Will you…

Today, I invited my girlfriend over to a family lunch, planning to propose to her at just the right moment. My family was in on it, including my apparently disapproving mom, who kept causing a scene to grab my girlfriend's attention every time I went to pull out the ring. FML

what a bitch. I'm sorry op. wish the best for you and your girlfriend/fiance!

Wow your mother sounds horrible to do that...just propose behind her back and see how that makes her feel! It's your love life not hers. Good luck with your proposal! :)

YDI for trying to propose in public, especially in front of your family! your girlfriend would have felt very uncomfortable. you should do it in private, it's also more romantic! ;)

When are men going to learn that telling ANYONE ELSE about their plans to propose is a really bad idea?

I would have thrown something at her at that point. But you also have to ask "why is she so disapproving o the relationship?" she might know something you dont. This is coming from someone who has a bitch of a sister in law and doesnt do jack around the house or work.

Ughh... Somebody is not coping well with their "baby" leaving. Or doesn't like not being the center of attention

I say it's time to try again... at a dinner where the two of you are alone. Isn't it a basic tendency for public proposals to be uncomfortable and applying unnecessary pressure on the one being proposed to? Your mom is unknowingly doing you a favor, by maximizing the chances of you getting a "yes."

Hopefully you still proposed and just tell your to shut up if she interrupts again

Your fault, engagement should b just you and her, your family doesnt have to b there, especially if ur mom disapproves

Your mom was trying to prevent you from making the biggest mistake of your life.
