People have different preferences, and that's okay. If someone's preferences don't align with someone else's when it comes to a restaurant, they talk it out until they come to a conclusion about what works for both of them so they'll both be excited about going out that night. A lot of the time, significant others have different preferences, but the key to working it out is proper communication, which is more complicated than we think it is at first. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP revealed that she wasn't happy with how her proposal went down. Apparently, she'd expressed to her significant other that she wanted a private proposal several times, and he didn't seem to have any issues with it. She described herself as an introvert, so she told him she preferred to celebrate with friends and family afterward. That's why when he finally proposed, she was shocked and disappointed to discover that he had invited his friends to the proposal, some of which she didn't even know. When she expressed to him that she was disappointed with how he decided to propose, he told her she was acting childish because it wasn't about her. We're super confused as to why he didn't express that he wanted people at the proposal earlier.
When we first read this on Reddit, we knew there was going to be so much to unpack here. At first, it sounds like OP didn't appreciate all the effort her significant other put into the proposal for her, which paints her in a bad light. However, once we found out that he asked her what she wanted for the proposal only to disregard it for what he wanted, the true bad guy is revealed. We don't get what the point in asking her was if he wasn't going to listen. It's honestly a red flag in our books, but that's none of our business.
Even though we wouldn't describe ourselves as introverts, we totally get where she's coming from. It's supposed to be a special, intimate moment between two people who are promising to love each other forever. There's no need for other people to be there. We get that the couple may want to celebrate with their friends and family, but they could always celebrate with them after the actual proposal. We have no idea why OP's fiance decided to take matters into his own hands without consulting with her first when she clearly expressed what her dream proposal looked like.
