My boyfriend faked a proposal, so I broke up with him.
Me (24F) have been dating my boyfriend Andrew (26M) for 5 years now, we’ve had a healthy and stable relationship, up until today. Andrew has always been a ‘prankster’ and make jokes with me all the time, and I do it to him too, but today he took it way too far.
In the morning he woke me up at 7am and told me to wake up because he wanted to take me to the spa, I was pretty surprised cause it wasn’t a special day or anything, but I was all in for it.
At the spa he told me how he wanted to go to a fancy restaurant after we were done at the spa, and that he was paying. Of course I agreed as we hadn’t been out together in a long time.
We then got to the restaurant, we had a beautiful and romantic dinner and just a nice time in general, we were talking about a house we were planning to move in to and chitchatted about other stuff too.
After around 40 minutes Andrew stood up and got on his knees and took out a box out of his pocket, my heart stopped beating, I hadn’t even predicted this.
We have never talked about proposal before but I also thought it was a great time now. He did a speech about how I was the most beautiful girl in the world and how he wanted to live with me forever and ended with “will you marry me my princess?”. Of course I said yes!
Seconds later all that exitment turned into horror, he opened the small box I expected he put the ring in and in it was a note saying “you’ve been pranked!!!” and Andrew started laughing hysterically.
He continued with “baby this was just a prank! I’m not ready at all to marry you yet!”. He was leaning in to hug me but I gave him the biggest slap ever with tears streaming down my face. I just told him I can’t do this anymore and broke up with him.
I am now sitting in my bed crying and writing this and I don’t know what to do. He’s been texting and calling me but I haven’t responded because I feel so sad, betrayed and mostly angry. I thought this was going to be one of the best days of my life.
What should I do?
