Input: My coworker and I were talking about how after work she was going to go cut a friends hair because he was going to propose and he wanted to look sharp. I'm laughing and smiling along, happy for the guy, marrying someone is a big thing after all, when she drops the bomb that hes going to go ask the parents for permission first.

I literally said "Oh..." and kinda froze, yay? For asking like the woman had to be given away like a piece of meat or something? Shes her own person why does he have to ask if shes allowed to make that decision? I really dont get that...

My coworker looked at me like I had two heads and repeated the "going to ask permission " part and emphasized it, like I should be jumping for joy he was doing it and I just...wasnt? I just ended up saying that I was glad things were going well for him and I hoped she said yes, bypassing the parents bit.

Am i the asshole here for not being excited over him asking permission to ask someone to marry him?

not being excited someone was asking parents for permission to marry their daughter
