Today, my boyfriend invited me over to his house. I was planning on breaking up with him while at his house. Turns out, it was a proposal party. I'm now engaged because it would've been rude to say no in front of his family that had flown in. FML

Oh gosh take him aside in private explain why you think it's a bad idea and that you really resent the way you feel forced to say yes, do not stick around for the sake of politeness it's not healthy

Although I can see why you gave in to the social pressure, you should've immediately asked for a private minute and told him about your feelings. This was not ok on his part! You should never ever propose in public if you haven't talked about marriage beforehand and are absolutely 100% sure of your partners intentions. It's absolutely assholeish to pressure your SO into saying yes by inviting all of your family.

No it's rude to promise to marry someone if you don't mean it. Tell him now!!!

So now what, is it 10 years later and you're still married to a guy you don't want because you don't want to BE RUDE?
