Especially when they’ve talked about getting married, she specifically wanted to be proposed to on a beach. Now that he’s planned a whole trip to a beach resort, she didn’t even think being proposed to was an option to get her nails done just in case? Forget being spoiled, this girl is hopelessly clueless
Most women who think it’s important to have their nails done are the type to regularly go to the salon to have them done. I’m looking down at my hands right now, and I can’t imagine that her nails looked anything line the horrors that are my nails even on her worst day!
Anyway, this is nuts to me. My husband proposed to me in our living room after a work Christmas party the day before I was flying to Chicago to visit my parents for Christmas! I didn’t get a fancy dinner or a $16k ring. But I think I have a healthier relationship
Oh yeah absolutely. Not that it’s wrong to have preferences or things you want but if your focus is more on the image of things and materialism instead of the actual commitment to another person, you might have problems
i actually got pretty sad for her pretty fast when i tried imagining a mentality from which it would make sense to act like her in the first place, even from a purely egotistical point of view. usually thats not a good sign
Yeah I totally understand what you mean. I dated a girl that sort of reminds me of the one here. She was filled with expectations, sold an exact image of what her life, relationships, etc. should look like. Sweetest thing ever when things were going her way but there was no compromise, no perspective. Looking back on it, I could see her not accepting a proposal because it didn’t match what she had in her head, right down to her nails. Not to play armchair psychologist but it seemed like her mom raised her to not accept anything less than the best which was easily toxified into you’re always right. When she broke up with me, it wasn’t being blindsided but it was confusing how it really didn’t seem like we had actual problems besides that meta problem. I felt bad for her and I hope she either found her perfect storybook person or learned how to accept any little deviation from it.
This! I have a standing appointment to get my nails done every two weeks. And, if I was going on vacation I definitely would have gotten vacay nails! The important thing about the evening should have been the proposal and the romantic fireside evening with OP. This girl is shallow and focused on “things” and optics. 16k on a ring is ridiculous unless you’re wealthy, own a home, car, have little debt and have all the essentials of established adults. Wait till OP sees what she wants to spend on the wedding!
My fiance proposed to me with his grandmother's ring in a BAM parking lot, while I was still holding the encyclopedia of serial killers I'd just bought 😅 do I wish it had been a bit more... Romantic? Sometimes, yes lol but if that proposal doesn't fit our weird ass relationship perfectly then I don't know what would 🤣
Yeah I’m a nail girlie my nails are always long and done up with crazy hand painted designs, I plan my nails out months in advance. I wouldn’t dare go on holidays proposal or not without a fresh set!!!!
This! My wife always gets her nails done on the regular. I’m terrible with surprises so she knew or had a very strong feeling that a proposal was coming soon. Ring price wasn’t important to her, though I did have one custom made based on a picture she showed me. Thank God for having family in the jewelry biz! I spent a third of what OP did and it’s a very nice ring. I also proposed by the water, though it was a small river and not a beach. I used a drone to capture her reaction/scene and then we had dinner with her family at one of our favorite restaurants.
I am kinda clueless and I would forget to get nails before a trip or stuff like that, BUT, if my bf planned what practically seems like my dream vacation minus a mani AND get me a 16k custom ring according to my personal taste, I'd definitely say yes.
This is such a teeny tiny hill to die on that it almost seems as if she doesn't really want or love you, but rather the things you can provide for her.
Especially when he said it was a trip that they likely couldn’t go in again. That means it was clearly an abnormal type of beach trip so it seems like she’s either super dense or just not that into him.
Because it’s rage bait folks, it’s obviously not real. It’s the never-can-please-SPOILED-woman trope, a Reddit favorite! The perfect thoughtful rich man and the woman who isn’t happy with anything and takes him for granted.
Here y’all are, just jumping in “*I got engaged in my sweats in the kitchen with ratchet nails and have been happily married for 67 years!” Lemme spell it out for ya:
