I will always remember how ex was like... “let’s just get this over with” as he was taking me to the place where he wanted to propose.
I wonder how many of us had bad proposals and ignored the warning sign?
Mine took me away on a weekend vacation, and stopped the care just afer we got on the freeway to tell me he was going to propose to me that weekend but he just couldn't. I just said "that's ok" and we went ahead with our weekend. The next night he proposed to me at sunset and I told him no, he wasn't ready, but he pleaded and I accepted. Looking back I was a ridiculous doufus. If after a year of living together he was still so confused I should have run the other way, or at least stood firm in my refusal. (In retrospect, it's possible that guilt was eating at him, as he had been gone on a medical trip for part of the previous summer, and when he came home wanted to move into his own place. I talked him out of that - it was financially impractical for both of us for one thing - but in retrospect, I suspect he had a fling with one of the other medical students on the trip. I never connected the dots until after my divorce, but now I question a lot of things like that.)
Anybody else out there have a bad proposal that should have been a big red flag?
