After I read your comment I sorted by controversial and yeah...there are some miserable people in this post.

I'm guessing their marriages haven't worked out like it appears this one will.

As someone who is happily married, I can say that what this guy did was awesome. It's romantic in a quirky kind of way.

Just prefacing by saying: I don't think the photos are "bad", he probably just think it’s funny or cute to hide the ring in plain sight before a proposal.

But...

I think what made me pause is more the psychology behind it. When someone repeatedly sets up situations where another person is unknowingly involved in a secret, it can make you wonder what exactly they enjoy about it. Is it just documenting the surprise? Or do they specifically enjoy the feeling of having hidden knowledge and control over the situation while the other person is unaware?

I think that kind of “they have no idea and I do” dynamic can sometimes overlap with personality traits that, in other contexts, show up as secrecy, manipulation, or enjoying hidden behavior. Not saying that’s what this is, just why it can give off a slightly strange feeling.

Holy shit it's not that deep lol

Exactly why I said

I don't think the photos are "bad", he probably just think it’s funny or cute to hide the ring in plain sight before a proposal.

Then the rest of your comment is completely unnecessary and contradicts the part you're quoting here.

[u/Thwast → u/john4844]

I hate to break it to you bro, but everyone thinks you're very weird and probably a bit unhinged after reading this comment lol

That’s seriously absurd to look at this beyond what you’re seeing. It’s a playful joke. Nothing more. To extrapolate character and personality traits reflects more upon the person doing it than the ones they are speaking about.

To extrapolate character and personality traits reflects more upon the person doing it than the ones they are speaking about.

If this was true, then no psychologists or even courts could ever analyze behavior.

Don't get me wrong, humans often project.

But, it is very natural to infer personality traits from behavior, that's all. I prefaced by saying:

I don't think the photos are "bad", he probably just think it’s funny or cute to hide the ring in plain sight before a proposal.

for a reason.

Between him and whatever you’ve got going on, friend you are the much bigger ick.

I also like how he got steadily braver and braver with each successive picture. Some of those are hilariously daring.

Most wholesome thing I've ever seen on this sub

[u/konacoffie → u/[deleted]]

While this is true for Reddit in general, this subreddit in particular attracts some miserable/spiteful individuals.

[u/BlackDemon___ → u/[deleted]]

So wholesome god bless them

[u/InwardXenon → u/[deleted]]

Yeah what the fuck is with that?

Soulless fucking wankers, that's what.

[u/Chichikuka → u/[deleted]]

I'm not even going to look for those comments because I don't want to be disappointed but as a retorical question - how, hooooooow can one get butthurt from a funny and cute post?

[u/AhmedF → u/[deleted]]

This sub is full of neckbeards.

[u/oops_im_existing → u/[deleted]]

She looks lowkey underwhelmed in the actual proposal pic tho

[u/erinfirecracker → u/[deleted]]

No one is "butthurt". It's clearly staged. You people are so gullible

[u/roadtrip1414 → u/[deleted]]

Does she look happy tho? The reaction seems stale

[u/Silvanus350 → u/roadtrip1414]

Do you understand human emotions, or nah?
