Would Sue for sure?

The next table over, there is a very confused person who is still not engaged, wondering what happened to their plan.

I didn't know what Sobe is, why is ddg saying it's dead?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sobe is basically dead.

It went from selling several lines of drinks you could find at grocery stores in several countries and basically all convince stores, to only selling knock-off VitaminWater through Amazon in the USA.

It still is for sale, but it's pretty hard to find. Major stores don't usually carry it. I only see it in little local convenience stores around here. I still love the pina colada one.

I mean ... As long as communication and intent are clear in both directions, being willing to get married isn't a red flag. My now wife wanted to get married a long time before I did and made that clear. We are now happily married with a child and both happy with that development because she made sure I knew what she wanted and I only disagreed with the timeline.

If this post is true, I'd say it's a good thing, at least without any context. Now the poster knows that

  • if they do plan to propose, they don't need to worry (which should be a prerequisite to any marriage proposal)
  • if they don't plan to or hadn't even considered proposal, they can start thinking about that
  • if they don't want to get married at all, they can start discussing that with their girlfriend (and yes, get out of the relationship if their life goals aren't compatible)

Sir this is r/relationshipadvice, the only answer we can give is run, burn your life down, and fake your own death.

My (32M) fiancee (30F) said yes to my proposal! How do I make sure the wedding planning goes smoothly?

Are you sure you want to go through with this? It sounds like you're having doubts already, and it doesn't sound like you're compatible in that case.

The fictional usernames are just beautiful.

Delete the gym, hit the lawyer, Facebook up. Hold up... This seems like a bad plan.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (3 children)

if they don't plan to or hadn't even considered proposal, they can start thinking about that

And if they were expecting to organically come to this conclusion through shared experience, that’s off the table.

[–] toynbee 6 points 7 months ago

I wouldn't say it's lost. If the relationship has good communication, the poster can simply explain to their girlfriend what happened. Hopefully, this can then just be a funny story to tell, perhaps at their eventual potential wedding.

The experience can be taken by those in the relationship to not mean anything other than that the girlfriend is not opposed to marriage. The poster can choose to not discuss their feelings on marriage, other than that this was unintentional and they're not ready yet. Then the relationship can develop as it would normally.

However, it's true that a lot of what I'm suggesting depends on the details of OP's relationship. Not knowing them, their situation, their relationship or their views on marriage, it is not impossible that this could cause problems.

I'd say a fluke occurrence with a beverage cap is almost the definition of a shared, organic experience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

It very much sounds like the girlfriend had arrived at that point organically before they did, though. If she was able to say yes to the bottlecap so easily, and they hadn't even put thought into it yet. So it sounds like coming to that point through shared experience was already off the table.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

It’s not about the girl being a red flag. It’s about the timing being screwed up, permanently and unfixably, and all the emotional tension that’s going to result.
