Today, my boyfriend of 3 years announced that he is not ready for marriage, and won’t be for 'at least' another 2 years. Of course he waited to tell me this 2 days after he had proposed to me in front of hundreds of people, I said yes, and we announced it to all our family members and friends. FML

Today, my long-term boyfriend took me to my favorite restaurant. After the main course, he knelt down and finally proposed to me. I was so happy, I almost cried. Until an old woman came over and said I was way too old for him. I'm three years younger than my fiancé. FML

Today, at a dinner I'd been planning for months with my fiancé to talk to our families about the wedding for the first time, he told me he didn't want to get married. I cried in front of both of our families and a dozen of strangers. 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.

Your b/f either doesn't listen to you...............or just doesn't give a **** and does what he wants. Either way your situation is an awkward one.

He deserves it for not listening to you in the first place. Communication is key in a relationship! But grandma shouldn't be crying. After all it is your relationship and not hers

It's good you said no, he probably would of not listen to anything you said in the future.

Hopefully you are "of age" because too often am I seeing young couples (around 16) rushing into everything. My two mates got together and within 8 months they were engaged, looking for a house and expecting their first child. They were 17. Love used to mean so much more, it seems.

Good for you for not caving to the pressure. Public proposals are sort of gross... it's creepy and manipulative.

What a dick. You told him nicely you're not ready for that sort of thing, he ignores you and proposes in front of your family?! Was he ******* listening?! Your Gran didn't have to cry, sake, that shit doesn't help at all. Good on you for standing your ground and ignoring a public proposal.
