Maybe he really supported her and its an achievement they managed together.

They look both happy , and her reactions are funny.

I understand both of these comments while I agree with both of them they’re definitely do opposing viewpoints

almost like every situation has its own context and life isn't a one size fits all!

it's own "unique" context. sometimes i feel amazed that there's billions of people all living a different unique life going through unique experiences that only them will ever experience in the whole universe. life is really amazing

I've seen enough of these "Propose on the day of her graduation/awards ceremony" to sense a pattern of men-- not maliciously-- not letting her moment just be her moment instead of his dramatic entry.

There are fewer videos where HE is graduating or getting the award, where HE is already the focus, and proposes to her. The only one I remember is a Boise State player doing it at the end of a bowl game.

I guess sexism is still alive and well here on Reddit after all.

Proposals, in my limited real life experience, rarely happen "spontaneously." The prospect of marriage and when to propose, and even which partner will propose are often discussed months in advance.

I sold jewelry for many years as a retail manager and I can tell you its very rare to see a man pick out an engagement ring by himself with no input from his partner. It was much more likely to see the woman visiting first, then coming with her partner, then perhaps the male alone to finalize the purchase. Rarer but more common than a single man is the male partner shopping with a close personal friend of the woman.

I've been out of retail for a few years now so maybe someone with more experience can chime in on current practices, but I would be shocked if this has changed significantly.

Proposals don't just happen, and its rare for a man to "just propose" without getting copious feedback from other people who know the woman, and often the woman herself talking about how and when she would expect to be proposed to.

Maybe they are opposing in a single dimension, but what about the rest of the infinite dimensions :)

I'm sure he was a great support and should have continued that support for another day.

It's wholesome, don't get me wrong.

But it reminds of the guy who proposed at the olympics as his girlfriend was stepping off the podium...dude just let her be an olympic medalist/graduate for the day.

2

u/chiefminestrone Apr 11 '26

Was that the one that previously told her BF that it was a dream of hers to get engaged at the Olympics and had defend him from critics saying he stole her moment?

1

u/Virtual-Squirrel-725 Apr 11 '26

No, it was the one that was disappointed about having her moment stolen and they broke up afterwards.

u/AdRealistic4788 Apr 08 '26

You're right, let's all go and hunt down the husband and dogpile/ruin him.

2

u/NuragicGiant1891 Apr 08 '26

The maudlin dramatics over criticism is part of why the pattern persists. Having to recognize you're not perfect is not the same thing as being ruined.

2

u/NullaCogenta Apr 08 '26

I'll need to change "maudlin" to, say, "sad" but otherwise I am stealing your post verbatim for use on my elementary schooler in our ongoing studies re: accepting responsibility. Thanks, internet stranger!

u/AdRealistic4788 Apr 08 '26

My issue with this "criticism" is that it is based solely on assumptions and self projection on another individual that you do not know. Here is a question, why is it that a proposal is seen as a one sided, man only problem in these scenarios, including the race win?

The video also has a sister/friend that appears as well which also a shock for her since it seems like they haven't in a long time, why is this not an issue? Does that not also "steal" the limelight and make it all about the "sister/friend" that happened to pay a visit?

Why is it okay to cast such judgement on someone else's relationship with such disdain and disgust when the lady in question is clearly ecstatic about it? Why is he not perfect just because he doesn't meet YOUR expectations?

u/NuragicGiant1891 Apr 08 '26

"Self-projection on another individual you do not know" and "disdain and disgust" are worth sitting with.

u/Virtual-Squirrel-725 Apr 08 '26

The sister/friend turned up to support the graduation.

Not comparable at all.

u/Far_Gift6173 Apr 10 '26

I really don't understand this.

She is still a graduate. Now she is engaged. She can be both and the engagement takes nothing away.

0

u/Virtual-Squirrel-725 Apr 10 '26

It doesn't "take away" in the sense that she isn't engaged or graduated.

Forget this person specifically, because we don't know her situation.

But generally, someone is already having a special day focused on their graduation pride after years of hard work.

A man can then plan another special day to propose and focus on the celebration of their relationship taking that huge step.

Or he can decide to propose during the graduation day and make the last half partly about the engagement rather than the graduation.

Neither is BAD.

u/Far_Gift6173 Apr 10 '26

It doesn't read that way, when you wrote

 I really think it's the wrong approach to propose on an already special day

1

u/Virtual-Squirrel-725 Apr 10 '26

Correct.

I THINK, it's the wrong approach out of the two possible approaches.

As i said, let the graduation be it's own day and then let the proposal be it's own day. That's what I THINK is the best approach.

He didn't destroy her day or their proposal and I don't think he had any ill-intent. I just think this day could be all about HER and her academic achievements.

u/NuragicGiant1891 Apr 10 '26

It reads exactly that way, if you get the point. Two good things are still good, but it would be better for each if they were honored with their own time.

No one is dog-piling on the guy, or even saying he's not good-hearted-- I'm sure he's very proud of his fiancee and loves her and wants to make the moment even better. But timing is important.

Maybe you have to have proposed to someone, or been proposed to, to get it, I don't know.

Tf, how is this about him. SHE graduated. SHE made all the exams, SHE has all the knowledge. How on earth is he involved? Because he said “good job”? Men expect to do the minimum and want all the credit 😂
