When one decides to propose to their partner, they are usually positive that the partner will say yes. Only that this has not been the case for a number of people. This led to disappointments and tears due to the humiliation of a proposal that was rejected.

Here are sixteen instances where a marriage proposal never ended as was expected.

1. A No at a coworker’s party

The worst place one can think of proposing is at a coworker’s event. Unless one knows the answer would be yes, the stakes are too high to make such a move blindly. Imagine how this Redditor faced his coworkers thereafter, and you know one goes to work five days a week.

From this Reddit thread

2. Rejected six times

Getting rejected once can be very painful. Now, an individual got rejected six times every time they asked for their lover to marry them. How they went back to asking the same question over and over again even after multiple rejections is baffling. But maybe it’s one of the things people do for love.

From this Reddit thread

3. She rejected the proposal Unknowingly

When one is sick, the last thing one would expect to come their way is a marriage proposal. When her boyfriend brought a ring to her hospital bed, she did not realize it was a marriage proposal until it was too late.

From this Reddit thread

4. Proposal turned down at a party

When one proposes to someone they would want t spend their whole life together, the last thing they expect is a rejection. This guy was not only rejected by his girlfriend but he was rejected at a party in front of friends and coworkers.

From this Reddit thread

5. Proposal rejected in an arena full of people

After winning an amateur bodybuilding contest, cheering and as celebrations were going on as this man stood with his lover in the arena. To him, this seemed like a perfect moment to propose. He went down on one knee and as all eyes were on them, the woman said no.

From this Reddit thread

6. Too young to get married

After coming from deployment, his boyfriend proposed to her. She was only nineteen, and though she could see the loneliness in his eyes, she had to say no.

From this Reddit thread

7. She refused to be his plan B

A guy proposed to a girl he had known for some time after experiencing heartbreak. The woman he had actually loved, rejected him so he decided to settle for a woman he thought would be available and she refused.

From this Reddit thread

8. Rejection at a concert with 10k people

Public proposals are only good when the answer is yes. However, a “no” in front of ten thousand people will not only leave this mass of people cringing but, it will also leave the one who proposed seriously heartbroken.

From this Reddit thread

9. Girlfriend wanted to leave the stage

The boyfriend had waited for this day at the horse show to propose. When the girl saw the boyfriend getting the ring, she wanted to leave the stage. Only that they could not let her. It must have been painful to watch.

From this Reddit thread

10. Proposed while drunk

Though they had lived together for seven years, the boyfriend was not yet ready to make their union official. One day on a plane, the girlfriend was drunk and popped the question. He said no.

From this Reddit thread

11. Proposal for the swimming pool

Though some people would not mind a simple proposal, others would want their proposal to be done specially. This woman rejected a proposal done in the pool.

From this Reddit thread

12. She was not yet ready

It seemed perfect to propose on a cruise during dinner in front of people. However, the lady was not ready and said no.

From this Reddit thread

13. Proposal came too soon

Her boyfriend proposed a few months into dating. The girlfriend found this move to be too soon and said no.

From this Reddit thread

14. A “No” on vacation

The guy probably planned the trip for the sole purpose of proposing to his girl. Seemed like he was sure the girl would say yes, only for her to reject the proposal before even seeing the ring.

From this Reddit thread

15. A “no” in a planned restaurant setting

After asking the server to insert the ring into a breadstick and eventually popping the question, the lady rejected the proposal. The whole lunch session thereafter must have been very awkward.

From this Reddit thread

Rejecting a marriage proposal publicly can be so painful to the one who proposed, and cringe to anyone watching. There are reasons why people reject a proposal. It is probably better to find out if you are on the same page before you propose.
