I was on here for a little bit earlier this year, and then I asked to be taken off of the LIW list because I had decided that I just wanted to live in the now with my boyfriend and not worry too much about our future engagement. Well... I''ve been bitten by the bridal bug and I am back and need some of your guys'' support!
So, just a brief background on my situation:
Boyfriend and I started dating in October of 2004, which means we are coming up on our 3-year-anniversary. We moved in together in April of 2006, so we''ve been cohabitating for over a year now and everything is going very smoothly. Recently getting engaged has come up because boyfriend is hellbent on buying a house together, and I''ve made it clear that I won''t take the step until we are engaged to be married. Renting is one thing, commiting to a mortgage is another. (I work in the title business, so I know.) He respects my wishes and said that we can wait until we are engaged until we start looking, which is great. Problem is, like I said, I''ve been bitten by the bridal bug because over the past few weeks because our close friends are getting engaged left and right - 2 couples just this past week! It''s like, good lord!
It got me thinking about how much I would love to be his bride and how badly I really am yearning for him to pop the question. Now, everytime that I hear of another couple making it official, I freak out and cry and he cannot understand my frustrations. He reassures me everytime that we are going to get engaged and that it will be sooner than I think, but it''s like, why not RIGHT NOW??!!
I''ve just about near lost my mind with all of our friends'' wedding talk and everything. I am so jealous of all of those girls who are sporting sprakly engagement rings. I mean, how come THEY have gotten so lucky to have their boyfriend''s propose to them, and mine is still dragging his feet?
He tells me last night that he loves me and we are going to go old together and we are going to get married and he wishes he could video tape me when I start my crying fits so I can see how ridiculous I look. He said he wants to play them back for me so I can laugh at myself and see how silly I am being after we do get engaged.
So... we are definitely getting engaged, it''s just a matter of when, and how, and he feels that it isn''t his place to disclose any of that info to me because he wants it to be a surprise, and he said that he doesn''t care if I don''t want it to be a surprise, he does, and it will be because HE is the one doing it. Oy!
Has anyone else been here? LOL I need some help dealing with the frustrations of waiting and getting impatient!
