Hi there,
Could you add me to the list?

I am soooo glad I''m not the only LIW. And I''ve been that way since the summer. grumble. Oh well, it''s not going to affect the actual date of the wedding, so I shouldn''t tie myself up in knots about it. I''m just not that good with suspense.

 

[sleeping beauty]

[jenwill]

Welcome to the newest LIW!

AmberWaves- hopefully he won''t wait until you are in the top 5ers....believe me the wait is not fun.

Hi everyone!...

I''m new in this forum and wasn''t sure if I should join or not...but I have been reading many posts and see how you support each other and give good advice!...so here it goes.

I don''t know what would make me an official Lady in waiting?. So I''ll let you decide if you think I am a Lady in waiting or if I''m just over-thinking and need to just relax!.

I''ve been with my BF for a little over a year and a half...it has been amazing and I never been so sure in my life about anything. I know he''s the one for me...I''m happy, in love and have a great relationship

. I''ve tried to be careful to not say things that look like I am "putting pressure on him"....but it''s so hard!. We''ve talked about the future...he''s told me he knows I''m in his future....we actually have talked about getting engaged, getting married, having kids, etc etc etc....but nothing!. We actually even designed together the new house that he is buying (we don''t live together). That is actually mostly my decision...I don''t wnat to move in before I see something concrete.

The problem is that I feel like this is not fair...I''m just sitting here waiting...without being able to plan my life out because I don''t know what to expect or what his plans are. I feel like I should just go about my business and have my own plan....but in the back of my head I can''t. I see job opportunities pass me by because I''m just aiting to see what is going to happen (we live about 1 hr 15 minutes form each other) so I feel like I shouldn''t plan on getting a new job...what if then I have to move?....pretty stupid...

I just fel stuck.....it''s like my life is just stuck waiting for him to do something!....it''s not right. I''m not asking for a specific date....but is it too much to ask to know what time frame he''s thinking about?. I am thinking of having a talk with him tonight. Not an ultimatum or anything....but something so that he sees how I''m feeling...

Then there is my family!

they keep asking me EVERYDAY what he is waiting for, why hasn''t he proposed, etc etc...they are driving me insane

and then when I tell them to stop they say they never have asked....crazy!

I''m just very confused...maybe is just all these people getting engaged, married, having kids around me and they just look at me like "ok, come on! what''s wrong?"....

Sorry about the long post....so...do I make the list?

M~

I think it is a good idea to talk time frames just so you know you''re on the same page. I hear ya on the family and friends. My family is always asking when he is going to propose. I just tell them that it will happen when we are both ready. Let us know how that talk goes.

Welcome to the new ladies! I hope your stay won''t be too long!

I second that!


Also: Firebirdgold your dog is SO CUTE!!!

Thank you albicocca!

He''s super soft too, and plush like a high-end stuffed animal. Of course all my new clothes seem to be tan or orange colored. "Dog hair, don''t leave home without it!" Oh, and my bf''s cats totally boss him around!
Your ring looks fab, and waaay bigger than a 1.08 ct.

Thanks for putting me on the list! I hope all of our stays prove to be short, but I am so glad I''m not the only one quietly going insane.

Is it just me, or do men seem to expect us to be telepathic even tho they complain that we expect them to be? I mean, in their heads they are thinking about the ring/engagement/marrige thing and saving money and such, so they just don''t understand when we get frustrated about nothing happening. Since there is progress in their minds. grrrr.

Mandarine, I agree with TXblonde. You should, very gently, ask for a time frame. It''s very reasonable considering that it''s affecting your career. IMO you should maybe broach it from that direction. My bf and I both know that when we finally live together it''ll be in very close proximity to a wedding date, yet I refer to it as ''when we consolidate (households)''. That way it doesn''t sound like I''m pressuring him to propose, same idea. For the first ''time frame'' conversation, I''d recommend totally avoiding the m word unless he brings it up. And don''t forget about the whole boy-soon vs. girl-soon. very annoying.
