Just Ask Georgia: 9/25/2024

Georgia, I have a question,

My (32f) fiance Peter (30m) had arranged a candle-lit dinner in a hotel room. There were flowers, rose peddles, and music. It was my favorite dinner and my favorite dessert. Peter was in a tuxedo, and I was wearing a dress. That evening was amazing.

While I was eating, my IBS started acting up. I ran to the bathroom. It was mortifying, but I was comfortable enough with Peter to allow him to come in. I apologized for ruining our evening while on the toilet, and he said it was okay. I felt he wanted to ask me to marry him the whole evening.

I told him I loved him, and he said I love you too. I told him, "I’m sure you’ll take care of me in sickness and in health." That comment made Peter smile, and he got down on one knee. I didn’t care that this was the situation; I was so happy to say yes. I felt like he wouldn’t have asked that evening if I hadn’t said the "in sickness and in health" comment.

I told my best friends the truth. They said it was weird, creepy, and a jerk move on his part. I explained that he likely would have put it off if I hadn’t meant the health comment. They said I was desperate and that I should have some respect for myself.

My friend said that if I thought Peter would ask another time, I should have let him ask another time. Before talking to them, I thought it was the sweetest proposal story. Now I feel like a jerk who caused my amazing fiance to have a terrible story. What are your thoughts on this poopy situation?

Potty Proposal

Dear Potty,

Better a man who proposes while you’re not at your best than one who makes a big show of it and then skips at the first sign of illness!

I think it was the most romantic proposal ever!! You know he’s in it no matter how much sh** you two go through. You can pile up the memories together and your love will never go in the toilet. It wipes away any proposal done with candles and flowers. You two will be together through thick and thin and will never pi** away those chances to show each other love.

Alright...I’m done with the silliness. But truly, congratulations on a beautiful memory, and good luck in your marriage.

With love, Georgia
