A woman sought advice on Reddit about her non-committal boyfriend who wanted to be the beneficiary of her inheritance. The disagreement arose when he learned her home, owned before they met, would go to her parents if she died. Uncomfortable tying him to her finances without marriage, she faced accusations of using marriage as a bargaining chip. Redditors suggested marriage or treating property deeds like a marriage contract.

In an update, the woman revealed her boyfriend’s proposal attempt, initially disguised as a joke about insurance. He clarified his commitment and surprised her with a ring, bought before their discussions. Despite unconventional timing, the couple decided to get married without changing property titles. Reddit reactions ranged from relief to criticism, with some finding the proposal endearing and others advocating for a more mature approach to marriage discussions.

Ultimately, the woman accepted the proposal, and the couple plans to add each other as beneficiaries without altering property titles. The unconventional proposal, though criticized by some, brought a unique twist to their relationship story.
