Butthis doesnt giveTeen Momfans a right to harass Cory and Taylor onlineabout their relationship status.

If Cory feels pushed by fans, he may delay proposing even further so that it doesnt feel forced.
It could also cause the couple to rethink their relationship.

It should be done for personal reasons, not performative ones, like to silence critics on social media.
