Edit: thanks to all pointing out that this line doesn’t apply in your locale. I get it. But it does (I’m reliably informed) apply in the U.K., which is where the poster - and the commenter - were. Doesn’t change the fact I found the phrasing funny.
So for anyone confused the original post went something like this:
Basically this guy had a girlfriend but he’d been cheating on her with a coworker. He bought a ring planning on proposing to his coworker but on New Year’s Eve he went out with his actual girlfriend, got drunk, and proposed to her. Now he’s asking for advice on how to unpropose to her and get the ring back so he can propose to his coworker.
He also posted an update later saying he decided just to break up with his coworker and go through with marrying the girlfriend and not tell her about the affair. So I’m sure that’ll go well.
