    So my BF and I are not talking about it anymore.  I know this ebbs and flows, so I really have no reason to be upset.  Anyone have any pointers?  I don't want to get needy. :)

    I feel silly.

    If you aren't taking it could mean that he is plotting... Just relax and enjoy your time with him! At least he isn't torturing!

    seriously he probably doesn't want to tip you off.... just keep your nails nice, apply an extra coat of mascara (laughing as i say this because when i got engaged i had been traveling for 10 hours then outside on a sweaty beach in dirty clothes and no makeup) and know its coming soon!

    I agree with Crebre80- he may be plotting! My friend was with her (now husband and father of her brand new baby!) for 6 years talking about marriage on and off. Then he abruptly stopped talking about it. She got really upset, but about a month later he surprised her with THE most romantic proposal in a spot which held great significance for them (where they first met). He had gotten his best friend to hide and play music from the bushes and her best friends to set up a romantic dinner under the stars and he wore a tux. The only thing he forgot was pictures! heh. So keep on hoping!

    I wouldn't worry about it.  At this point he either just doesn't want to talk about it period or he is planning something.  My FI was the same way so that he could surprise me and he sure did!

    I agree with the pps . . . he's probably plotting!  Don't know what it is with these boys and their plans (me thinks it's an hommage to childhood secret hide-outs and tree houses -n- stuff) but they sure do love to make them!  And they love it even more when we are surprised  AND when they have a *supercalifragilistic* story to tell their friends/family about how they proposed. 

    It's tough, but we know you can hang!

    I think I went overkill with the ring sizing.  He's still going to do it, and he doesn't mind... but he definitely knows.

    He also knows I want to go ring shopping, but I think he's going to propose first and then we go shopping.. but I don't think it will be until after May. I need a hobby. :)

    He is definitely plotting! Now you can challenge him and act like you don't WANT to talk about it. Maybe that will get him to do it sooner....or maybe I am just loosing my mind because I have actually convinced myself that I am getting my ring tonight.... totally lost it...  you still sound sane so....there is hope....Laughing

    I think I'll be doing engagement chicken next week.  He shall never know the intentions.

    I also think I'll make something with the puff pastry in the freezer.  My BF will be gone until Sunday evening visiting his folks so I intend on decompressing. 

    *sigh* I am definitely, DEFINITELY killing all future/wedding/engagement talk going forward.  Not a peep.  I feel so-so about this, I know I'm not alone but it seems when you quiet the talk, the questions about "is this right" sometimes inadvertantly show up for no reason.  Perhaps as a defense mechanism.

    mmmtacos - I can tell you it's much more peaceful in our household without the talk/fights that come along with it.  Plus, I feel like I have some power over it now.  I don't know if that's true, but he begins talks about it now, instead of me.  It is going through my head every minute of the day, don't get me wrong.  But I come to WB and chat before he gets home.  Good luck!

    definitely sounds like the wheels in his head are turning....i find the less i've been talking about it, the more he brings it up ;) but fight the urge - post on the boards and not to your bf :)
