I have so much secondhand embarrassment from that story. First off she says their first date was at a coffee shop, so you know right there what's up. Then she mentions these walk dates, what is she referring to exactly? What is a walk date?
I hadn't heard of that sub. But I was looking at other posts and I think walk date is when they have a specific day they'll leave these guys if they don't get engaged.
There's other stories on that sub of women proposing to their bf's too 😬
I went to the sub. Wow. That's all I can say. That sub doesn't even need to exist, it just needs two stickies at the top that say, "If he wanted to, he would" and "he's just not that into you."
Many of these proposal pick mes are probably mentally ill scapegoated daughters who have been conditioned by patriarchy to rely on boyfriends to survive sadly.
6 times she proposed and all he had to say was "propose better and I'll say yes"
Her proposing isn't her job , that guy sounds like such a loser.
In a way, I could see a pick me proposing twice. He said no because of finances and then she tried again when it was better and he complained about ugly flowers.
After that, Is just insane even for a pick me.
At least she embarrassed herself enough to leave and she doesn't have to deal with him anymore.

This is unreal, as in I can barely believe this is real.
I'm in my 30s and have never known any woman who proposed to her husband. In my world, this just doesn't happen.
I'm in my thirties as well and when I was growing up this never happened. I feel like it's becoming more acceptable lately though. There seems to be more and more women proposing. I know one girl that proposed to her now husband a couple years ago. She said she proposed because he's shy and if she didn't propose he just would never do it.
That sub is so depressing. I can't even fathom staying with a guy for 6+ years.
I was on a thread the other day of a person who was in despair because her boyfriend of 10 years still wasn't proposing and kept moving the goalpost. So many comments were saying, "But why not pRoPosE to hIm??" Like, you have got to be kidding me. She was already putting herself to shame bangmaiding and now she needed to do that? But of course, Reddit, where trashy men like that would act just like the guy in the story here would. Pleeeassseeeee 🙄
Her story makes me feel sick. Her comments below the post make it clear he was abusive and controlling, and had removed her from her support network and from everything that gave her happiness. She was desperate, and trying to please him.

Her self-respect must have been in the absolute gutter to do that.
Imo dont even propose to a man ONCE. They know the balls more in their court with that stuff and if they really want to, they'll play it.

I’m *never* proposing to a man. Ever.
At least she woke up and left him!
But that was a rough story.
