So I think I've discovered a new stage of waiting - the UGH stage. I've gone through excited stages. Ancy, happy, OMG I know its coming stage. Frustrated stage. Now I'm just - ugh. I've decided that I'm not going to bring it up with SO. No more mentioning it or jokingly pushing him for info. In fact, I havent mentioned it in at least two days and when SO does, I kinda just brush it off. 

I'm under a lot of stress with grad school and work and life in general, so I dont know if thats why I just cant bring myself to be excited or what.

Anyone else ever get like this?

@MisfitPrincess: I shouldn't have that problem - 90% of my friends are already married!  So I'm just stuck until my brain decides that it's time to be excited again. 

@CupcakeLove: Exactly!  I'm just "meh."  It's like the 7 stages of death or something around here!  lol

I get that way sometimes, it's one of the phases I cycle through on a regular basis. It's when I dont feel excited cause I know not much is going to change even when we do get engaged then married. We already live together, we've already started having kids, plus weddings are expensive and sooo much work...

Then I think what if he isn't able to deliver in the timeframe he promised and feel frustrated having to wait so long...

Then I think about that pretty ring and telling our family and being MRS B and I get excited all over again :)

@KittenB: See, I think things will change a lot for us.  We don't live together yet because I am helping my mom out and he is living with his grandmother.  Once we get engaged then my mom and his gmom will have to be more understanding regarding us moving in together.  We are both "trapped" at the moment because neither of us wants to let family members struggle, but we both feel that being engaged will make them realize that they need to figure out other arrangements.

@KatyInWaiting: That has got to be hard, but you're both good people for helping out your families. I can understand you guys would probably feel a certain amount of guilt in leaving your mother and grandmother to start your life together. Doing as fiances and not just bf and gf will probably soften the blow a little, but its still a tough situation. It sucks that it might be putting things on hold for you as you both feel responsible for your respective families and dont want to leave them hanging, but dont feel guilty about wanting to start your own life, you have every right to! I hope everything works out for them when you get that proposal and move out together :)

Thanks ladies!  I feel myself slowly coming back out of it!
