A man is fuming with his partner after she belittled his proposal attempt which took him months to plan.
She had caught wind of his intentions after he booked a hotel and made dinner reservations but said she thought he was going to screw it up.
He had been planning to pop the question the week before but their daughter fell ill so they had to stay at home.
The man was able to shift the reservations to the following weekend and ended up proposing on the beach. But she said she expected more and kept asking him for more reasons as to why he wants to marry her.
Taking to Reddit, the man, who remained anonymous, added that his partner has a hard time giving up control for special occasions but felt belittled and embarrassed when she mocked his attempt as he felt he made it special for her.
In the post, the man wrote: "So when she caught wind that I had booked a 24 hour sitter, had booked a five- star hotel, and made some events and dinner reservations, she began inquiring about my proposal plans.
"When I asked her to trust me since I put a lot of thought into it, she told me she expected me to “'mess it up.' She eventually apologized for this."
He added that when their daughter fell ill some of the things he booked got cancelled but his partner understood there was nothing he could do about this and was fine with it.
"After we got to the hotel and enjoyed the digs, I found us a very nice restaurant to eat and drink and we went on our way," he said.
They then made their way to the beach and he decided to pop the question.
He said: "At the beachfront, I got on one knee and nervously proposed. I am by default a very anxious and nervous person, so the entire time I was shaking and sort of laughing.
"After I was done with the proposal, she said she was hoping I was a bit more serious and asked me to name more reason why I wanted to marry her. We spent the whole night talking about what we love about each other and everything seemed fine.
"Today, out of the blue - not amidst an argument or anything, but quite abruptly - she made a very passive aggressive comment about my proposal."
He admitted becoming emotional and said the proposal was difficult to plan, especially with her thinking he was going to screw it up. But she claimed she was proved right as she felt he did screw it up.
When he heard this, he stormed out.
In response, many have sided with the man and said his proposal should not have been belittled in this way.
One person wrote: "Are you sure you want to marry someone who belittles and disrespects you like this?"
While another stated: "Why do you want to spend the rest of your life with this person? Sounds like no matter what you do, you will always fail in their eyes."
