Ladies, we all have our standards for things. Some of us need to be swept off our feet, carried away to magical worlds unknown to most people. Some of us need to be the strong, assertive type, always leading and in charge. Some of us want to be the baby and be taken care of. There's an immense range, but the point is to make it clear to your partner what your standards are, how you want to be treated, and how you want to be proposed to as well.  

I couldn't imagine a more hilarious scenario, that you feel like you have a great relationship with your partner, and you've even talked about marriage. If you've been explicit about the proposal that you want and you don't get it, well that's definitely disappointing. If he proposes to you in a McDonald's in the middle of eating…well, that's just embarrassing. I would question that relationship as well.

    I know this might seem stupid and ungrateful but honestly I am too upset to even care. Two days ago my boyfriend proposed to me at a McDonald's near by our house. He got on his knees in the middle of us eating and asked if I wanted to marry him with a silver ring.

    Some people were looking at me with happy faces and others with looks of pity and disgust. That is how I felt in that moment. I didn't say anything I literally just sobbed and nodded my head because I didn't want to embarrass him.

    The reason I am mad over his way of proposal was because 1. We don't talk about him proposing every day but we probably talk about it twice a month, with him usually bringing it up. I told him I wanted my mom, dad, and my sister to be there if it was possible, and for it to be in a romantic setting.

    2. I hate silver jewelry, I am a gold girl and he knows it. I told him I would never want a silver ring and if he does buy me any jewelry it's gold. I feel like if you're asking someone to spend their life with you, than it should be more thought out and planned.

    I don't think this is the type of person I want to marry but I don't know. I've been trying to convince myself since yesterday that maybe I hyped up the proposal in my head too much that whatever he did would not have topped it off. I think anything but that would have been better.

    deathtoallants • 5h ago Maybe it's just me, but it seems like he went out of his way to propose to you exactly how you didn't want. Like he spent some time to think of and plan so it's exactly how you'd hate it.

    Geezell 5h ago A. He's an idiot who doesn't hear or care about a thing you actually like. B. He's testing the bare minimum boundaries that you will accept.

    C. He actually wants you to initiate the breakup so he is not the bad and you look horrible. Any of these things are an indication of a lifetime of let-downs. You deserve a partner who listens to your desires, makes an effort to make important events special and is able to

    actually know their own heart and mind and discuss their relationship with their partner. I recommend you take a very hard look at your relationship dynamics and look for other red flags.

    Dangerous_Bank5... • 5h ago I honestly understand every bit of what you're feeling. You expect someone who wants to marry you to put much more effort than that. I get wanting it to be a surprise but the mcdonald's? And the silver ring?? It literally looks like he doesn't care. The least he

    could have done was to ask some really close friend of yours to help him out. I would tell him I don't want to be with someone that seems to care so little about me since not only he didn't invite your family but he gave you a silver ring fully knowing you wear gold jewelery and on top of that

    Flashy_Air3238 • 4h ago My husband proposed to me in our kitchen and I wasn't expecting it at all. I've told him in the past that I'd rather not be proposed to in public because that's awkward and he listened to me. I've told him before about how I love silver

    about how I love silver jewelry and he got me a silver ring with diamonds. My point is that he listened to me. Your boyfriend didn't listen to you and it's okay to be upset and rethink the relationship.

    leeshylou 4h ago Yikes. I dated a guy who was super low effort, on and off for over 4 years. At one point I thought I wanted to marry him.

    Now I'm single, and alone in this world.. and grateful that he never proposed. There are worse things than being single. Like being tied to someone who doesn't see you as worthy of putting in effort. You deserve better.
