    Great night last night, but of course it was for a newly wed, and at least 2 or 3 other girls had rings!! Of course, I was able to fortunately commiserate with two other girls (a few years older than me but waiting just about the same- 4 years) and they are definitely in the resentment stage and haven't talked to their SOs yet... I didn't expect going to this party to make feel think about any of this! My SO and I are long distance, so I was excited to hang out with some girlfriends (and some guy friends) and meet new people, but goodness! I am grateful at least I have a timeline!

    I think it's really unfair for some women to be resentful when they have not had a timeline talk with their boyfriends. Guys can be really clueless sometimes. Now, if you've had the talk and you are still trreading water, then I could certainly see a reason to be resentful. It must have felt nice to at least admit you had a timeline! I'm sure in just a few months you will have that gorgeous vintage ring on your finger!

    One of them, it was a combination of 4 years of dating (they were 25/26), BF age 28 STILL LIVING WITH HIS MOTHER. Which is fine, if he's saving, but the mother makes him be home by a certain hour and just won't let him off a leash, and he is neither proposing nor moving out.  P.S. I am so excited for this PARIS trip. I cannot even imagine!!! Please keep me updated! I'll finally get to see my SO mid-March, but I'm 99% sure it's not happening then. But it's ok :)

    @love108:  Wow yeah, that is crazy and does not bode well for the future. It's great to have a guy who loves his mom, but there's definitely a line there between healthy and unhealthy. 

    I am trying SO HARD not to blow too much money on new clothes for this trip. It's the unfortunate manifestation of my excitement for the trip and potential engagement. There are a million dresses and new bags and boots I want to buy. Arrrgh I need to sell a kidney for this trip! Haha.. 

    And I will keep the faith with the 1% that it COULD happen in March for you!!

    @love108:  See I have a timeline of 2 years and am defo hitting the resentful stage despite only having just set our timelime last month. I am desperately trying to find other ways of distracting myself but it's tough and I feel like it's just my fellow Bees I can talk too - so many of my realworld friends are either against mariage for many many years yet or are married :-/
