A little background: BF and I have talked about getting engaged sometime after August, when he finishes classes. I figured that by the time he finished up and got around to buying the ring, we''d be talking fall or winter. He said by the end of the year, definitely. Although I had been obsessing about this, first about the ring, then about the wedding, I have recently tried to cool off and focus my attention elsewhere, since I still have awhile to go. And it was working. Until......
Last night, my boyfriend says to me, "I have to talk you you about something". This sounds strange to me, so I ask what''s up. He says, "I was thinking about buying a ring before I finish up my classes". He says he''s been thinking about it, and he may be to afford it sooner than he thought, and if so then why wait? He said that he wants it and I want it, so if he has the money then there''s no point putting it off. I tried to not get too excited, because a.) I don''t want him to feel pressured, and b.) I don''t want to get my hopes up. I told him basically that I''d love for it to be sooner, but that he shouldn''t feel pressured to do it before he''s ready. So it was up to him.
But of course, now I can''t stop thinking about it and my obsession is coming back. If he does it before classes end, that means before August, which could be anytime in the next few months. I know he''s getting ready to sell his old car, and should be getting tax refund money too. So I''m guessing that''s the money he''s going to put towards the ring. I wish he just hadn''t said anything! How am I supposed to not think about this all the time now? And worse, what if he changes his mind and decides to wait? Now that it seems like an actual reality, instead of some far off fantasy, I feel much more worked up about the whole thing. And of course, I don''t want to talk to any of my friends about it since nothing has happened yet. So I''m going crazy. I need to calm down a bit. Advice?
