I accidentally proposed to my boyfriend during an argument, and this man pulled out a ring before I could take it back. 😭

Me: I'm done with you.

Him: Okay, babe.

Me: No, I'm actually DONE.

Him: Okay.

Me: You're not even going to ask me to stay?

Him: Do you want me to ask?

Me: Obviously!

Him: Okay. Please stay.

Me: Don't do that. You're making me more mad.

Him: I'm trying to follow instructions.

Me: You know what? I should've married someone else.

Him: Who?

Me: I DON'T KNOW. SOMEBODY WHO ACTUALLY FIGHTS FOR ME.

Him: So you want to get married?

Me: That's not what I said.

Him: You literally said you should've married someone else.

Me: You're so annoying.

Him: Noted.

I grabbed my purse and headed for the door.

Him: Where are you going?

Me: To find a husband with emotional intelligence.

Him: Can I come?

Me: NO.

Him: Okay. Text me when you find him.

I turned around.

Me: You're not taking this seriously!

Him: I am. I'm just trying not to laugh.

Me: I hate you.

Him: You said that yesterday too.

Me: AND I MEANT IT YESTERDAY.

He suddenly reached into his jacket.

Him: Actually, I have something for you.

Me: If it's another apology gift, keep it.

He opened a little box.

A ring.

I stopped breathing.

Me: What is that?

Him: A ring.

Me: I CAN SEE THAT. WHY DO YOU HAVE A RING?

Him: I've been carrying it for three weeks.

Me: THREE WEEKS?!

Him: I was waiting for the right moment.

Me: And you chose an argument?

Him: Apparently, you did. I was just adapting.

I started laughing and crying at the same time.

Me: Are you seriously proposing to me right now?

Him: No. I'm asking if you'd like to marry me. There's a difference.

Me: You're ridiculous.

Him: Is that a yes?

Me: Ask properly.

He got down on one knee.

Him: Will you marry me, my favorite headache?

Me: That's your proposal?

Him: I had a whole speech. You interrupted it.

Me: YES, YOU IDIOT!

He slipped the ring onto my finger.

Then he stood up and kissed my forehead.

Him: So we're not looking for another husband anymore?

Me: Don't push it.

Him: Understood.

Me: Can we get married next year?

Him: I thought you hated me.

Me: I contain multitudes.

Him: I love you.

Me: Love you too.

Him: Still mad?

Me: A little.

Him: Hungry?

Me: VERY.

He picked up his keys.

Him: Come on, future wife.

Me: And you're paying.

Him: Obviously...............

My husband walked into our bedroom, found me in bed with another man, and the first thing he did was ask me if I'd eaten dinner.

I swear, I wasn't prepared for what happened next.

I'd been married to him for 6 years.

He was the kind of man who'd cancel meetings just to attend my doctor's appointments, send me money without asking, and never let me sleep angry.

Honestly, i think he started becoming boring, being too good to me.

I started entertaining attention from another man I met at the gym.

At first, it was just texting.

Then lunch dates.

Then hotel visits whenever my husband travelled for work.

I wasn't even being careful anymore.

One Friday, my husband told me he'd be away for two nights.

I invited the other man over.

We were upstairs when I heard the front door open.

Him: "Babe?"

My heart literally stopped.

I told the guy to hide, but it was too late.

My husband walked into the bedroom.

Husband: "What's going on here?"

Me: "Baby, I can explain."

He looked at the man, then looked at me.

Husband: "Get dressed. Both of you."

The other man grabbed his clothes and rushed downstairs.

My husband didn't chase him. Didn't threaten him. Didn't even raise his voice.

He just stood there.

Me: "Please, baby. It wasn't what you think."

Husband: "Really? Then what should I think?"

Me: "I made a mistake."

Husband: "How long?"

Me: "It just happened."

Husband: "HOW LONG?"

I started crying. ............

My daughter asked me something at dinner that made the whole table go quiet.

"Mom, why do people say women are weak when every single person on this planet came out of a woman?"

Her dad laughed.

"That's different, sweetheart."

She looked at him and said, "How?"

He put his fork down.

She wasn't done.

"Dad, when you were born, somebody carried you for months, couldn't sleep properly, went through pain you can't even imagine, and still held you like you were the most precious thing in the world."

My husband tried to explain.

"Well, your mom did all that because she loves you."

She shook her head.

"No, Dad. I'm saying women were doing something extraordinary before the world even knew our names."

Then she looked at me. ...........

I was at a friend's birthday dinner when this guy started explaining how he could tell what kind of woman a lady was just by looking at her.

Him: "Women ain't complicated. You just gotta know what buttons to push."

Me: "Oh really? You got a manual?"

Him: "Pretty much. Some want money, some want attention, some want vacations. Everybody got a weakness."

Me: "And what if she don't want any of that?"

Him: "Girl, stop. Every woman wants something."

I laughed.

Two weeks later, he met a woman at a charity auction.

She was wearing a simple black dress, no designer logos, no flashy jewelry.

Him: "You look expensive."

Her: "That's a funny way to say hello."

Him: "Let me take you shopping tomorrow. Pick anything you want."

Her: "No thanks."

Him: "Dinner at the most expensive place in town?"

Her: "I already ate."

Him: "You always this difficult?"

Her: "Only when a man thinks spending money is a personality."

He laughed like she was flirting.

Then he noticed her talking to the event organizer.

Him: "You know the owner?"

Her: "No. I funded the scholarship program we're launching tonight."

Him: "Wait, you funded WHAT?"

Organizer: "Ms. Parker, the board is ready for your approval. We just need your signature."

He stood there holding his champagne glass.

Him: "So you're like... rich rich?"

She looked at him.

Her: "Is that the only thing you heard?"

Him: "I'm just saying, I could've treated you better if I knew."

She smiled.

Her: "That's exactly why you won't be treating me at all."

He tried following her.

Him: "Can I at least get your number?" .............

My man once drove 3 hours just to see me, and I made him sit in his car for 40 minutes because I wanted to see how badly he wanted me.

When I finally came downstairs, he jumped out, hugged me and said, "Baby, I missed you so damn much."

I pulled away.

"That's it? You drove all this way and that's all you got?"

He laughed. "Girl, come here. I've been thinking about you all day."

I folded my arms.

"Why do I always gotta ask you to show me you want me? Why can't you just act obsessed with your woman?"

He looked confused.

"Are you serious right now? I skipped lunch just to get here early."

I rolled my eyes.

"That's not my problem. I want a man who can't get enough of me."

He went quiet.

Then he said something that actually made me mad.

"I want you too. But I shouldn't have to keep proving it by abandoning everything else in my life."

I told him he was making excuses.

He got back in his car, rolled down the window and said: ..........
