Today, in the "end-of-the-world" spirit, I asked my boyfriend to marry me. His response was, "It's really windy out." FML

People. Really. Talk it over with your boy/girlfriend before you decide to get married. It's (should be) a lifetime choice, not a random question you spring upon the unsuspecting victim.

He probably doesn't want to marry a nut who thinks the world is going to end today. He also doesn't want to cause such a nut to explode into irrational violence by not giving her an outright rejection.

First of all, as others have said, "the end of the world" is a terrible reason to propose. If the world wasn't ending (it isn't, by the way) then would you still have proposed? If the answer is no then you should never have proposed. You should be proposing because you want to grow old with that person not because "oh shit we might die in the next few hours and I'd might as well propose". Secondly, did you and your boyfriend ever discuss marriage? If not then why did you propose? Marriage is a big step and both couples need to be on the same page before a proposal happens. What if your boyfriend isn't ready for marriage? What if he never wants to get married? These are things you need to know before you propose.

If the man proposed instead, would you have the same reaction? If so, do you object to all proposals? That's a serious question. I, for one, don't like the custom of surprising the woman by suddenly presenting her with a ring when she isn't expecting it. Not only is it sexist, it forces the woman to make a rash decision when the emotional situation isn't conducive to rationality.

#41, it's still the morning in Chichen Itza, so don't put your guard down so fast.

Maybe he meant he couldn't hear your question because of the wind noise. Or he gave you a stupid answer to a stupid question, asking because the Mayans calendar ends. YDI OP!

Women don't propose in the world where they come with dowries and can't be left alone in a room with a man before marriage. The 1890s called - they want their sexual stereotypes back.

I could use a bottle of end-of-the-world spirit about now.

She didn't say she actually BELIEVED in the end of the world 2012 necessarily. People can get into the Halloween spirit without literally believing the dead come back to walk the earth that day too.

Agreed. I thought OP meant that line in a lighthearted way, myself. I know several Jewish families who get into the spirit of Christmas, and yet they don't find Jesus to be the reason for the season.
