Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of three years. I worked my ass off planning everything down to a T. It seemed perfect, until I actually proposed, at which point I was rejected and dumped, in front of my family, friends and two coworkers. FML

I am the Original Poster. I'm only replying because so many of you requested a follow-up and so many of you are misconceptualizing the context. From the beginning I discussed my interest in a serious relationship and expressed my eventual wish to be with her. I did not explicitly say I wanted to marry her. In common logic, there is no need for that. It is to be expected. For the ones asking about age. I am 30 years old, she is 25 years old. That was clearly not the problem. I am not seeking attention in all of this. But I will let you people know I emigrated for this girl. I made entire reservations for the family members I wished to see. I sacrificed a lot for her. I adapted to her needs. Some of you people say just because there is effort, she doesn't need to accept. While I agree, at some point, when you realize how much sacrifice is made, you are bound to love. There is no love whatsoever without sacrifice. I told her from the beginning that I am not wasting my time. If you are not sure what to do with the rope I gave you, let go early before we get to high grounds, so you could spare me a killer downfall. To all the people who felt sympathetic and gave me a "chin-up". Thank you. A lesson learned that I will teach every single one of you here. Be selfish. I have filled my heart with hate. Love and cherish. Just do not sacrifice so much that you find your life so strained you realize that you wasted years of hard work, effort and emotion. Mind your mental health.

in all fairness, proposing in front of basically everyone you know really wasn't the right move. it actually sounds like the only thing you didn't factor into your proposal was the possible discomfort of the woman you proposed to. in situations such as family gatherings and sports events, its often stated that there's too much pressure to say yes, which was probably your undoing.

The lesson here is that big, over-the-top proposals are just as worthless as big, over-the-top weddings.

If you date someone for 3 years and aren't ready to get married you need to move on and not waste that persons time. No you don't have to say yes to a proposal but they were dating for 3 years. How much longer did you plan to dangle him along? Plus you dump him which means that the marriage thing is something you NEVER want to consider. If you just want a **** buddy or a casual relationship explain this shit to them don't date them seriously for 3 years and humiliate them when holy shit imagine that they want some commitment. 3 years is a long time to go without considering marriage it is also too long to go if you never planned commitment anyways.

she could of said yes to save you the embarrassment at the time and then said no later.

That would be even worse! She could have pulled him to the side and said can we talk about this at home? Or quietly say no and that she was breaking up with him and leave.
