Today, I had to suffer through a four hour flight beside my ex. Yesterday, I proposed, on the last day of our vacation. She said no. FML

So you broke up with her cause she said no? Maybe she just wasn't ready?

Maybe she broke up with him though.

Just cause she doesn't want to marry you right now doesn't mean you had to break up?????

She said yes to the vacation. Now is your time to talk to her and ask her why she said no. If all else fails ignore her, go out clubbing/partying and find yourself someone else.

Better than proposing the first day of your vacation at least

If I had got a no when I proposed, I would break up. She said no, not right now, not later or after I'm XX years old, it was NO. The reason for dating is to find the one you're going to marry.

Just because someone says no does not mean that you have to break up with them. Some people don't like marriage, while others just aren't ready. Giving up every time someone says no shows that you aren't truly committed to them. Also dating has nothing to do with finding the one you want to marry. Some people do it just because they think the person is hot, they want sex, or to try some things out. You can't expect to want to marry EVERY single person you date.

I hate to break it to you, but dating has EVERYTHING to do with getting married. Cause here's a news flash for you. You will ONLY get married to someone your dating. Unless your parents are going to arrange it. And yes I could imagine marring everyone I dated. If not that's when you break up.

Not everyone wants to get married though. Dating is a commitment. Marriage is a higher level of commitment. Some people don't see the need to go higher in commitment to prove their love.

Then you break up cause you two are looking for two different things.

Why do people always break up with each other when one person doesn't want to get married? Some people are against marriage for whatever reason, or feel it would be too soon to get married. Just because you don't want to marry someone doesn't mean you don't want to be with them... Relationships are a team effort and people can't read minds, so communication is key. She might have had a completely legit reason for saying no, but they probably didn't talk about it and work it out. We don't even know how long OP and his ex had been dating. It could have been like a month and OP was just too hasty, who knows?

Some people try to propose within months of knowing their partner, thinking they are "the one". Not saying everyone does, but a lot of people do. I have a friend who proposed to his girlfriend only knowing her for a month, and they want to get married within a few weeks...

I guess that explains the high divorce rates...

Because a lot of people do want to get married and there's no point in staying with someone who doesn't. What kind of crazy person would stay with someone who rejected a proposal? Sheesh.

You don't have to break up, but if you have completely different plans for your life then breaking up is not a bad option.

Damn if I got asked that question I'd never say no. I'm sorry.

I'm not quite sure I follow your statement lol

Yeah, If you broke up with her for saying no, then you are not ready for marriage. Considering marriage is about partnership and helping each other through everything. I understand to a point not marrying her thinking it will never go anywhere but maybe you should think it through a bit more.

I know that this doesn't have to do with this post, but what does ydi mean? I keep seeing it in different comments.

Aw, I think he was just trolling, trying to get a lot of "witty" replies. Maybe next time. :(

No I actually did not know what it meant but thanks lol

At least you didn't propose on the first day and break up and have to spend the whole vacation with your ex. At least it's just a few hours.
