If a man proposes to his girlfriend, and she says no, is the relationship over? (Page 2)

[abc3643]

Not necessarily at all.
Plenty of times, he asks again later or SHE asks and they get married.
Sometimes, the time just isn't right for one of them.

[Mamaganja]

Mine wasn’t over 🤷🏽‍♀️ he understood that I didn’t want to get married just because we had a child together.. it’s been two years since we had her and now of he asked me, I’d say yes..

[LonewolfMeme]

hope he does

[Mamaganja]

@lonewolfmeme Me too 😭 luckily when he did ask me it wasn’t a big grand gesture that would’ve made him embarrassed. He pretty much just stormed into our room one day and said “will you marry me” all serious and stuff lol and that’s when I told him I don’t want to get married yet and because I was pregnant and it’s “the thing to do”

[LonewolfMeme]

yea my boyfriend claims to have a surprise for me when i turn 21 and told my mother, won't tell me or his family and i can't talk about the future or he dodges the question so i'm confused.

[AbleLearner]

Definitely. I'm not wasting any more time with her., especially if she turned me down in public. I pretty much only date for marriage anyway.

[Hannah_98]

I think it would depend on the circumstances. If she just doesn’t like him that much to make a commitment, then definitely.

Either way, I could see it making moving forward a little awkward.

[Tommy2017]

When the response is a definite NO, of course the relationship is over. What would you be still doing together.
But if the response is LET ME THINK ABOUT IT, there might still be hope, so no it ain't over yet.

[hellionthesagereborn]

Yeah, in my opinion their is no relationship because they have already signified that I am not a long term partner in their eyes (unless they have a very good explanation as to why of course).

[JackSmy]

For me, YES!! DONE, and leaving!
If I thought it that wrong, and she said no, then I don't know here like I thought, so it won't work, and we are done! Good, in a way, though, so no divorce!

[purplepoppy]

You shouldn't do surprise proposal for that very reason. People need to be clear what they want from the start

[TheBootyChest]

It sucks that it happens, but it would be hard to want to stay if she doesn't have a valid reason to say no.

[pleasestopthis]

Depends on the reason to say no and the way of rejecting. If she's 100% against the marriage and/or gives harsh rejection then it's over.
If she wants to marry but needs more time (for whatever reason) there may be hope.

[PondyPand]

I'd say it would depend on what reason for no there is, and probably how much he values his ego over his partner.

[cherrycharm]

No I dnt think so.. Depends on the reason may be that was not the right time for her to bring it up and for the man it was. So depends.. Need to talk it out.

[Stan83]

Usually it’s over. But sometimes you can talk about and understand if it’s a matter of time or different vision of the relationship.

[HawkPerception]

It is most of the time, but everyone sees things differently so it could work out still. Chances are very low though. I know I'd be done after they say no.

[motownplayer2000]

For me personally. It's how she responds. If I do it in a public place and she embarrasses me because she felt uncomfortable. Probably, if she pulls me up and tells me secretly she want to talk about it and doesn't make a scene.. then not necessarily

[Avicenna]

I personally don't think it should be, but he really needs to get a lot better at reading the tea leaves.

[Factshurt90]

Yes, she’s still debating other options. He was sold on her. Unequal love is never healthy

[StephenCF]

I always imagined it was, until I met a colleague who said no to a proposal from her boyfriend... but they are still together and happy to this day 🤷🏻‍♂️

[beldath]

If the reason is that you're not ready yet, then no. Otherwise, I would walk away.

[Mercurian_Brat]

Normally no... like maybe she's just not ready they should be able to talk about it and know what to do
