I'm at that age when everyone is getting engaged. Every week it seems like another couple are announcing their engagement on Facebook. Most of these announcements are very sweet but every so often I will see one that says "Guess he finally got tired of our family asking when he would do it", "Took him long enough" or "Guess he ran out of excuses for not doing it". These tend to be the same women who are always posting "funny" comments about how useless their partners are.
I know every relationship is different, but it would never have even crossed my mind to write something like that when I got engaged. It just seems like using what should be a very happy moment to take a passive aggressive dig at your partner. Am I just missing the joke?

AIBU?
Or are these engagement announcements a little odd?
