Ok so... I (17) made a bet with my dad (old) to make him cry within 3 movies. It all started when I showed him and my mom a movie that came out a while ago, Look Back. Both my mom and I cried over it, but he didn't shed a tear, which got me thinking... I don't think I've seen him cry during a movie like EVER... Don't get me wrong he still liked the movie and said it DID "move him", I just need something to push him over the edge of tears, yk? What he told me It's apparently honest stories about strong friendships or true love that make him cry, also nothing like purposeful tearjerker (ex: Titanic). Any recommendations? He doesn't discriminate, so can be pretty much anything.

Btw he cried over Futurama, to be exact the part where Leela and Fry read their future together, but that's like the only example I have...

This is the first time he’s ever done this, so I don’t get why it had to be in front of me or my family. We disagree on some things politically but he never liked Trump either. AIO in our texts or reevaluating our relationship?

So my (26F) boyfriend (28M) and I have been dating for about three years. Things have been good, but I’ve been clear that I’m not ready for marriage just yet. I’ve told him I need more time to feel comfortable with such a big step.

Well, a few weeks ago, we went to a big party hosted by his family for his dad's 60th. I noticed that he was acting a little nervous but didn’t think much of it. Then, during the event, he got everyone’s attention, got down on one knee, and proposed to me in front of all his friends and family. I was completely caught off guard and panicked.

Now, I’ve heard stories about how rejecting someone in public can humiliate them, and I really didn’t want to do that to him, especially in front of everyone he cares about. So, I said yes in the moment. Everyone cheered, and he looked so happy. I felt horrible for misleading him, but I didn’t know what else to do.

After the party, on the car ride home I told him privately and explained that while I love him, I’m not ready to get married yet and that I only said yes to avoid embarrassing him in front of everyone. I thought being honest in private was the best thing to do.

He got really upset and said I’d humiliated him even more because now he has to go back and tell everyone that we’re not actually engaged. He said I should’ve just said no at the party if that’s how I felt. I feel terrible that I’ve hurt him and put him in this position, but I also feel like he put me on the spot in front of everyone without considering my feelings.

We've yet to tell his family or anyone and they keep calling and texting to give their congrats which is upsetting him even more and I'm seeing videos his friends posted online of him getting on one knee so it's pretty public now .

So, Reddit, AITA? Should I have just said no in public, or was I right to spare him the embarrassment in the moment?

Still filling out some odds and ends and getting ready to hang some art but madly and hopelessly in love with the new place already.

Title speaks for itself but anyone else had these types? It still stuns me the acclaim Detroit Become Human has with its absolutely inane writing and cliche'd everything. But interested to hear others thoughts and the insanely well received steam has to offer you just didn't get
