Today, I found out what it's like to drive seven hours home with a woman who just brutally rejected your marriage proposal. FML

She isn't automatically wrong for rejecting it, oddly enough. And it's hard to trust the assessment of brutal from somebody who got turned down. Maybe he asked in a big public display and she had to either turn him down then, or say yes then tell him "actually, no" later on. Either would feel rough. Plus they may still be together, it's not always all or nothing.

Well as a couple in a good place (well presumably, he proposed after all), driving up together seems normal. And getting a hire for one would be pretty expensive.

Obviously they meant the return journey.

Exactly. I think the only question that needs to be asked, is have you two ever talked about marriage before this? If not, YDI.

I would like to know what "brutally rejected" entails exactly...

You're too nice, I would have left her there for being a ****.

Why is she a ****? Because she doesn't want to marry him and most likely thought she was getting a pleasant getaway weekend before OP upended her life out of the blue (or so I would guess, since these FMLs never offer evidence that the poster talked to his girlfriend in advance)? If anyone's life sucks here, it's hers.

Believe it or not, rejecting a proposal doesn't make a woman feel good about herself. It is a life defining decision, and she has to choose what is best for her, accepting a proposal to spare a guys feelings is not the right thing for anyone involved. To be in a relationship he sees as being serious enough to propose she must care for him, it will really hurt her saying no, knowing it will devastate him. Maybe in rare cases where the girl is a total attention seeking bitch who was just using a guy this doesn't apply, but i doubt many guys would put up with a girl like that for long, never mind propose to one. So no, rejecting a proposal doesn't make her a bad person, it doesn't mean she doesn't care about him, it doesn't mean she enjoyed hurting him.

I hope you got home early enough for her to pack her shit and get out.

She didn't have to brutally reject it. She could've just said no.

She may have just said no. Having a proposal rejected can only be brutal.

Well then, I sincerely hope that you also wouldn't have been the one who asked her to accompany you on what must have been a romantic weekend getaway, because otherwise it'd be very obvious why she rejected your petty ass.
