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

willstaysingle tells us more.

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.

Better now than divorce court.

Dude she's a bitch, your better without her

Aw. Sorry to hear that OP. I wouldn't worry about you though. U seem to be a guy who puts a lot of effort in relationships, so it won't be hard for someone ( a wayyyy better girl than ur ex) to fall for u. Hope u don't give up on love :'p

Sorry but I told her I would stop banging her if she ever married you.

I definitely don't think you deserved it but I think others should take a lesson that if you're gonna propose, don't do it with an audience. I've read far too many FMLs of proposals going bad when it's done in front of a large crowd of family &/or friends

Aw I'm sorry :c don't be down. Find someone better c:

Ah man! That's brutal. Sorry to hear OP.

It may be possible you may have freaked her out with too much attention
