He took me on a “mystery trip” Saturday. It was our Valentine’s Day and he said he wanted it to be extra special to make up for last year’s (I was in the hospital and we didn’t get to do anything). We stopped off at the scene of our first date and a few of our favorite places. Walked through the rose garden at my happy place, danced at the ocean. It was all very corny but no red flags went off as he’s always corny and this was our eighth Valentines, it’s special. He stopped at a gas station and blindfolded me. Drove me for a bit blindfolded and led me in to a building. I was not liking the blindfold – even asked him “what is this birdbox bs?” Hahaha. I thought I was either getting a new pet or was going to some show I would freak out to be at. He took off my blindfold and I was looking at a wooden door that he nudged me through. I see tons of my friends and family. They all yell SURPRISE! I’m completely shocked and thrown for a loop. I looked at him and said “is this for my birthday? What is this?” (My bday was 10 days away). I looked back at the crowd taking in all the people. Then when I turned to look back at him, he was on one knee. It was the most beautiful proposal. I bawled my eyes out and of course said YES. 💕

Just wanted to say a huge CONGRATS to you Bee!!! What a wonderful thing and I am so glad it finally happened for you 🙂
I am in a similar situation (not as long relationship) but in my own experience and reading other posts…I think men just have this weird thing about having things just so. Even when we say we just want the ring we don’t care if it’s $200 or $2000! And it’s tough not really being in control of the situation as women because men are seen as the ones to make the proposal happen. Even when the realtionship is great otherwise, waiting can put such a damper on things.
Again congrats I hope you guys continue to have a wonderful happy life together 🙂

My fiancee didnt propose until the day before our 8 yr anniversary. For him he was fully committed but scared of the official step.
It’s a tough spot to be in and it doesnt help there is so much conflicting information that muddy the waters.
My advice is to hold on if you truly feel he is the one- trust your intuition.
Good luck and I hope all turns out well!

I think you just need to tell him straight out, that you are 100 perecent ready and excited to marry him.
You have talked about it, but only in possibles, maybes and the fantastical .
Just tell him. “You know, I really feel ready to do this with you, what do you think?”
Edit: hadn’t read the entire thread. Congrats!!
