So I have seen this site a few times and read lots of the posts, but my anticipation is getting the better of me and I feel the need to vent a little! I''m not really asking for your support, but I just need to vent a bit of tension!
A little background...
known each other: on and off 6 years before getting together
been together: over 3 1/2 years
lived together: over 3 years (we didn''t have that "getting to know each other period of our relationship)
lived in the house we''ve built together: 8 1/2 months
now for the anxiety-building part:
- he first mentioned that he wanted to buy a ring 11 months ago, but we''d put all of our savings into our house
- he''s said he would have asked (more than once) but doesn''t want to "without a ring in his pocket" - he''s even spoken to his mum about it and she suggested a burger ring!
- he knows I don''t care about a ring (and that there''s a $250 Tiffany "marry me" bracelet that would surfice), but he has had a print out of my dream ring for many months now, it is expensive, but I would really be happy with anything, and he knows that
- we have discussed it a few times, and whenever we get asked when we''re getting married (and we do quite regularly), he says "next year sometime!"
- the print out of the ring is no longer in his bedside drawer
- we have the money now
- we have a friend''s wedding this weekend, it''s out of town and he wants to go somewhere nice for dinner on Friday night
- he was disappointed that I''d booked a hotel for this trip ages ago without him realising
- he was playing with a ring that I wear on my RH ring finger one morning last week to see what finger it fitted on, and where it fit on him, and it mysteriously went missing
- I mentioned this to my friend, and she said he hadn''t said anything to her, but that it all sounded a bit sus''
and the disappointing stuff:
- he''s asked me to help find somewhere nice for dinner on Friday night
- I found the ring I thought was missing, it was on the floor behind my bedside table
- weddings don''t plan themselves, if he wants up to get married next year we need to start getting things happening
There have been a few times where I thought he might actually ask, but he didn''t, and to be honest I would feel bad if he proposed while we were out of town for someone else''s wedding, as I''d want to tell the world, but wouldn''t because it''s someone elses time to shine. However since I found the ring I thought he''d stolen to figure out my size I have been more than a little disappointed, and can''t stop thinking about it, but there is absolutely no way I''m booking a restaurant for dinner on Friday, could you imagine: "honey thanks for helping me find a nice restaurant for tonight, I''m so bad at that stuff, oh by the way.......!"
My boy is really bad a keeping secrets, which is how he let it slip that he wanted to ask me 11 months ago, and he has been acting a little strange, but I''m just not sure now.
Ahhh, that feels better, Thanks!
