Hey Becky!
You should check out the Christmas Challenge - just search "Christmas Challenge" in the search box at the top right hand side of the screen.
Some of us are helping each other stay accountable to not bugging our SOs about marriage/wedding until Christmas. :) The hope is that they'll take the silence to mean it's time to propose, hehe, or that we'll drive them less crazy. :)
Welcome to the 'Bee!
Welcome to the boards!
You know, I have to say, I've heard a lot of stories similar to yours (including me, actually) where it just seemed like it's taking foreeeever and then we get annoyed and then they get annoyed because we're getting annoyed...it's a never-ending cycle! Just know that I went through the same thing with my FI and the main reason he didn't want to talk about it was because he was already planning on proposing and didn't want to ruin the surprise!!
Welcome to the HIVE!! You're not alone in the waiting game, we've got to know a lot of bees here that are waiting, then soon after post a thread of their engagement with their new jewelry!! At least you know that you have a place to come and vent and look for (wedding) inspiration!
Welcome! It's great to be on here even if you aren't engaged! Look around & see what you have to look forward to :P There's lots of inspiration & venting!!
welcome! i was about to say the exact same thing as amanda.lynn, my story is the same!! after he proposed he told me he was glad i had kinda stopped talking about it, made him feel like he could really surprise me! hang in there!
Welcome to the hive. Hang in there! My FI and I were dating about 7.5 years before he proposed. I was a professional student and even though we knew we'd probably get married after I was done school, it was frustrating at times. He was never a big fan of long engagements and so we waited until I was 2 months out from finishing school until he popped the question.
As far as him getting angry about talking about it, I think it's just a normal guy thing. Guys just don't want to feel like they're being pressured into anything. Then again, perhaps he's already starting the mind games and a proposal is in the near future. GL.
Hi becky! I'm new here too and also waiting (and my bf and I are both also in school). It is hard, especially when friends are getting engaged, but it will happen for you! I wish you the best and see you around the boards!
Welcome beckyh! I know the in-school-and-no-money situation well! Don't worry -- it will happen for you when it is your right time!
I don't know if this is an option, but could your BF look into a line of credit or even lawaway? So then the ring could be picked out and paid for in small payments? Just a thought. :)
Have you had a serious talk about where the relationship is going? I think that's the most important thing you can do. See if you're on the same page. If he cannot afford it now, then what is his timeline exactly?
I believe you should know exactly where you're headed, especially since you've 1)moved far away to be with him without a committment and 2)it's been 6 years.
Welcome to the hive. I think there's alot of wisdom here and support.

Hey everyone,
I am new here and also waiting. I Found this site a few days ago. I wrote in the relationship section because I didn't even see this section until yesterday. My situation is that I have been going out with my boyfriend for six years. We are both 26 and completing grad school next summer. I have moved 5 hours away from my home and friends and family to be able to live with him so that we wouldnt be apart. We have talked about getting married MANY times-he gets annoyed with me. He basically says we can't right now becuase we dont have money and we are both completing school. I agree but i still feel i should get a commitment after all these years and all the scarifies of moving for him (im all alone here with not one person I know plus I am paying alot of money to be able to live here ie.rent, utilities, etc). I think atleast the commitment should come soon and then we can get married in a few years after we graduate and get a job. It is hard to wait for so long.
Nice to see I am not the only one going crazy. Atleast now I can come on here instead of annoying him
