I know I don''t have a lot of posts under my belt, but I''ve done hours and hours of reading on this site, just never felt qualified to contribute. Hopefully some ladies can offer some advice on this situation for me.
I''m a medical student in my final year of studies. In the last few months of medical school you have a "blank" schedule - students make their own schedule, as a means of getting some exposure to other schools where they can then apply for jobs. What that means for me is that for the next 4 months, I''m travelling a lot. I basically alternate 3 weeks at home and then 3 weeks in another province from now until early February.
I ordered a Tacori ring (2579) with an emerald cut diamond in mid August hoping that it would arrive before I started travelling, but after 7 weeks I''m still waiting on the ring and I''m already out of town on my first rotation. Pictures to come when I actually have the ring.
My concern is that now that I''m into this on-again-off-again schedule, is it really fair to propose while I''m home and then take off and abandon her for 3 weeks? This is kind of a stressful time in both our lives; even if we went out for a nice dinner or something while I''m home, I''m worried that our minds would be focussed on the fact that we''re separating again shortly and not just enjoying each other''s company.
On the other hand, if I already have the ring and the opportunity, why wait?
To put it bluntly, would you prefer to be in limbo for 4 months, or be engaged but alone?
