This Guy Proposed To His Girlfriend With A Plastic Ring As A Joke And Now He’s Telling The Internet He Thinks She’s Childish For How She Reacted
A 35-year-old guy has been dating his 30-year-old girlfriend for 5 years now, and over the past 3 years, she has let him know that she would really like to get married to him.
His response to her has always been to just wait and see what happens because it will happen at some point.
Well, yesterday evening he went out with some of his friends and had a little too much to drink. Over the course of the evening, this guy and his friends ended up somewhere where there were arcade machines.
“I won a stupid plastic ring,” he said. “In my tipsy state, I was like “aha know what would be a great idea? If I pretended to propose to girlfriend with this.”
All of his friends thought it was a great idea and laughed, so he went home to do that.
It was around midnight when he got home and his girlfriend was sleeping, so he woke her up by telling her to quickly get out of bed.
He did this all in such a way that she started getting concerned and asked him what was wrong.
He instructed his girlfriend to sit on the bed, and he got down and proposed to her with the plastic ring he had won that night.
He also asked her to marry him, before laughing in her face. Understandably, she did not think this was a joke, nor did she find it funny.

She got upset, before throwing a pillow at him and going to the bathroom to cry. At this point, he was still laughing uncontrollably, while she just cried harder and couldn’t believe he thought this was funny.
She explained to him that it meant a lot to her to be married, and that he took away something that should be special by getting down on one knee.
Today, she woke up still crying intermittently and she told him he is mocking their relationship and mocking her too.
“I’ve said I’m sorry until I’m blue in the face,” he continued. “But a big part of me thinks she’s also overreacting and it’s childish.”
“The ironic thing is I do plan to propose to her for real soon.” He then said he feels like she just needs to get over this.
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Think about it: what is the joke here? What was supposed to be funny about your prank? The joke was she.”
“You were laughing at her and her dream of getting married.”
“A dream that at this moment (but perhaps not for long) only you could have made come true for her.”
“Only consider how cold and cruel what you did was. Calibrate your apologies accordingly.”
“For real? You better hope she doesn’t leave you before you propose. She’s not overreacting. You made a joke out of her feelings.”
“She’s probably crying because she knows what she has to do now. I know If I were her I’d definitely reconsider wanting to marry this person.”
“I didn’t even WANT to get married. I was legit surprised when my husband proposed. And yet, if he had made A JOKE of it, and acted like spending his life with me was a hilarious prank, I’d be out of there the next day.”
“Like it’s one (sh*tty) thing to not marry a person to whom you know it is important (assuming you want to commit to them). It is downright abusive to taunt them with it and mock them for believing you would do it.”
“And that’s BEFORE you woke her up, laughed in her face, and dismissed her feelings about it.”
“She’s been saying she wants to get married for years he wakes her up in the middle of the night and proceeds to make a total mockery of her feelings. I’m slightly surprised she didn’t dump him on the spot.”
“Yeah. I don’t know if I could come back from that. So casually cruel just for a stupid prank? How insensitive could you possibly be? Who wants to marry that.”
