Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Marriage isn't what it used to be. It used to be more common, with a lot of emphasis put on its sanctity. Divorce was less common, and even looked down upon. Through high divorce rates, or watching your parents contempt for each other, people are looking at marriage through a different lens than before. People are waiting, they're getting married later, and sometimes they're not getting married at all.
In this Reddit piece, the woman here tells her boyfriend repeatedly throughout their relationship that she doesn't want to get married ever. She had a messy divorce, and doesn't want to deal with those horrors again. Instead of respecting her wishes, he just keeps insisting that they marry. He pretends to drop it, but behind her back plans a proposal in front of her children on vacation. I don't blame her for leaving either.
And if you like this piece, you'll certainly enjoy the story of the man who refuses to invite his parents to his wedding.
