Today, I told my boyfriend of ten months that I'm not ready for marriage. A few hours later he proposed at my grandma's 85th birthday party. She cried when I said no. FML

At 10 months, I'm surprised he proposed. Of course it depends on what your age is. He's stupid for going through with the proposal even though you clearly said you aren't ready. And it's sad grandma is disappointed, but honestly, it's not her relationship. She should stay out of it.

Trying to pressure you into marring him? That's not cool.

He was insensitive and it was terrible of him to try and use your family to coax you into saying yes. I suggest you have a long talk with him about considering your feelings and emotional blackmail. Sorry about this.

Either he wasn't really listening (her mouth was saying no but that smile in her eyes was saying yes) or he was deliberately trying to apply social and family pressure. Thinking something like 'She'll say yes just to keep her grandma from crying'. I'm not saying it's ok to do things like that. But that's the only reasons I can figure out other than BATSHIT CRAZY

He probably wasn't listening, gaming perhaps? If so, he already thinks he's ready as far as communications skills go.

Are you sure you told him and not his twin brother?

I'm not sure if you deserved this or not. I think YDI for dating someone for ten months and still not wanting to get married. FYL though for him proposing in a non-private place especially when he knew you wouldn't say yes.

What? You think she should want to get married after only 10 months?

Seems he was trying to pressure you. Kudos to you though for standing your ground :)

He clearly deserved it, you didn't.

He probably thought with your family around it would convince you...but you stood up for yourself...and when the time is right you'll say yes...

I've been with my boyfriend since we were 15 and we're 19 now. We've talk about marriage but both know we're not ready yet since we need to focus on college and such. As for him going through with it knowing your thoughts on it, is just plain stupid. Also isn't 10 months a bit too early, shouldn't it be at least a year or two. I feel as though you don't really know somebody until it's been well over a year.
