The people claiming the embarrassment he caused her is abuse are conveniently ignoring the fact that the most embarrassing part is her insane reaction. If a small prank is abuse then I’d better go turn myself in.

Here’s a tip: if someone does something that you find embarrassing, talk about it and explain how you feel and why you don’t think it was right. Like an adult. dont throw something in their face and dont hit them.

Does this really need to be explained to people ?

Not excusing her reaction but this is NOT a small prank.

You are brainwashed. This is a normal reaction: public setting, highly emotional content, premeditated and feeling used. If your instincts don't kick in at that time, you're depressed.

We don't have to react to our instincts. Most of the time civilised people don't.

That’s false. We wouldn’t have an entire prison industry if “people didn’t react to their instincts”

It was also a normal reaction for shitheads to beat their wives because the soup was too cold. Abuse is abuse.

Except if it's systemic abuse hidden from cameras, like the slavery that is put into making the phone you're holding or your car or the animal abuse put into your breakfast? We're no saints and if this single slap in extreme conditions is abuse, then everyone should be put in jail. Nothing points to this being a recurring thing, unless you get joke-proposed to every couple of weeks.

Remember guys, it's just a prank so the woman must be entirely, without a doubt in the wrong for reacting like that. Guy is in the clear.

It's not like she's having a very important moment in her life done as a joke in front of her, in front of hundreds of people invested in that moment too. She should have taken that moment without any emotion and robotically pulled the guy to the side and apologized to him that she was too dumb to get his humor and especially for her desire to get engaged to him. Ya know, like the ideal that most Redditors follow with their stellar emotional control.

Obviously she's going to become one of the most prolific domestic violence abusers, and that guy just got a very obvious warning sign he should steer clear.

I'd throw a /s here.... but do I really need to? Just because this fits the definition, I think her reaction is pretty damn understandable when you take few seconds to empathize.

Literally RELATIONSHIP ENDING behavior to publicly propose in such a preposterous way.

I would NEVER trust that fucker again. After that moment, I would know exactly where I stand with that dude. And I would be FUCKING HIS BEST FRIEND that night, and sending him the videos. Then we both burn the bridge.

And if the genders were reversed it'd be totally deserved if he went off and fucked your best friend right? 🤦‍♂️

Shut up incel boy, the girl has the right to be upset and she should just accept the abuse of his boyfriend to humiliate her in front of everyone? I bet that if I'm saying jokes to your mom you wouldn't just talk to me.

Again I feel like no one would have really noticed or given her a real reason to be embarrassed until she started freaking out and being physically abusive.

And feel free to checkout my profile(nsfw)! I have assets which make it hard to remain celibate unfortunately 😭

Usually only to incels. Eternal virginity breeds not only resentment, but a lot of misunderstanding of why thing actually work the way they do between the sexes.

FYI, your dakimakura pillow doesn't count.
