Talk to him---- he gave YOU a deadline, not the other way around.... he has enough money for a diamond bracelet but not enough for a ring? I would have wanted the money from the diamond bracelet to go TOWARD the ring. Diamond bracelets aren't inexpensive....
@armychica06: Exactly what I was saying to my friend hahaha I know how much the bracelet costs because he told me. He could've saved that money lol...I'm not angry it's just one of those things where youre so excited youre sooo anxious. But I plan to ask him and see where his head is at :)
@Scottish_lassie: I do know it's coming that's why I'm not like crying or rocking myself back and forth in a dark corner...hahaha. I'm just so anxious! I can't believe he told her the same thing he told me and then didn't do it? He ended up having to spend a lot of money around christmas so maybe that was it. We've GOTTA be getting close ;) Gotta!!
He couldnt afford the ring he wanted so he got you a diamond bracelet? Girl, sounds like he's planning to buy the Hope diamond or something. You are very close... but I would have to clarify. Id be so confused and honestly a bit upset if I was you. I dont want a diamond bracelet, I WANNA DIAMOND RING!! Ok, maybe that sounds ungrateful. Good thing your head is in a better place than mine right now :-)
so let me get this straight, he gave you a timeline of 2011, nothing happened, leaving you to wait further in limbo. you expected a ring and he gave you a bracelet instead?! i dont know how you've been able to maintain your composure but i wouldve been pissed! whose to say he wont backtrack on the next future timeline? did you two talk about another timeline??
if i were in your shoes and seen his actions above, i'd think hes getting cold feet on the marriage idea but thats just my take on it. your word is all you got, and so far his word has no action behind it, time to tread carefully here and have another talk on where you two stand.
if he could afford an expensive bracelet he sure as heck can afford to put a ring on it and be realistic, instead of excusing the continued wait with some over the top search for a debt bound ring/perfect proposal. sorry to come off negative, but situations like this frustrate me to no end. i hope this isnt an excuse for him to put things on hold longer and he does the right thing by giving you your long awaited ring! good luck to you.
@MissTX: SO did the same thing: bought me a super pricey (but very lovely) necklace, I'd rather he'd saved the money. Men can be so clueless!
A male friend told me he'd planned to propose last year, it's been on the cards for about 18 months and still no news! He's a little nervous bless him. Talk with you SO. But it is coming, so try not to fret :)
@Beautiful Bluegrass: upset yea because I got all worked up in my head expecting it, but got the bracelet instead which is gorg by the way, I wear it all the time. I sometimes look at it and say "damn you! why cant you melt together and create a diamond ring" hahaha
txbella: yep you got it right! It's okay for coming off negative, everyone has their own opinion and it's nearly impossible to "judge" a situation via a weddingbee post and not knowing us so I completely understand. If you knew him, it wouldn't be negative, but that's what I get for posting my business on here haha. It's not hesitation, I think he is going insane mulling over details and having everything be "perfect" when really that's all him, I could care less lol. He's a crazy. Never the less, thank you for your input :)
@ladyartichoke: Sooo outrageously clueless! Oh yea I would go on silently for much longer. I will just gently bring up a timeline bc we need to get the ball rollin lol. I'm not fretting but this is only place I can vent my "frustrations" with the anxiety!! I just want him to do it alreadyyyy so I can cry and kiss him and announce it to everyone hahaha. lame.
I just hope it doesn't look like this...or we will be having some actual problems:
;)
My rants/vents are (IN MY MIND) coming off as comical, funny, sarcastic, etc. You see a lot of ladies here frustrated, crying and very upset with their SO to the point it's hurting their relationships and causing a lot of stress. I just dont want to come off as that because that's not the sitch. I don't want it to be miscontrued as such ONLY because, I have no qualms with his intentions. I just want to rant and blab sometimes and maybe entertain a couple girls who take the time to read it. I appreciate everyone's opinions though!
you know what you're right, we dont know your relationship, and theres totally nothing wrong with venting, ive done so many of times.. occasionally i didnt always get a reaction i wanted to see in response, we can only read what you post from an objective stand point.
you seem to have alot of faith in your guy, naturally so, but even the strongest womens faith would be waivered a bit after a failed deadline. and one thing waiting bees here can unanimously co-sign with is a loathing for failed deadlines and promises, so our reactions might not come across as positive all the time in response to that.
i just dont see how after a timeline came and passed there wasnt a peep about it, or was there? im just curious how the pink elephant in the room could be ignored, but im more of a blunt outspoken person, i wouldntve let that slide easily lol.
lol yep, totally understand why some reactions aren't as favorable as mine. Of course it looks like one way from the outside, which I also understand. No hard feelings to anyone's "negative" comments what so ever. I definitely feel anxious in wanting him to propose but it makes me feel NO less lucky or sad or any of those feelings that would probably ensue. I sometimes wish all of the Bees knew eachother personally, because it's sometimes hard to convey or understand exactly how things are. That's why the Bee is so great because it's a bunch of unbiased objective opinions!

Guys!
I'm trying to not go absolutely crazily insane. I even woke up this morning and told myself that I was going to pretend the Bee didn't exist..even for a day! Just so I could try to stop thinking about the "waiting" and DANG sometimes I get home and don't do anything around the house because I'll just be on here BS'ing around. Being unproductive lol.
Tonight my neighbor/friend came over, I've known her for about 14 years and she loves my SO. She helps him with gifts for me etc, they have their own relationship. Somehow the topic of a ring or a wedding came up and she says to me: "I thought MrTx was going to propose to you before the year was over? That's what he told me?"
Well, damn. She's talking about 2011, which he told me as WELL. IF yall have read my rants, you know that he told me it'd be before the end of 2011....Then she told me "he really wanted to do it for yalls anniversary but he didn't have enough money for the ring he wanted to get you" Skurrrrrrrrrt.
Did yall read my post about the extra ELABORATE anniversary dinner/date where he kept everything a secret and then gifted me a gorgeous diamond bracelet at the end. I was convinced that he was FOR SURE proposing on that night. Without a doubt in my mind it was happening. And it didn't because he has these ideas of grandure for the ring....lol shaking my HEAD right now. The man is going to give me gray HAIRS YALL!!!!!! ;) <3
