Today, my boyfriend proposed to me by handing me a ring and saying "Let's get this dumb shit over and done with." FML

And people say that romance is dead. Pfft.

Unless you think he is actually joking, and he is actually more considerate most of the time, I'd say no. If that is standard behavior, it won't change. Posting here makes it seem like you expect more from a potential spouse, so cut your losses and go find someone who is a bit closer to what you want.

Say that the next time he wants sex! (Assuming he wasn't actually joking, and proposed for real in a more appropriate way.)

Life would be so easier if society wouldn't tell us that the main goal of life is marriage and having children. If you don't want to get married just don't. If you want to get married, find someone who wants to marry you, too, and do it. If your expectations do not match then either compromise somehow or split up. The compromise of course not being "getting over with this dumb shit".

referring to marriage as dumb shit clearly means he has no respect for the concept of marriage, ask him why he wants to do it anyway, the answer will help you decide OP

So many potential answers. "But I've already had sex with you." "But I've already met your parents."

some people disagree with the institution of marriage, maybe he is one of them and is being pressured into doing it.

Are you sure thats someone you want to marry, OP?

I also think it's dumb. I mean you love someone in your heart, and not by the ring in your hand. The ring is just a symbol of materialism.
