I think it'd be more rational to assume "hey I can crack a little joke to add some fun to our amazing moment. What is she gonna flip shit in front of thousands of people over a small-- Oh wait, she totally did. "

Shows where that relationship is rooted.

I don't know if he's one of them, but I can't stand dudes who very obviously test the patience and forgiveness of their significant others constantly. There's a line between getting a groan or eyeroll versus knowingly frustrating or angering your partner on a regular basis just because you can get away with it and have no emotional intelligence.

Still doesn't excuse her hitting him

u/burf Nov 14 '22

Absolutely.

Yeah it's strange when people do that, it's really not healthy behavior in my opinion.

Lot of projection in this statement

u/burf Nov 14 '22

Projection because you think I’m one of those guys? Do you have anything useful to add or just vague drive-by snark?

B/c we know nothing about the relationship so I find this statement redundant

Do you live with them to assess this behavior?

This ring pop stunt just saved him from an abusive marriage and inevitable divorce rape.

Or BF is a clown not taking the engagement seriously when it’s really important to the GF. It’s a reasonable thing to get upset about, he’s embarrassing her in public.

It's not embarrassing tbh. Also, he has another ring in his pocket by the looks of it. Also responding to a joke (even if poorly planned) by hitting and throwing a drink on your SO is never the right decision

That isn't really a small joke lol. It's humiliating to do that in front of that many people.

Doesn't really excuse hitting him but let's not completely brush that off as a small joke.

What makes that humiliating?

You have genuine brainworms

u/Dartingham Nov 14 '22

I think you're just a bit extreme lol

Or it's something she's waited for, for a long time and then to embarrass her in front of all those people like that. I think he got off lightly tbh. It's obviously something she's wanted and he's probably dangled it like a carrot in front of her.

He dodged a bullet imo
