At 10 months, I'm surprised he proposed. Of course it depends on what your age is. He's stupid for going through with the proposal even though you clearly said you aren't ready. And it's sad grandma is disappointed, but honestly, it's not her relationship. She should stay out of it.

Trying to pressure you into marring him? That's not cool.

What? You're way off base. I am completely committed to my boyfriend, to the point that if someone sees a picture of him I am asked "is that your husband?" it is natural to say yes. I wear a ring on my left hand that I bought to show others that I am taken - but I am not ready to be engaged.

I say dump him. He knew you said you werent ready. So he tried to force you to say yes by pulling such a public stunt. Dump him and, if you two live together, throw his crap in the yard. How is that for a public stunt?

I agree. Sadly, this is only the start if she commits. Soon she will break down and start giving into and it will ruin her damn life. Run. Now.

After 10 months it's not an fml if somebody doesn't want to agree to something that's supposed to be the start of a forever commitment. 10 months is a pretty short time.

It is actually possible to be committed without either marriage or engagement.

Perhaps he took you bringing up marriage in a conversation as one of those hints women like to drop when they want something, fyl for being misunderstood at least you know he loves you enough to propose if you're still together by the time you are ready then propose to him in an equally flashy fashion hopefully he'll say yes.

I don't call it love when he asked her in front of her family in order to pressure her when he already knew the answer. That kind of manipulative behavior can only get worse

It means more commitment. It can be a month or years after proposal that you get married. But after you told him its wrong of him to do that.

That was so not cool of him....Im sorry OP that should never have happened.

Why not just say "yes" at the moment, then rip him bloody later in private? It wouldn't be "toying" with him when you'd already told him, nor would it be lying when he already knew the truth. Give grandma her moment, then later you can explain that you'd decided you just weren't ready yet, or whatever. That's not a renege.

Yikes. My boyfriend and I are just over 2 years in and are discussing it... Like actually discussing where we see out future and do we see ourselves together. I can't imagine someone just popping the question like that knowing the other person didn't want it.
