Today, I was going to break up with my boyfriend after we went out for dinner. To my surprise, our families were also in the restaurant, to witness him propose to me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend took me out to a fancy dinner. Halfway through, he said he wanted to break up. I started crying, but the whole restaurant thought he'd proposed, and started clapping. FML
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
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house, intending to break up with him. Instead, I was greeted by his whole family throwing me a surprise party. I had to sit and listen to his whole family talk about what a great couple we are and how we're going to last forever. FML
Today, wanting to break up with my boyfriend, I invited him to dinner with my parents. I was sure they'd hate him, which would give me the excuse I needed. They ended up loving him, and now they won't stop mentioning marriage. FML
Today, I went to go meet my boyfriend at a restaurant to tell him it just wasn't working out. Before I could do so, he proposed. I had to tell him no, so he started to cry and ran out. Everyone looked at me like some kind of monster. FML
Today, I went over to my boyfriend's house to break up with him. When I got there, I got sent on a scavenger hunt that ended with him proposing to me. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed. I was about to call my parents and tell them we're getting married, but they called me first to announce they're getting a divorce. FML
Today, my boyfriend proposed to me. Everything was going perfectly, right up until he brought me back to his house to tell his family the good news. When I excused myself to the restroom, I overheard his mom say, "I thought you were going to break up with that stupid slut?" Welcome to the family. FML
Today, at a restaurant, I happily watched as my boyfriend of three years got down on his knees and proposed to me. Before I could say yes and hug him, a girl flung herself at him, kissed him and shouted, "Yes!" With us still highly confused, she then ran away. FML
Today, I'd been getting ready to hear my boyfriend's proposal, as his friends had told me he'd talked to them about planning it. He showed up at my house out of the blue… to tell me he's breaking up with me, only to find out he proposed to his ex hours later. FML

Aw. I feel bad for him. I really don't know how two people in a relationship can be on such different pages. Couldn't you at least have hinted about breaking up?

That's awkward. :/ Did you reject him? & #3, maybe they were on the same page. Maybe they both felt it was time for a change. She felt the solution was something new, and he felt it was taking the relationship to the next level, who knows.

If you actually said yes, you're an idiot. then: FHL for marrying you. If you said no, FHL for being dumped in front of his and your family.

dont marry him! it will never work out! people break other peoples hearts every day they will all get over it, and while yes him and his family know you are probably the best he'd ever do, but you know if its not right its not right.... but if you did say yes it sucks that your a "p" word and cant stand up and say no.... good luck --

#1 nailed it. Why the **** would you plan to break up with him after a night out? You're a cold bitch and you still tried to squeeze some out of him. **** YOU

Um, 1, it doesn't say that she DID break up with him in front of everyone, or that it was supposed to be insanely public. It does look bad that she wanted dinner first, though. This sucks for OP. I have NO IDEA what I would do in this situation.

#1 is absolutely right. Honestly, if you want to go to dinner so badly, break up with him before hand, and offer to go to dinner as friends to talk it through.

I agree, it sounds to me like they both thought things should change. It's disturbing as all hell, but I've heard of guys proposing to the girl to cheer her up or make the relationship feel better.

I hate when relationships get to that point. Nobody knows what to do by then and any attempt to make it better usually just makes it worse.

I can't really think of a good way that could have ended... I hope you didn't say yes out of pity for the situation though
