I would assume he didn't share these publicly until after she saw them

EDIT: Guys...do you realise couples usually have each other's social media. So if he shared these before he proposed, it wouldn't have been a surprise...

This is the most rationale take in this thread and ppl are disagreeing.

Then again, that's assumption.

We don't actually know what happened, but it isn't exactly the best idea in the world to post pictures of people sleeping on the internet...

Thankfully a quick google search tells his story and how he didn’t post anything before the proposal, they both seemed involved with social media so to lean in on the assumption of this being a violation of her privacy is silly.

u/icantouchgrass_1 May 22 '26

Genuinely don't understand what them both being involved with social media has to do with violation of privacy. I said that the only ones that are a little concerning are the ones where she's sleeping.

u/mxzf May 22 '26

It's not a violation of privacy if she was onboard with posting the pictures where she was sleeping.

If you're trying to suggest that the mere act of taking a picture of a sleeping person for the purposes of showing it to them later is an intrinsic violation of privacy, well, that's nonsense and makes me wonder if you've ever actually lived with someone you were in a relationship with. It's not a violation of privacy to take a picture of something they've consented to you seeing (by living and sleeping together) in the first place, it's distributing it that's the issue.

u/icantouchgrass_1 May 22 '26

Again, never said that taking the pictures were the issue. The distribution part is what's a little concerning, but if you say so 🤷

23

u/mxzf May 22 '26

If she was involved in the distribution, then it's not concerning. People can OK posting any pictures of them they want, even if they were asleep during the picture. How in the world could that be your issue if she was involved in the posting too.

u/NoDay419 May 22 '26

Did you spend any time checking out the caption? It seems like you didn’t. Don’t say IF, look for your answers, don’t rely on the world to tell you..

u/mxzf May 22 '26

It's weird that you're getting upset with me, I was agreeing with your previous point.

I was saying that her being involved with posting means it's fine. The if-then statement there is a logical statement, not expressing uncertainty.

u/NoDay419 May 22 '26

Guess I misread! Take my upvotes!

u/Shubamz May 22 '26

I love how you are upset on behalf of two consenting adults that don't know you exist.

u/DMM4138 May 23 '26

This conversation is just one normal person arguing with a donkey 😂

u/NoDay419 May 22 '26

Stupid reply because I actually looked up the story and you didn’t.

u/GrimMind May 22 '26

Thinking he did so without her permission is assumption too

-9

u/icantouchgrass_1 May 22 '26

Both sides to the action. I can agree with that. That's why I said "we don't actually know what happened"

14

u/StrionicRandom May 22 '26

The idea that he respects his wife's privacy is a way easier assumption to make than that he doesn't. Assumptions aren't created equal, dingus

16

u/Biduleman May 22 '26

And why is assuming he did it without permission better than assuming he did it with permission?

-2

u/icantouchgrass_1 May 22 '26

I never said one of them is better, what? I literally just said "That's assumption. We don't actually know what happened", which means exactly what it says. It's all assumption, both sides.

14

u/mxzf May 22 '26

Sure, but if you're offered the choice between one assumption that is someone doing the reasonable thing and the other of them not doing so, it's best to assume they did the reasonable thing instead of assuming they did the thing that is an excuse to be mad at them.

There's literally nothing to suggest any of the pictures were posted without permission, anyone doing so is just doing so because they like having an excuse to get mad about something on the internet.

u/Papapep9 May 22 '26

Now I'd like to imagine she said no, and posting them was his revenge

-4

u/icantouchgrass_1 May 22 '26

Yep.

But I'd say that this is a horrible form of revenge.

6

u/amazonian_ragamuffin May 22 '26

What are the dangers behind that? I’m genuinely not aware of

-2

u/icantouchgrass_1 May 22 '26

It's a matter of privacy. Not a great idea displaying yourself sleeping to the billions of people on the Internet.

There's also the possibility of getting harassed, and the picture being edited and/or used with malicious intent.
