I figured out my boyfriends proposal plans and he knows
My (26F) boyfriend (26M) who I have been with for over 6 years planned an amazing proposal at my parents house. It was everything I have dreamed of. It’s supposed to happen next weekend.
Today, we were having a conversation after work about going to my parents for that weekend, and I told him I didn’t want to go since I just got back two days ago from a two week long trip with my mom. Since I just spent a lot of time with her, I wanted to have a weekend with just him hanging out at home (he works several weekends out of the month). He kept being persistent about how we should go and how he told my parents that we would come stay soon to go out on the boat, since they live on the lake. And me being a very hardheaded person, said “why do you even want to go so bad? Are you proposing or something?” Totally not thinking that was the case since he said it would be later in the year. We have talked about it a lot recently, and I know he just went to ask my parents blessing (he was open about that because they live two hours away and he took the day off in the middle of the week, I would have questioned him because I’m nosey and annoying). Well, after I said that it was all over his face and I just knew. I instantly was in shock and felt so bad and he got up and went to the other room. He thought someone slipped up and told me at first but I assured him I simply figured it out and didn’t think it would be this soon (which I am happy about). He’s very upset, and I totally ruined that moment he planned so hard on and the element of surprise. I’m so crushed for him and for me. I can’t believe I said something, I should have just kept my mouth shut but I didn’t and this is my reality now.
We have always talked about how surprised I would be bc we have been together for so long, and two weeks away I ruined it. Like a selfish dumbass.
How do we move forward? What can I do? What should we do? I feel so bad, and this feels like the biggest mistake I have made in this relationship. He was so excited and it really was the perfect proposal, and all our family and friends knew bc they were going to come and have dinner afterwards. I’m lost and in shock.
TLDR: girlfriend found out boyfriends proposal plans, he is very upset and she is very regretful, advice needed on how to move forward
