Proposal and Love: Question Time

Question Time

By embarrassed - 03/01/2010 06:53 - United Kingdom

Today, whilst at my boyfriend's family get together, his cousin got really drunk and decided to ask my boyfriend when he was planning on proposing to me, loud enough for everyone to hear. An awkward silence was followed by my boyfriend's mother, who clearly said, "Hopefully never." FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML

Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. I said yes. This caused him to panic, excuse himself, then take it back via text message a half hour later, claiming he'd been drunk. We live together. When he comes back home, it's going to be very awkward indeed. FML

Today, at dinner with my boyfriend and my family, my mother had too much to drink and asked my boyfriend how I was in bed with the purpose of embarrassing me. His reply? "Not as good as her sister." His defense? "It was only one time." FML

Today, my boyfriend went to ask my dad for my hand in marriage. All I could make out from the door was mumbling, until profanities started flying. My boyfriend shouted "well she's a SINGLE bitch now!" and stormed out of the house. My dad still refuses to tell me what happened in there. FML

Today, my boyfriend of five years proposed to me in front of my entire family. He later confessed that it was part of a dare with his friends because, "There was no way you'd say yes." Guess who has to explain this to all my relatives? FML

Today, I brought my boyfriend over to meet the family. After several long moments of silence, one of my sisters burst out laughing, and asked, "Okay, who is this guy really?" FML

Today, I heard my boyfriend talking with my father in the backyard. I thought he was asking for my hand in marriage. He was actually telling him about his plans to break up with me. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were watching a movie where a girl proposed to a guy. He said, "I would hate it if that happened to me, obviously I don't want to get married if I haven't proposed myself." I was planning on proposing later. FML

Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML

Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML

Mom's retort kept the boyfriend from explaining the concept of "why buy the cow when you get the milk for free" to his whole family. It's 8 in the morning in Texas. Howdy from H-town!

@All the Texans Go Eagles! Probably should say something relevant too, so yeah: FYL because that really sucks.

I hate the Dallas Cowboys with a white-hot passion. I find that I am not alone here in Houston. The two cities have what is euphemistically called a "rivalry." My three favorite teams are the Redskins, the Texans and whoever is playing Dallas this week, so today I am an Eagles fan. And, Hook 'Em, Horns!

I am kinda an eagles fan, and yet I don't hate the cowboys. I just hate their fans! They're so annoying!!!! When the 'boys win, it's a huge deal that you hear about for weeks, but if they lose then it's not really important, so they can't hear a word about it. Then, when they finally realize their team sucks, they'll fall back with "well how many ring do you have?" as though it matters this year. How many playoff wins do you have in the last decade, huh? Yeah that's what I thought!!!!

No, that would just make everyone think that the op was a bitch and that's why the mother doesn't want her son to marry the op. The better thing to do is to ignore it and show that you are the bigger person. Most likley the mother didn't mean to say that and was thinking about her son getting married, not that she hates the op. My fiancée's mom was like that, she likes me and we get along great, but she doesn't like to think of her "little boy" growing up and getting married. That being said, op, if your boyfriend and his mom are really close and you haven't given her a reason to dislike you, most likley she didn't mean it to come out that way. Most likley she feels embarresed for saying that and she just felt sad about her son "leaving the nest".
