Today, I helped my brother propose to his girlfriend of 5 years in the spot where they had first met. As he delivered his heartfelt speech, a sizable crowd appeared. When he got down on one knee, she punched him in the gut, yelled, "I never loved you", and ran away. Now he won't talk to me. FML

ElizaZee tells us more.

Hi, I'm the OP. Anyway, from what we've pieced together based on the accounts of family and friends, his girlfriend stayed with him for five years because she was a gold digger. My brother is fairly rich, and he always gave her expensive jewelry because he loved her so much. She would always wear the jewelry, but then it would mysteriously disappear after a few months. We suspect she was selling it, and basically using him. Also, we didn't think she stayed faithful to him, but he never listened. I guess she was off loving another man while my brother was unsuspectingly giving her jewelry that she could then sell. In other words, she's a bitch, and it's a good thing overall that she said no.

i'm speechless. why stay together for 5 years when she didn't love him -ever?!

That is beyond messed up. What was she doing with him for five years then?

That's Epic. Now those onlookers will never forget her.

Your life isn't ******. Your brother's life is.

He was on one knee, and she punched him in the gut? Anyone else find that kinda hard to imagine?

She punched him with her foot. :):):)

50, Are you suggesting she's a monkey? This. is. a. joke.

I doubt he's not talking to you because of your involvement. Perhaps he's too heartbroken. Get over yourself OP and just be there for him when he's ready to talk

And this is why you don't propose to someone without finding out how they feel about marrying you first, especially in public. It's not that hard to have a conversation that goes "So, where do you see this/us going in x years? Would you like to get married at some point?" instead of bombarding them with this unexpectedly in public, particularly if she does have social anxiety and doesn't feel okay about a crowd gathering.

i disagree with the people who are telling the OP not to mind and to give his brother time. it's not the OP's fault that his brother made a bad decision in proposing to his girlfriend without being sure she would say yes. it's selfish and immature to blame the OP for something for which he has absolutely no responsibility. i know he's hurt, but instead of blaming him, the brother could be leaning on the OP for support, which i'm sure would be gladly given. people should take responsibility for their actions and decisions, no matter how painful the result. that's just my 2 cents.

He's likely not only hurt, but feeling humiliated as well. He probably doesn't want to talk to OP, and I'm guessing anybody else, out of pure embarrassment. That's why OP should be understanding. When something like this happens to you, it gives you license to be a little irrational.
