Man Tries to Run Over Woman Who Refuses To Marry Him

Sometimes you just know that they are the one...


Excerpts italicized:

A Whittier man has allegedly tried to run down his ex-girlfriend in a car after she refused his wedding proposal.


The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that Francisco Hernandez was spotted carrying a bouquet of flowers while walking down the street after the incident.


Sheriff's Lt. Andrew Berg says the 22-year-old was charged with assault with a deadly weapon.


The proposal took place Thursday afternoon at the Burger Stop.


After the woman said no, Hernandez allegedly drove onto the sidewalk, through bushes and into the restaurant parking lot, narrowly missing the woman. He'd written "Stacy Will You Marry Me" on the car's back window.


He was later picked up while fleeing on foot

When do you know that the one you are with is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with?

If you love the other so much as to want to get married, then could you also be capable of hurting them as such? Would it be called into question whether or not this was really love? Wouldn't you want to protect the one you love from harm?


We have perhaps grown to see relationships (like marriage) as a primarily self-serving one. So concerned with how the partner makes us feel, we have perhaps lost sight of the inherently selfless nature of love. If we truly cared about the other more than our own selves, would we have fewer relationship problems? Would the divorce rate be lower? 


Feeling entitled to so much in a relationship can often (if not mostly) doom them to failure right from the beginning.


I would not think that he really loved her at all if he was capable of trying to hurt her in such a way...


Although, wouldn't the love of your life at least deserve to be hit with a nice car? Maybe a BMW :o)
