The team my SO is on at work just won a huge international contract and the project manager is having everyone that worked on the project and their SOs over for the evening tomorrow.
I feel so awkward because there’s this one couple that’s going that I’ve never met but I literally know way too much about their relationship… let me explain.
SOs buddy J was dating this girl H. Turns out H was also dating this guy S (who my SO later worked with on this project). It’s all very incestual sounding lol. So like 2 years ago or so, H had to make a decision who she was goign to date exclusively… and she chose S. I heard a lot about this from J because he was pretty heartbroken. Only person I know in this situation is J, so I have literally never met S and H.
So that’s the first awkward… that I know she was kind of playing them both for a good while.
Because my SO and I had been looking at rings a couple months back, he also mentioned that S and H are looking for rings – because H is pressuring him to get married. Apparently she told him, “all my friends are getting married and having kids and I have nothing!” This is after a year and a half dating that she says this to him. So he told my SO that he feels like he has to propose.
I don’t know why, but I feel so weird about the idea of meeting these people! Because I know way too many personal details about their relationship for not knowing either of them.
It’s just a rant. I’m actually very good at the polite social stuff… I feel like inside I’m going to be giggling to myself though… especially if she brings up engagement stuff to me. We’d be the 2 women closest in age at that party that aren’t already married so I feel like naturally we’d speak.

Lol GIRL TALK!!!!! What better to do it on a Friday nite 🙂 Ok, first off….Girl I DONT BLAME YOU for feeling uncomfy about meeting them. She might pull a fast one and try to ask about when you guys are getting engaged then make a huge scene about her own, etc. Second, she is a player looking to be engaged now? lol Thsts pretty hilarious. So how old is she and her SO? Do they live together too?

@GirlWithTheGlassSlippers: yes, they live together and i think she is the same age as my SO, so 27. Its kust weird because I’ve been hearing about this girl’s crazy actions for years via 3rd party and now i actually have to put a face to the crazy. I think her SO is aroynd the same age, maybe a little older.

So she ended up having to be in Boston, so I only met S.
Awkwardness did ensue though. EVERY couple that was there was either engaged or married except me and SO. But it was VERY obvious that he’s talked to his coworkers about his plan to propose.
I kept getting a lot of “your future husband” and “almost engaged” and “soon to be engaged.” I laughed them all off saying stuff like “we’ll see about that” and “who says I’ll say yes” which everyone knew I was totally kidding.
It was a fun night though and I’m now even more positive that he plans to ask soon. On another note, I casually scoped out all the rings – lots of eye candy!

@DreamingofDiamonds: I agree with some others who mentioned that this is going to be amusing! Yes, awkward and weird, but only inside your own head, and you can make fun of them internally all you want!
People do such bizarre things sometimes!!
ETA: Oh duh, just saw your update. I’m glad it wasn’t too weird, though it must have ben highly annoying to listen to all his coworkers go on about your impending engagement. So irritating when people do that and you feel like you’re the only one who doesn’t know what’s going to happen. . . people should just mind their own business!!
