Today, I found out what it's like to drive seven hours home with a woman who just brutally rejected your marriage proposal. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I drove 120 miles to spend a few days with my girlfriend. Less than 12 hours into my stay, she dumped me. FML
Today, I had to suffer through a four hour flight beside my ex. Yesterday, I proposed, on the last day of our vacation. She said no. FML
Today, I proposed to my girlfriend of 6 years. She said no. Why? She's already married. FML
Today, after being with my boyfriend for seven years, he finally proposed. To another woman. FML
Today, I drove three hours to surprise my girlfriend, who I hadn't seen in three weeks. When she opened the door, she gasped, told me to fuck off, and slammed the door in my face. FML
Today, I was cuddling with the girl I've been seeing for the past few months. She was saying how much she liked me and how much I meant to her. Reciprocating those feelings, I asked her to be my girlfriend. It was a HARD no for her. Then she drove me an hour and a half home. FML
Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. Driving her home, we got stuck in a construction zone. I waited half an hour with with my ex-girlfriend bawling her eyes out in the passenger seat as I watched the traffic lady eat her lunch. FML
Today, I went on a 70-mile drive to the next town over to finally meet this beautiful girl I had talked to online. To my surprise, she looked exactly how she did in her pictures, minus the ring on her finger and the fiancé who wanted to punch me in the face. FML
Today, after my girlfriend telling me for years that she would marry me in a heartbeat, I finally proposed. She said no. FML
Today, after 7 hours of driving, I begged my wife to take over for the last 3 hours. She pulled out a flask and took a long swig, then smirked at me. I drove the rest of the way. FML

"So... What's for dinner?"

She isn't automatically wrong for rejecting it, oddly enough. And it's hard to trust the assessment of brutal from somebody who got turned down. Maybe he asked in a big public display and she had to either turn him down then, or say yes then tell him "actually, no" later on. Either would feel rough. Plus they may still be together, it's not always all or nothing.

Maybe you should have considered the possibility of an awkward 7-hour ride back if she said no to your proposal? Also it's not the girlfriend's fault, and she has every right to say no, no matter how much time or effort or money he put in to this proposal! She doesn't owe him a damn thing, including a "yes." It seems kind of obvious that she didn't ASK for this, otherwise she would've said yes to him. It's very possible he just sprang this on her with no prior talkings of engagement. You really, really need to be sure that the person you're proposing to might want to get married. I made damn sure my girlfriend/fiancée wanted to!
