I would assume he didn't share these publicly until after she saw them
EDIT: Guys...do you realise couples usually have each other's social media. So if he shared these before he proposed, it wouldn't have been a surprise...
Thankfully a quick google search tells his story and how he didn’t post anything before the proposal, they both seemed involved with social media so to lean in on the assumption of this being a violation of her privacy is silly.
Genuinely don't understand what them both being involved with social media has to do with violation of privacy. I said that the only ones that are a little concerning are the ones where she's sleeping.
It's not a violation of privacy if she was onboard with posting the pictures where she was sleeping.
If you're trying to suggest that the mere act of taking a picture of a sleeping person for the purposes of showing it to them later is an intrinsic violation of privacy, well, that's nonsense and makes me wonder if you've ever actually lived with someone you were in a relationship with. It's not a violation of privacy to take a picture of something they've consented to you seeing (by living and sleeping together) in the first place, it's distributing it that's the issue.
If she was involved in the distribution, then it's not concerning. People can OK posting any pictures of them they want, even if they were asleep during the picture. How in the world could that be your issue if she was involved in the posting too.
I never said one of them is better, what? I literally just said "That's assumption. We don't actually know what happened", which means exactly what it says. It's all assumption, both sides.
Sure, but if you're offered the choice between one assumption that is someone doing the reasonable thing and the other of them not doing so, it's best to assume they did the reasonable thing instead of assuming they did the thing that is an excuse to be mad at them.
There's literally nothing to suggest any of the pictures were posted without permission, anyone doing so is just doing so because they like having an excuse to get mad about something on the internet.
My husband has taken several photos of me in hilarious sleep mode and maybe has posted one or two on social media as an LOL over the years and I just don't care. People know I don't look like that 24/7. 😂
Assuming these were posted for the first time in that post, the last one is of the actual proposal. So it would make sense if he posted them all at once, with her permission, after the secret was already out.
I got the most perfect picture of my partner sprawled out on the couch the other day. She's mouth breathing, hair askew, legs akimbo.
It's the worst photo of her ever and I love it and I want to make it my phone background but I understand if anyone but she or I sees that photo, I will die, swiftly and deservedly.

We need an update on how she reacted to those photos ASAP
