Let me preface this by saying that I know I''m being a brat...
My birthday is a in two and a half weeks. I have been hinting to my bf (well, not really hinting, more like... oh, see that big diamond ring... birthday present?) that it would be fantastic if he gave me an engagment ring for my birthday. We started looking at rings in December and I''ve made it pretty clear which one I really like (he was the one who orginally picked it out... I would have never chosen it on my own). He has the money and at least two connections to get a close-to-wholesale price for the diamonds.
Second part of the story... we''ve been planning a trip to the Bahamas this May with us and two other couples. On Friday afternoon, we finished all the details on the hotel and flights and times. So excited.
Then, Friday night, my bf tells me that for my birthday he will be paying for the whole trip for me... flight, hotel, all excursions...
I am so disappointed I could cry.
Now, don''t get me wrong. I am thrilled that he is taking me on this trip. However, I have my own money and could easily pay for myself. And it''s not a ''romantic'' trip since two other couples (one with a baby) will be with us. Also, I spent at least five times the amount of the trip for his 30th birthday present in January. Not that really matters that much... but still...
So, now I know for sure that he is not going to propose for my birthday. Truthfully, I was pretty sure it wasn''t going to happen anyway, but know for sure really sucks!
Sorry for the long rant...
