Hello! I've been lurking here for ages but I wanted to actually get involved and start talking to people. I originally looked on Pricescope to do some research before I buy my mum a diamond for her 60th birthday (it's a few years away yet, but I'm a slow learner!) and then I found all of the sub-forums and then this one and realised finally girls who understand how I feel!
I'll get all the intro out of the way now. I'm Steph btw, in the UK. It's a bit of a long story so feel free to skip it if you're not in the mood for a read.
My SO and I have been together almost 7 years, his mum (SOM) has been with her fiance (SOMF) only 6 months longer than we have, so just over 7 years and they got engaged Christmas Day.
I was so overwhelmingly happy for them, but on the other hand kinda hated them a bit y'know? Just a teeny bit! It's my own fault, the longer SO and I are together the more I get my hopes up that he's closer to popping the question and then it doesn't happen and I just get so disappointed.
But now SOM and SOMF are getting married she keeps saying things like "Oh we're FINALLY getting married, it's been such a long wait, I couldn't have waited any longer." Now I love my SOM, she's actually a best friend to me and I'm lucky enough to be her MOH at the wedding, and I wouldn't want her to not talk about how happy she is, but it's like she doesn't really think about what she says sometimes.
Because SO and I are no where near getting engaged, we have a house to buy and a car that needs upgrading, we don't have disposable cash to put on a ring, let alone a wedding. So I know it's years away yet and that makes me feel so sad. I almost don't care about the engaged bit, it makes me sad that I'm so far away from marrying the man I love. Anyone know what I mean?
We're young, so it's not like we're running out of time, but every time she mentions how long it took for them to get engaged, it reminds me how much longer I'm going to be waiting myself.
Too long: didn't read.
I'm happy for everyone whose getting married but I'm sad that I'm not.
And Hi again.
