Hello ladies once again 🙂
this waiting thing has really gotten me feeling down every now and then! Recently speaking to my SO he explained to me that he wanted to wait some more time before we got engaged since we are in the process of buying a home! Which for me of course sounded like a bad idea lol bc I want to really bad. Tonight honestly took me completely off guard…we were sitting in my car talking about a friend who recently go engaged n all of sudden he said he would like to be engaged before dec 31st!!!! To my surprise I smiled and almost teared up (it has been a long time in the making!) he completely surprised me since his timeline once again changed lol I’m so confuse at this point!!!!! I know I should Probably shut it up and let it happen on it own but I honestly can’t stop thinking about it. I’ve dreamt about this day for so many years and I just can’t believe that it may possibly be coming soon….I am excited yet I want to not be so excited just in case it doesn’t happen. He even when off to say he wants to be married by end of August…aaahhh I’m excited but yet I’m terrify to get my hopes up! timelines have been changing so much. So i don’t know what to believe at this point lol I know for certain he will propose soon…the question is how soon…will I celebrate new year with as fiancé or boyfriend?
sorry bees for ranting. But I needed to get this off my shoulders.

I hope that you will be celebrating new years with a fiancé!
But it sounds like you have a lot going on, so you are right to not get your hopes up. I would just assume it’s happening next year to avoid disappointment.
Good luck waiting; keep distracted!

@katherin788: Try to think of yourself as engaged already and not let it worry you that you dont have a ring. That is what I did. It helped a lot with the waiting process. I eventually got it. He actually had it for 6 months before he gave it to me! He was waiting for us to go on vacation.

LOL I mean its not like anything changes besides your name if you even want to change it…its just a piece of paper literally. I was recently married and I dont feel any different….like at all!

@katherin788: It does! Plus I stopped mentioning the engagement all together and that helped. He said he hated when I asked. After we were engaged for a year I started calling him hubbs, or hubby, but never husband. I would make him say wife too 🙂
