Love: Delayed

Delayed

By inheritance - 05/05/2015 14:44 - Denmark - Lyngby

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She said, "Sure, but not yet." As we've been together for five years, I was a bit confused, but she cleared that up with, "Not until your dad has died, I don't want him to ruin my wedding with a bad toast." FML

Today, my girlfriend rejected my proposal, claiming she refuses to get married until she finally finds her dad, so he can walk her down the aisle. Babe, he walked out when you were 7 and hasn't been seen or contacted you since. Just say you don't wanna marry me so we can both move on. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend. She got incredibly excited and started flapping her hands around. Then she suddenly went deadpan and said "But seriously... no." FML

Quietly overjoyed

Today, I think my boyfriend of 5 years is going to propose soon. He told me he was thinking about it last year, and spoke to his parents, who said they wouldn't attend the wedding as "It's not their thing." My dad passed away in November and I don't talk to my mum, so I have no one to be excited with and share the news. FML

Today, I proposed to my girlfriend in public. She happily said yes, and the surrounding crowd cheered for us. About 10 minutes later, after the excitement died down, she leaned over and quietly said, "Actually, I don't want to marry you. I only said yes so I wouldn't disappoint the crowd." FML

She is worried about a bad toast? I say she is a control freak, and will take complete control of everything, if she has not already started on that. I could understand if a parent was a danger to other people but in that case you would just ensure they didn't attend. But for a bad toast? Find a normal girl.

on the bright side, she DOES want to but... hey its a woman and she wants the "most important" day of her life to be perfect. good luck!

Don't be a jerk and generalize. She didn't say that because "she's a woman", she said that because she's insensitive, narcissistic and thinks the world revolves around her. Not all women are like that.

OP is from Denmark. I mean, haven't you all read Hamlet? Murdering one's extended family is like a national pasttime there.

Please don't say that, Hamlet was written by Shakespeare, an English play write. Danish people aren't all fictitious characters, written over 500 years ago.

Maybe I took this so seriously because my dad was my best friend and he'll never see me get married because he is already dead. Joking or not, that's incredibly rude and unacceptable to me. Some people said, "What if the dad's a dick?" Maybe he is, but maybe he's nice and really likes and cares for op's girlfriend. That doesn't matter because it's still a bitchy thing to say. Talk to her before you decide to break it off or not, because she still might not have been serious.
