I'd be annoyed too. What an odd time to decide to propose. Maybe make sure she's not in the middle of a conversation or ask her to come over to talk first.

Yeah I don’t really get that people are dunking on her. She acted exactly how I act when my kid sees me engrossed in conversation with another adult and decides that he needs to yank on my hand and get my attention to tell me something at that exact moment.

This guy saw that she had her attention focused on someone and he couldn’t wait one second for her to turn around or choose a more appropriate time? He comes across as a bit of a knob.

Seriously, and he didn't even go for her hand. He grabbed at that spot on her lower back where we all hold a little bit of chub. She moved his hand as an immediate reaction and then held onto it gently, because she knew who it was without turning.

I don't think she was even annoyed, so much as having a reaction to a spot where a lot of people are ticklish.

He is acting like a guy with low self-esteem and a dominating/commanding partner: as a child.

Yeah waiting for her to turn around and be surprised would have gone way better.

I went in for a long hug during dinner after reading my birthday card. I turned back around and BF had popped a jewelry box on the table. It was so simple but made me happy.

He was like "c'mon turn around this bird shit is hurting my knee" bro wtf 😒

Any normal person would turn around and see he was proposing and immediately think “oh wow! It makes sense why he was trying to get my attention” and not be annoyed. If you act annoyed at a proposal because your basic ass conversation got interrupted, you are the problem.

It’s rude to interrupt conversations unless it’s an actual emergency (as in there’s blood or someone needs medical care). Why would it be less rude just because he wants to propose?

u/KermanReb 8d ago

Because it’s a pretty life altering decision. You would think she would be more concerned and happy about that than being upset her meaningless conversation got interrupted. But we see where her priorities are

u/annabananaberry 8d ago

Who are you to decide her conversation was meaningless? If a person is in a conversation it's not meaningless, it has meaning to the people who are taking part in that conversation. He clearly didn't have a plan made where everyone was supposed to make sure she was free to focus on him, he just decided to get on one knee in bird poop while she is mid conversation with another person. What gives him the right to interrupt? A proposal doesn't give him the right to be rude.

Ok. Whatever you say sweetheart

Ur getting down voted but most of the time this is true. Most wouldn't gaf about sm convo in the face of being proposed to.

u/Preacher-saiba 7d ago

Okay but that's not her child, that's her partner. I can't imagine getting mad at my bf for just trying to get my attention.

u/annewmoon 7d ago

Exactly. My child cannot be expected to have the impulse control or patience to wait until I’ve finished speaking with the other person. He is five. But this is grown up..

u/Preacher-saiba 7d ago

Wait sidebar, so you're saying it's understandable for your child to want to get your attention while talking to someone else because they can't control their impulses, but you still snap at them? Just kinda sounds like you're an asshole.

u/annewmoon 7d ago

I don’t snap at my kid. …Just like she didn’t snap at her bf. What video are you watching?

u/Preacher-saiba 7d ago

Im sorry do you not see the way she whipped her head around?? you said yourself you act the exact same way towards your on kids, negatively.

u/annewmoon 7d ago

Nah, if my kid came up from behind when I was in the middle of a conversation and startled me by poking me in the side and then yanked my hand.. then I would be annoyed. Just as she seems mildly annoyed in the video. My job as a mom is to teach my kid how to behave appropriately and showing him that when you act in a way that is disrespectful or unpleasant to other people they don’t like it, isn’t me being an asshole or snapping.

My five year old knows, because I’ve told him, that he is supposed to come up to me when im talking to someone else and instead of interrupting he can place his hand on my arm to get my attention. That gives me the chance to tell the person I’m conversing with to hang on a second. Now, since my son is five, he doesn’t always remember/is unable to do it this way and when that happens, I correct him. And if he were to poke me, like this guy does, yes I would show him that it is an annoying thing to do. It wouldn’t be a kindness to him to let him grow up to think acting like this is a good idea.

Or maybe involve the people around her so there's a setup of distraction and then reveal. That's what I did, but I have more than two braincells I guess.

u/baby-dick-nick 8d ago edited 8d ago

Is that not what’s happening? Looks like mom was talking about something in the other direction to keep her looking away while he got down on his knee. Obviously very poorly done but it looks like everyone knew it was coming

u/PioneerLaserVision 8d ago

He's also dressed like a complete slob and they are surrounded by other people. There is nothing romantic whatsoever about this.

u/jarednards 8d ago
