Blueyes2791 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 My gf and I talked about what we want for our future. Like do you see yourself getting married do you want kids etc. she was telling me that she was getting a lot of marriage reels on Instagram. Well her friend forwarded me a reel that said you should propose. I see that it was forwarded so I'm guessing it was from my gf. What do I do ? How do I confront her on this? How do I respond to the friend?
basil67 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I have so many questions before I can answer! The first thing I notice is that you want to confront your girlfriend over this. Now the definition of confront is "come face to face with (someone) with hostile or argumentative intent". Are you really this angry, or did you mean you want to discuss it? Is it the woman from this thread or someone else? Do you want to get married? If so, what kind of timeline are you thinking of? Does your gf agree? How old are you and how old is your girlfriend? Are the two of you at odds over timing? The only answer I can give you at this point is about your response to the friend. The most obvious response is to leave them on read.

We haven't discussed timeline of when to get married so timeline hasn't been discussed
basil67 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Cool! So you're having a chat with your girlfriend. Is the discussion about timing, or about the sending of reels?

The friend thing is a non issue, I wouldn't read too much into it. Especially in more traditional circles, it's common for friends to nudge the dude into proposing (even without input from the prospective bride!). Obviously don't listen to them, but also don't assume that your gf is being passive aggressive or anything because she might not have been involved in it.
