I'd love to be added to the list if that's ok! I found the forum a few weeks ago and love it! I'm so glad to see so many women that I can relate to and love reading everybody's experiences ( particularly the "I'm Engaged...take me off the list!!!" posts).
Now for me. I've been with my boyfriend for just over four years now, and we've been living together for a year. I've actually known him for much longer, as he was close with my older cousins and I frequently saw him at family events ( his family mainly lives overseas) and on holidays, but with a 7 year age difference I never gave it more than a hi and bye. We saw each other again at my cousin's birthday party over four years ago and it all played out from there. I don't know if any of you are familiar with the Rascal Flatts song "God Blessed the Broken Road" but the lyrics to that song are my story word my feelings toward him and our relationship better than I can ever do, and I hope for it to be our wedding some when the time comes. I've had my fair share of bad relationships, the one before him especially.The relationship caused me to lose all faith and hope in men and caused me to strongly dance around the idea of not wanting to get married and make that commitment to somebody. My boyfriend has more than restored that, I have never met such a warm,loving, caring man in my entire life. The anxiety to marry him comes only from knowing what an excellent husband, and one day, father he will be. We have in recent months started talking about rings ( which led me to find this website ) and have looked, and discussed my preferences, but I trust he knows what he's doing ( I know he gets easily overwhelmed, and is very nervous about doing everything "perfectly", which is the main reason I tried to make it a little easier for him). I can't wait until the day comes, but until then... I am just a LIW
