Ok, as some of you who frequent the Shut Up Pact thread know, my SO has been mentioning engagement/marriage left and right these days. Just last night he had me read a list of goals he has taped by his desk – on the front was “short term goals” (eg: “get out of debt” etc.) and on the back was longer term goals – three long term goals down was “hot wife” 😛
He made sure I knew that wasn’t my proposal (I did wonder – that would be a cute way to do it but not a way I pictured him doing it, lol) but yeah… Right now with the way our current situation is I’m not expecting a proposal until after his job situation improves and he’s settled into a routine, etc. but it just makes me wonder, is he also feeling anxious with everything going on throwing a proposal into the mix as well? Ahhhhh!

i think guys are usually less anxious about proposal/wedding stuff than we are. anyway, he sounds forward-looking. hope he pops the question for you to become his “hot wife” asap. 😉

My Fi was sort of dropping hints before we got engaged. He was making an effort to make sure that i knew he loved me because he knew waiting for a proposal was difficult and i wanted to move forward. But there were also things that i noticed that were definitely not signs. I think we pick up on things more and try to morphe them into a hint. Try not to do that.

@Swizzle: I think as females we definitely do this – I have just tried to pedal back a bit, let him do what he needs to, but my prediction is as soon as he gets a new job he’ll do it. 🙂

I think it is very promising that you’re on a list of his :). I feel kind of bad that I got so disappointed in my SO because I read his “bucket list” and nothing remotely to do with me was on it. So from my perspective it sounds very promising for you that he thought about you when he was making his plans :). Good luck ;]

Thanks. 🙂 He is honestly the most thoughtful man I have ever met. I’m a lucky gal.
Maybe your SO’s bucket list was written before you came into the picture and he hasn’t had time to revise it?

I wish, but definitely not. I have been around 3.5 years and it was in his calendar/planner from this year haha :/. But maybe he’ll come around and start being thoughtful like your man 🙂
