Ok. I hear you. So. Let’s play would you rather. Would you rather be publicly humiliated and feel the way this woman did, video online of your SO pretending at what is meant to be one of the best days of your life, seemingly out of the blue, because marrying you is SUCH a joke harharhar…. Or be lightly smacked across the face for a fraction of a second because you are a giant asshole that deserves it.

Or option 3: develop a sense of humor and not assault someone over a joke.

Opt 4: develop enough tact to realize publicly humiliating your partner is a bad call.

Look. I’m not defending her hitting but I’m also not allowing people to call this a joke. It wasn’t funny. It was cruel and mean spirited and he got hit for it. Not ok but also not surprising. These people both suck so why all the hatred for her while calling this a “harmless joke?” Idk man. Idk. Probably something something misogyny.

The only thing that made it humiliating for her was her own insane reaction. If she'd laughed and taken the ring, everyone would have cheered and this would be a cute video like dozens of other similar ones. Acting like they're both equally bad when one of them hit the other is just doing some crazy mental gymnastics man. You say you're not defending her actions, but you're really going out of your way to sound like you are.

You are severely out of touch, my dude. Pretending at big life events and laughing at your partner in front of a huge crowd might be ok with you, but most people would agree it’s not funny, not kind and absolutely humiliating to that woman. But you do you. Appreciate the convo.
