Misguided

Today, my boyfriend brought me home flowers and candy for the first time in our one-year relationship. Thinking he was going to finally propose, I got excited. I asked why he was being so sweet, and he responded with, "I thought you'd take the breakup better this way." FML

I'm sorry, but "finally propose" and "1 year relationship"?

He should have got down on one knee when he said it. That would have been the best breakup of all time.

How could you date a guy who doesn't bring you candy or flowers for a whole year?! My bf sends flowers to me at work at least every two weeks.

Didn't know candy and flowers were that important. Now I must reconsider my own relationship because I've never got any candy or flowers from him, eventhough he loves me, buys more beautiful and longlasting things than candy and flowers, and a relationship is not based on presents.

I'm thinking your boyfriend is probably cheating on you 92.

Who cares? Just eat your candy and be thankful he Actually thought of you.

I don't get why everyone is like "OH after only ONE YEAR? You're so desperate!!" People, one year is long enough to know if you want to marry someone. Heck, my boyfriend proposed to me less than a month after we started dating. And I didn't pressure him into it. I admit, it sounds very crazy, but when you know, you know...so why drag out the dating process? On the other hand, we were engaged for over a year, but it was still a quick boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. It just depends on the relationship. I think a year of dating is plenty long to get engaged, but I guess that's just me....I mean really...it's just me so far who understands where the OP is coming from. Weird.

You said it: it depends on the relationship. For me, it's obvious OP never talked about marrying or proposals or maybe even their future, because she was not on the same level as her boyfriend. If two people have a feeling after only one day of dating that their relationship is strong enough and decide to marry, that's absolutely fine. But OP was the only one in the relationship thinking that, and it's so desperate to hope that he finally will propose if they hadn't even discuss marriage/had the same feeling about eachother. Something is terrible wrong if one thinks she's going to marry while the other wants to break up.

I feel sympathy for her its easier to get over someone if they do something mean to make you angry ive had a recent break up and the last thing he said was that ill always have his heart then we held each other and cried its left me unable to move on i keep thinking that someday he will come back to me i wish he would have been mean about it so that i could hate him and move on im sure she does too

This is why you never expect anything & you will never be disappointed.

ydi for wanting a proposal in only a year. you say finally like it should have happened six months ago

YDI for saying he was "finally going to propose" after only one year.
