A man who recently proposed to his girlfriend is being called the most unromantic lover ever. See why.

A Reddit user marrymonay shared a post on the site about her boyfriend's proposition and how it went so unromantic.
The 24-year-old set the scene, saying: "He walks in the door from work and tells me about how his friend got married at city hall today, so he started looking into some things."
So far, so good. But then this happens.
"He sets his laptop out on the table and shows me the spreadsheet he made about how much additional income us getting married would bring in for him, and explained that there was really no risk involved in case of divorce because we could just sign prenups."
"And he was like 'so, do you want to go get married? We can do it literally anytime at the city hall.'
Unsurprisingly, mentioning 'divorce' and 'prenups' in the same breath used to propose did not have the intended effect.
"And then I realized what he was actually asking. I asked him if he was asking me to marry him and he said yes - and I told him no, and so it ensued from there."
With her disappointment tangible, the lady goes on to explain how "the issue isn't the lack of fancy proposal", but rather the mention of divorce and her value as a financial asset.
As for the future, she's hanging on in there.
"Hopefully I can find a way to explain to him that he made me feel like he just wants the extra money each month, not a real marriage."
While spreadsheets are undeniably useful, we hope this is the last time it's uttered in the same sentence as "let's get married".
