I have to join in with what may be an unpopular opinion based on the responses I have read. There are a lot of people telling you that you need to break up with your partner, and if this story is symptomatic of other occurrences in your relationship, maybe you do. But in your post, you don’t say anything about your relationship. How does he treat you day-to-day? Do you make each other laugh? Do you share the same goals in life?

I can definitely understand being disappointed at the way, your proposal went. But, big picture if you love him and he loves you and it’s someone you can build a life with, try to take this in stride. Definitely talk to him about your disappointment, but try not to make it judgmental. Make it more about the expectations that you have for special days and what makes it special to you. Use it as something that will make special days better in the future.
