My (25M) girlfriend (26F) accepted my marraige proposal, but is now questioning our relationship since it wasn't anything close to her dream proposal. I'm feeling defeated and not sure that there's anything I can do to reassure her that she's special to me. How do we move past this?

Alright. I had a dream proposal. I wanted a sweet romantic proposal. Did I get it. Oh hell no.

He was being sneaky and was keeping secrets and I was convinced he was cheating. We got into a huge fight and we were telling at each other and next thing I know he was down on one knee and proposed. He explained that he was trying to figure out my ring size without me knowing, went with some female friends to check out rings, and was planning a huge proposal the next day on our anniversary. We're still happy five years later.

I think your proposal was sweet to be honest. You're suppose to love and hold in sick was and in health, right? I think it shows even more than a fancy proposal how much you love her, and I'm sorry she can't see that. I think she's stuck in the fantasy, rather than what it's really about. The two of you and you're future. That's what is rely important.
