I was kicked out of house for asking my girlfriend to marry me
Yesterday I asked my girlfriend for her hand in marriage, after 2 years of dating, and she accepted. When I got home and told my parents about it, they got furious, and said that I couldn’t have done it, said she will be a burden all my life, and said other things that I prefer not to repeat. All this just because she is blind.
I’m not a child, I’m 25 years old, I work hard and get paid well, I only lived with them for convenience. I’m absolutely sure of what I’m doing, she is the woman of my life, she’s beautiful, happy, she follows the same principles that I do and it’s with her that I want to share my life.
The fact that she can’t see doesn’t annul the thousands of qualities she has. But when I told this to my parents all I got was “get out of this house and only come back when you come to your senses”.
I did exactly as they asked, gathered my clothes, got my computer and left. I’m staying at a friend’s house until I find a place to rent
We are going to get married, we are going to build a beautiful family and no prejudice will stop us. I am not angry with my parents, but I don’t want any contact with them until they apologize for what they said, not to me but to my fiancée, and I want them to know that no one will disrespect or hurt my future wife, I will never let this happen.
Netizens’ comments
- Congratulations for the future wedding. I’m sorry your family is so ableist and reacted that way. You’ll be better without them.
- Congrats on the engagement. Hopefully you guys have a long and happy marriage.
- Congratulations, your parents are trash if they’re knocking your future mrs over being visually impaired. Don’t pass on their last name.
- Congrats!!
Also I just find it funny people wait till people get engaged to complain about people’s partners.. like welp too late. Weirdos.
