(#2) Ti Amo
From Redditor u/PazzaCiccio:
My mother told my father no three times. On the third time he got wasted at a local bar and basically started pouring his heart out to any one who’d listen. Mind you, it’s a very small village in the Italian alps and my father barely spoke Italian and no one in the village spoke English, including my mother. Word got back to my mom about this sad American at the bar so she went to find him and she told him she’d marry him.
My parents celebrated their 44th anniversary last month.

(#10) Flipped The Script
From Redditor u/notibutm:
We actually got married, moved in together, 2 weeks later, she moves out, blocks me everywhere and never gave me a reason, shortly after I was served with papers, now I'm divorced, that was last summer and not sure where I am now, making work my main priority for now.
I just want to know why for some closure, but that's too far gone now.

(#15) Maybe, But Definitely Not
From Redditor u/gardibolt:
Dated a woman for over two years and popped the question. First time she said “I don’t know”. A couple months later I asked her again, she said “Maybe.” I was pretty bent out of shape. But then I found out she was sleeping with several of my friends so I dodged a bullet there really.

(#6) It Could Be Worse
From Redditor u/yathisisafakeone:
We were dating for a little over a year but I was so sure she was the one. I drove 2 hours to see her at her college and went on a beautiful winter night walk and proposed. She looks me right in the eyes and said, “Oh you thought this was serious? Well um I don’t know how to say this other than I have been seeing other people. Well actually I have been seeing other women.” I was stunned I got up put the ring in my pocket and walked to my car got in and drove away never looking back crying the whole time. Haven’t seen or spoken with her in 7 years even though she has tried countless times to reach out. Now it’s a story I tell friends who are nervous about asking their significant others to marry them. Reminding them that even if they say no it could be worse

(#1) Worse Than Ross And Rachel!
From Redditor u/ThePeasantKingM:
Oh I have a story about this.
My friend A had been with his girlfriend B for years, so he decided he wanted to propose. What he didn't know, is that B was also thinking about proposing to him.
A proposed first, and B freaked out because she had already set her proposal and bought a ring, so she said no. Over the next week, B freaked out more and more, and refused to answer A's calls and messages.
A then decided to use the money he had saved up to buy a plane ticket to Europe. What was supposed to be a 3 month trip through western Europe turned out to be a year long trip around the world.
One day, A says that he's coming back and B decides to go and wait for him at the airport and propose to him there. It turns out that while being in Peru, A met a girl and they fell in love almost immediately, and got married in Peru.
Cue 5 years later, A and his Peruvian wife are still happily married and recently had a baby, while B hasn't still quite forgiven herself for ruining her relationship with A.

From Redditor u/Nemrodh:
I was a young Marine. I was only home during the weekends. was dating this girl for about a year from my home town.
When I asked she said yes.
Her dad former Navy kept saying we should wait. We put it off for a bit longer.
Fast forward another year. she dumped me. Father informs me she has been sleeping with A LOT of guys.. like more then 50 over the 2 yrs we dated. And was very happy i didn't marry her. and apologizes to me for her behavior.
She then totally ghosting everyone including her family for about 6 months. Find out she moved 7 hrs away and was living under a house.. not a basement. under a house with her new bf... She calls her mom to come get her. Mother and father ask me to go get her and bring her home..
Good times.. good times.
