ThatoDO1 stated; “This is by far the most unhinged marriage proposal I have ever seen. Not only is this man fighting to be the main character at someone else’s funeral, he is also taking advantage of a grieving woman who’s in no position to think this through, and putting her under pressure. Sick!”.
Skugonza 5 commented; “This is so inconsiderate and weird. So that her engagement day will be this big reminder that she also lost a loved one???? Was this man dizzy?”.
Gozielum added; “This guy is taking advantage of her vulnerability seems he is interested in the girls inheritance. This is so disrespectful. I will hit your head if you come close to me. Selfish man”.
Miranda_M indicated; “Also this is extremely manipulative considering how vulnerable this woman is and would do anything to feel an ounce of happiness”.
