<3 LOVE it!! I will definitely re-read it when I am having a bad waiting day. I feel like it does a good job of capturing the waiting experience. SO doesnt understand waiting… Would it be weird to make SO read it? I guess that would break the shut it up pact :/ 

Also I really hope all that resentment and frustration go away the moment he proposes.  A lot of bees say that’s what happened to them, but it is one of my greatest fears that it won’t go away and I’ll always think he should have done it sooner.  SO has also communicated the same fear – that I will resent him forever for making me wait (I was really open about how terrible waiting made me feel- and looking back I’m not sure that total honesty is the best policy in this situation).  I hope this article is right about that!!

I love this, I needed it today. Every day SO tells me to be patient, even if I don’t bring it up. It gets frustrating as hell.  I can tell he’s excited to do this, but its still so hard to be waiting!

He’s listening and he hears you. He knows what you want, and he loves you, and he’s working to give it to you. And more importantly, in case you don’t already know, he wants to marry you. It sometimes just takes time to get there.

Lightbulb moment when I read this!

I got teary-eyed at the  “please wait for me” part. As I lay on the couch, boyfriend sleeping at the end, I know I’d wait forever.
