In general, how do you approach discussing weddings, engagements and general LIW-ness with your SO? Do you bring it up frequently, infrequently or do you tend to avoid bringing it up altogether? Assuming he already knows how you feel, of course.
I ask because- as NewEnglandLady once so perfectly put it- I''m ''overcooked''. My 26th birthday is in December and yesterday I realized how quickly that is approaching. It''s not an age thing, but a combination of factors, and franky I can''t imagine staying with him past that with no ring. I''ll snap.
However, his best friend told me awhile ago that SO told him he was going to propose late summer/early fall. And like I''ve said before, he really wants the proposal itself to be a surprise (not that it really will be anyway, at this point--but I digress).
I don''t want to sit down and have a heavy discussion about where the hell things are going if he is in fact close to doing something. But at the same time, I''m just not happy anymore and it''s really taking a toll on me/us. I already have some serious concerns over whether I will be able to get past these feelings of resentment. Like, I feel as though I don''t even care about what he wants as far as an actual wedding goes because he made me wait so long (I know that isn''t a good way to see things).
