A marriage proposal, that is. Would love to hear some stories/perspectives...
I was proposed to (without a ring) by an ex whilst living in New Zealand, some 15 years ago now. He was 22 years older than me, extremely successful & EXTREMELY controlling. He always decided what I would wear to functions & wanted me to be a certain way that didn't feel natural to me, choosing my underwear, blah, blah, blah. You get the idea. I wanted to come home (back to the UK) so made a break for it whilst he was away on business. He was scary & it was only after I left, selling all my possessions online in a hurry, boxing up the rest into tea chests for a mate in a shipping company & making my way through the Never To Be Touched section of the wine cellar with my girlfriends as parting shot, that I realised how he had messed up my brain & completely controlled me. When I got home I recieved an email from him to say I was ugly, worthless & nothing without him. Urgh! B@stard!!

@JPie They were 'investment' wines. I didn't even read the labels. Bloody delicious, if I recall!!
Well done!

Why???, The diamonds were too small?I was terrible, I couldn’t say no to people. I’m a people pleaser. So, much to my embarrassment I said yes 3 times and 3 times had to give back the engagement ring. Oops.
My mother told me I wasn’t allowed to start a collection.Why???, The diamonds were too small?
I proposed to about a dozen ladies here and so far none of them said YES!
