Hi everyone! I have been lurking on here for awhile now.
I call myself a lady in waiting.
My story....
I actually have an engagement ring.
We had talked about it alot. I did most of the leg work on looking for the ring, as he knows nothing about jewelry. He wanted me to have what I liked and wanted.
He did not see it until I picked it up and brought it home. I had been so excited in the store about it that I did not take it off.
He never actually proposed.
Maybe its my own fault for having not taken it off before I came home.
About a month later he said it had happened too fast but he still wanted me to wear my ring cause it did not bother him.
I was really conflicted.
I ended up keeping my ring on. But I still wanted a proposal.
When we talked about it, he said I needed to be patient.
After that I took my ring off.
To me, the ring is a symbol. But for me to wear the symbol, I want the promise that goes with it. I feel like he may want me to look taken without having to actually have the responsibility that goes along with engagement.
I need it to have the emotional attachment. I look at it as a thing. Am I crazy for needing that before I will wear it again? Am I wrong for taking a step back until I know that he knows what he wants?
