A Surprise Proposal Gone Wrong: Who’s to Blame? ‍♀️

In a whirlwind of emotions, this woman found herself caught between love and her worst fear: a public proposal. Despite her clear preference for a private, intimate moment, her boyfriend planned a grand spectacle, inviting 75 guests to witness the proposal.

He insists she embarrassed him and demands an apology, while she stands her ground, believing her preferences should be respected. This dramatic tale raises the question: who’s in the wrong here? Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

Should you have come and leave him like a dumbass in front of 75 people? Because by the sound of it, it’s what you would have done (and it would have been the same with me tbh!)

Dude had it coming:

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!”
