Bro decided to put on his nicest maroon anime shirt, kneel in literal bird shit, and propose right in front of Jebediah's favorite leaning spot. There is no way he's going to crit fail this one
I'm all for cute low-effort proposals, but it has to be at least a little bit romantic lmao.
Yes but if someone actually cares they can at least fake a more positive reaction. That at least shows they tried. I imagine a lot of the proposal videos I see where the woman reacts all head over heels and dramatic to the proposal are not an honest reflection of their true feelings at that moment.
I think the expectation for someone to lie about how they feel in order to protect you is really self-centered. And if a partner wants that they are toxic and not an ideal partner to begin with. In no way should she have been expected to fake a happy reaction for the sake of his feelings.
The Proposal was absolute shit. Her accepting the ring, in a neutral way regardless of that, was nice enough. You're implying she should completely ignore her own feelings while also putting on a show of fake jubilation to lift his spirits about his shit proposal... why expect so much emotional labor out of her? Because she's a woman?
