This is such an incredibly strange gesture. If she had just proposed to him, he might have taken it differently, but it's like he took away his agency.

I know for a fact that I would have played along, especially under the pressure of an audience. It's good that he stood up for himself. It wasn't the nicest way to go about rejecting her, but the pair had to find out eventually that their expectations were not aligned.

27-year old co-opts boyfriend's birthday to propose to herself on his behalf, considers break up after she orders "birthday cake" that reads "Will you marry me, Sarah?"
Do you like surprises on your birthday? I personally don't; in fact, I usually ask my partner to give me my birthday presents several days before. I'm typically an anxious mess on the day-of, preferring to meticulously plan the day's events. I'd rather not be caught off guard by anything. Some people love to be surprised, though. They might drop hints to their friends, families, or partner in the months leading up to their special day, strongly hinting that they want them to plan a surprise party – guests hiding behind furniture, sparklers, the works.
In our story today, our protagonist gets a pretty shocking birthday surprise from his girlfriend. When the cake comes out at the restaurant and all eyes are on the couple, it's not "Happy Birthday" that's scrawled in icing on top – it's a proposal. Except, she didn't propose to him; she is proposing to herself on behalf of him. Find out how this story ends by scrolling down below!
