Woman stands up for sister after her boyfriend embarrassed her with a fake proposal in public

Imagine dreaming of your proposal and getting it, only to realize it was just a prank. The once beautiful moment, which felt exceptional, could suddenly feel like a cruel joke, leaving you heartbroken and overwhelmed. Something similar happened to a woman whose boyfriend pulled out the ultimate prank by fake proposing to her in front of all his friends. Although the woman was severely hurt, she barely reacted to the incident. However, her sister, who goes by u/miadawnx on Reddit, didn't let it slide and took the perfect revenge weeks later when the man joined them for a family dinner. 

The author began her Reddit post by discussing the couple's contrasting personalities. While she described her sister as quiet and reserved, the woman shared that her boyfriend was just the opposite—loud and extroverted. "A few weeks ago, my sister came to me in tears because her fiancé had 'pranked' her in front of his friends by pretending to propose in an elaborate setup, only to laugh in her face and say, 'Just kidding, babe! You really thought I was serious?' His friends all laughed while she stood there, humiliated," the author revealed. Later, when her sister confronted her fiancé, he claimed that he had an actual proposal planned, and this was simply a joke that went too far. 

It had only been some time since the vindictive stunt that the man was called for a big family dinner at the author's house. He was super chill and behaved as if nothing had happened. "While chatting, someone asked when they were getting married, and before my sister could answer, he smirked and said, 'Guess she’ll just have to wait and see, huh?'" she revealed. This was the end for the author as she could no longer control her emotions and decided to take matters into her own hands. "I smiled sweetly and said, 'Oh, is this like how she had to wait for that hilarious fake proposal in front of all your friends? That was so funny, right? Let’s all have a good laugh about it now,'" the author shared. 

While the author's parents strongly criticized the man, her sister wasn't happy with the confrontation. "He left shortly after, and now my sister is mad at me for 'embarrassing him and making things worse.' I told her he embarrassed her first and deserved to be called out. My parents are backing me, but my sister says I’ve ruined things for her," the author concluded. Meanwhile, reacting to a Reddit post, u/engineeringok1885 commented, "She should not marry this a****** even if he asks. He is cruel and a very small man to do that to her. Your sister needs to know she can do so much better."

Similarly, u/cherrynest wrote, "Absolutely. A 'prank' like that isn’t just immature. It’s straight-up emotional cruelty. If he thinks humiliating the person he claims to love is funny, what else is he capable of? She deserves someone who actually respects her, not someone who treats her like a punchline." u/bellafernn shared, "His 'joke' wasn’t funny; it was cruel and manipulative. He disrespected her feelings and then tried to play it off like it was no big deal. Your sister may be upset now, but you stood up for her when she couldn't stand up for herself. Sometimes, people need a dose of their own medicine to understand how hurtful their actions are. Your parents agree, and that says a lot."
