Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of three years. I worked my ass off planning everything down to a T. It seemed perfect, until I actually proposed, at which point I was rejected and dumped, in front of my family, friends and two coworkers. FML

I am the Original Poster. I'm only replying because so many of you requested a follow-up and so many of you are misconceptualizing the context. From the beginning I discussed my interest in a serious relationship and expressed my eventual wish to be with her. I did not explicitly say I wanted to marry her. In common logic, there is no need for that. It is to be expected. For the ones asking about age. I am 30 years old, she is 25 years old. That was clearly not the problem. I am not seeking attention in all of this. But I will let you people know I emigrated for this girl. I made entire reservations for the family members I wished to see. I sacrificed a lot for her. I adapted to her needs. Some of you people say just because there is effort, she doesn't need to accept. While I agree, at some point, when you realize how much sacrifice is made, you are bound to love. There is no love whatsoever without sacrifice. I told her from the beginning that I am not wasting my time. If you are not sure what to do with the rope I gave you, let go early before we get to high grounds, so you could spare me a killer downfall. To all the people who felt sympathetic and gave me a "chin-up". Thank you. A lesson learned that I will teach every single one of you here. Be selfish. I have filled my heart with hate. Love and cherish. Just do not sacrifice so much that you find your life so strained you realize that you wasted years of hard work, effort and emotion. Mind your mental health.

Yer you are right. I Broke up with a guy 9 yrs ago. We had been dating for 6 months but realized I was not in love with him just liked going out with someone & I felt it would be better for him to find someone that could love him the same way that he love them. It was a hard thing to do because I know that it would hurt him but at the same time it was better than compared to if he was asking for my hand in marriage. I'm not ready for marriage but need to find the right guy still. Your girl is out there so just keep looking

Oh dear OP, I don't know what to say but that I'm sorry. It's obvious that this is a major change for you, and that you are drowning in heartbreak, but please don't hate. You will love again, and you will find someone who will cherish you so much they'll never let you go. It will pass with time, please stay strong. It will be okay.

While the whole situation sucks (and i read the follow up as well), i really hate public proposals (that's what it sounds like happened) so I'm conflicted between fyl and ydi.
