My girlfriend (26 F) Sarah and I (26 M) have been dating for a few years now. Our parents are fine with the relationship, and there were basically no issues at all.

I asked her hand out for marriage today, and she said yes. She appeared excited enough for it, and then the conversation turned to what date we should perform the wedding in. I told her that we can fix a date after consulting both of our parents, and she appeared surprised.

She asked me what I want to consult the parents for, that we can just fix the date and inform them about it in that we’re getting married that day. I told her I absolutely wasn’t going to do that, and said it’s not as if they’d refuse it anyway. They’ve already approved the relationship, but that it’s important to consult them before setting a date.

She attempted to convince me to just decide it ourselves as it was “our life”, but when I refused point-black to entertain her, she accused me of being a “Momma’s boy” and that I can’t think for myself. She got up and left, and hasn’t contacted me since. It’s been a few hours now.

AITA?
