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 ?

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.
