boyfriend proposes to girlfriend during HER graduation ceremony

The responsibilities are in the areas of fiduciary duty, financial support, moral support, privacy, respect. The rights gained are in such areas as inheritance, accommodation security. I suggest you use google.

i'm happy i was an "ass" before. can't stand scripture.

do you not get this with a relationship though?

Damned hypocrite

No, of course not. An unmarried person has no fiduciary duty to his or her partner, for instance. They might act is if they did but the partner cannot expect the legal system to enforce it.

but you do get financial support, moral support, privacy, and respect do you not?

You may get it (or may not), but you have no right to it.

if you desperately need the law to make sure there is respect and moral support in a relationship then i think thats simply due to a lack of love. its like forcing a relationship with very minimal resources.

I'm glad someone does! Honestly, people that claim to be feminists and come up with bs like this is just top level cringe

yeah yeah "wE gAve oUr gIrls riGhts aGes agO"

i agree he shouldn’t have proposed to her on her day. on her graduation. he couldn’t wait until tomorrow ?

why not both? Why couldn't she have 2 memorable things happen in 1 day? i.e. her graduation AND getting proposed to?

this lucky lady has hit the jackpot.... degree & husband

what if she wasn’t interested? why would he do that on her very special day, she might even feel pressured to say yes because so many people are watching. he could’ve ruined her day by doing that.

Well he didn't and to be honest its tough. They are in a relationship together and when you are in one, you should expect to be proposed to at any time. To me it says that you are unable to deal with humiliation in a mature way and in addition, if there are people in the background laughing or being rude, it shows their immaturity and they are at fault not you.

If it happened to me and I got rejected, the fault would lie with me and I would literally say 'fair enough, I was hoping you'd like it to be this way' and just carry on with things as normal because the more you see and act like it as like a big deal the more awkward it could become.

the only hypocrite here is you criticises islam when ever he can but is a hardcore christian behind the screen.

what if she wasn’t interested? why would he do that on her very special day, she might even feel pressured to say yes because so many people are watching. he could’ve ruined her day by doing that.

I criticize Islam because everything it stands for is objectionable to what Christianity teaches. Also I wouldn't quite say "hardcore", I just care about it and have put the time in to learn about it.

Half of what I say isn't so much criticism anyway, I'm just taking the piss out of it, because knowing what I do about it makes it very difficult to take seriously.


Quite often, when a proposal is going to take place in a public area where there's going to be a lot of people, it's been talked about beforehand and arranged between them. I don't know if that's happened here, but I can't imagine he'd've done it that way if he wasn't absolutely confident. Besides which, people don't usually propose to people they aren't in a relationship with already, and if you're in a long term relationship, chances are you're both interested.
