Woman slammed for ‘ridiculous’ reason she broke up with her boyfriend

A content creator has gone viral after revealing the reason why she broke up with her boyfriend of two years – and it’s left many divided.

A woman has gone viral after admitting she dumped her boyfriend of two years because he didn’t propose.

Bela Marie, a “self-worth” influencer, revealed that she ended her relationship after her partner failed to pop the question on their second anniversary.

But side-eyeing social media sceptics say her ex “dodged a bullet” by not popping the big question.

“On our first date, I told him he had two years to propose,” began Ms Marie, in the closed-captions of a trending tell-all with over 10 million TikTok views.

“On our two-year anniversary, I broke up with him.”

He missed her deadline. Now the relationship has flatlined.

However, rather than applauding the no-nonsense siren for sticking to her guns, cyber critics are labelling Marie “ridiculous,” “wild” and a walking “red flag,” arguing that a two-year romance is too short to make a lifetime commitment.

Her haters aren’t totally wrong.

Only a mere 30 per cent of couples date for two years or less before getting engaged, per a recent survey of 8000 fiancés, via The Knot.

A whopping 53 per cent of lovebirds agree to get hitched after two to five years together, according to the wedding experts, while a slim 17 per cent wait six years or more.

It’s a serious step that deserves serious consideration — especially right now, when divorce rates are skyrocketing.

And Marie seems to agree.

“THANK GOD I did not marry that man,” she captioned her viral video, in part.

“On our two-year anniversary, after he flew me out to Catalina, surprised me with a suite and a beautiful boat around the island to celebrate ‘our love,’ and planned a beautiful long weekend trip — he did not propose,” continued the brunette. “So l broke up with him and ended our relationship.”

“There were so many reasons I should have left prior, but I decided to stay — and this was the tipping point,” Ms Marie ranted.

“I’m blessed every day that this man is no longer in my life, and I’m proud of myself for sticking by my gut and what I told him on our first date.”

With her virtual megaphone, she went on to encourage women not to “waste time … on the WRONG PERSON.”

“After two years of being together, he was still uncertain about marrying me.

“I wasn’t going to wait around to change his mind, beg for him to help me achieve my goals, or work harder out of this idea that I needed to ‘prove my worth’.

“He didn’t make a move. So I did — I left,” she said. “Consistency without commitment is just convenience.”

“And I’m around for a man that commits. Not a boy that wants to waste my time.”

Women in agreement with Ms Marie’s steadfastness saluted her with support.

“Don’t move your boundaries for anyone, ever,” cheered a commenter, punctuating her approval of Ms Marie’s move with the clapping emoji.

“Planning a beautiful trip like that for your anniversary and not proposing is cruel,” another noted.

“I stayed … for 10 years & he still was unsure,” confessed a separate woman. “We deserve better.”

“If someone doesn’t know after 2 YEARS, run,” an equally caring ally advised. “So proud of you.”

“I love this generation of woman leaving at the drop of a hat and not falling for sunken cost fallacy,” chimed another. “It’s amazing!”
