    So it's for sure that my boyfriend and I are getting married.  HOWEVER, he's been waiting for the official proposal, until he can ask my father for my hand in marriage in person.  I appreciate it as does my father.  He's also going to have my dad travel overseas (he works out of China) to buy the diamond.

    He told me his budget for it.  However, last night when I mentioned that my dad is going to be back at the end of this month and I was hoping for the ring within a month of him asking, he told me HE HASN'T EVEN STARTED SAVING UP MONEY FOR IT.

    :(  I could've cried.  I mean, why even talk about it and talk about asking if he doesn't even have the money to buy a ring?! I'm so FREAKING FRUSTRATED NOW...I don't know what to do.  I've already looked around, planned things out like he wanted, and...now, I just dunno.

    Keep your spirits up! Since you know all the details, and your 'expecting' it when your dad comes, he may just be trying to throw you off. Men get mighty sneaky about this stuff.Good luck to ya!

    I think he could be trying to get you off the scent.  I would try to put it out of your mind, I know how hard it is, but dwelling on it will just make you feel worse.  Plus, it will be a suprise when it happens then!

    Awe... don't get too upset.  I honestly thought that my SO was saving for the longest time.  When I found out that he wasn't, I was completely bummed and upset.  However, when he found THE ring... he pulled funds together and bought it anyway.  I know it seems way off right now, but it will come and when it does I'm sure you will be SO happy!
