And people say that romance is dead. Pfft.

Unless you think he is actually joking, and he is actually more considerate most of the time, I'd say no. If that is standard behavior, it won't change. Posting here makes it seem like you expect more from a potential spouse, so cut your losses and go find someone who is a bit closer to what you want.

Time to get over that dumb shit and be done with him

Do you constantly nag him about marriage? Unless he's immature, I don't see any reason for him to act like that.

More like "Today, I handed my girlfriend a ring and said "let's get this dumb shit over with". She thought I was proposing to her. It was a ring pop. FML"

My parents have been married for 35 years and are very happy together. Before they were engaged, my dad's sister helped him choose a ring, and then she wouldn't shut up about it. One day my parents were sitting together on the porch after another irritating hint from the sister, and my mom said, "Look, are we getting married or not?!" My dad said, "Fine!" and tossed her the ring. All I'm saying is, sometimes it works out.

Yeah, my parents just hit their 25th anniversary, and apparently my dad asked my mom (sans ring) while they were driving on the freeway. "Hey, you want to get hitched?" Aaaaand as much as she complains about his lack of romance while popping the question, my mother said yes and stuck around. So you're right, it could work out for OP, who knows?

This is different though, he referred to it as dumb shit. That's quite different from both your parents who clearly wanted to get married

If it's joking and just how they interact with each other that'd be different, we just don't have enough to understand whether or not it is. If that's how they interact and op found it hilarious, congrats. If not, I have to agree with others about saying no. For some people a proposal like this is fine, we just don't have enough information about op and their relationship to really tell if op put this up out of amusement or if she put it up because she found it upsetting/rude/ect.

For me it was not like your parents. He said we should get married and said we'll get the ring later. Then (after purchasing the ring) I explained it was important to me that he propose FOR REAL. He did what I suggested, but acted like it was embarrassing and wanted to hurry up and be done with the charade. It was horrible. And guess what....the marriage has been too!

Some people want to eventually get married instead of staying gf/bf. However, if she did not talk to her bf about her desire to get married early on in the relationship to avoid such things, it's a bit on both of them. He should just end the relationship to avoid cheating in the future and she should have made sure marriage was what he wanted from the relationship before spending so much of each other's lives on the assumption they knew what the other wanted.

Even so, he's still a huge asshole for calling her desire for marriage "dumb shit".
