realized he wasn't that's when she got upset and had a bitch fit. Sounds like she wants that ring and is mad she didn't get one.

Tell her not to worry. She won't be getting a proposal public or private

While I agree with her, that really sucks. How was it not clear you were tying a shoelace?

I mean, I agree with her opinion, but...really?

Get on a knee and ask her to break up with you.

Be very careful not to drop a broom in front of her.

One question, and nobody get offended.... Is she a feminist? cause I can only imagine.... >~> "oh, my god. All guys do is publicly humiliate women by getting down on one knee like some "prince" and giving girls jewellery and asking OWNERSHIP of us. And the pressure is all on us, because if we say no, WE'RE the bad guys, but we're the VICTIM! We're always the victim. But it forces women to agree to become slaves to men, sexist pigs."

Eh, all the ones I've met that call themselves one usually act that way, which is why I asked. Besides, I thought what I put was pretty humorous. Then again, I'm into slightly more controversial humor, I really wouldn't have been surprised if I'd offended some people.
