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.

Okay, unless you want more to experience more manipulative and malignant behavior, you should dump him. Also tell your family exactly what happened.

Run away from your boyfriend OP! He sounds like a crazy daisy.

Well perhaps he is smarter than everyone thinks. He clearly knew OP was not ready but asked in front of her family anyway. He has just written his own get out of jail free card. Years from now when the pressure is on to propose he just says remember last time. I don't want granny to get upset again. He sits back and doesn't have to commit. Dump him now before he rides this train as gas as it will go.

That's a possibility. Either way, he's a dipstick.

He was trying to manipulate you to get what he wanted. Dump him cause it will only get worse.

He probably thought you'd say yes cause it was your grandma's birthday. But honestly, he was being a dick. Im sorry if it ruined the rest of your grandma's birthday party. :/

I'm still trying to figure out why he proposed when you said you weren't ready... The presence of a grandmother doesn't suddenly make one want to get married, at least in my experience.
