A couple of weeks ago dp and I got engaged. We were both sober and are both happy about it, he in particular has been sending me links to venues, photographers etc. He told his parents a few days later who were really pleased and when his mum congratulated me she asked when we were telling everyone else. He was seeing his children that weekend so I presumed he'd tell them then we'd tell everyone else, allow the news to be on Facebook etc.
However, he didn't tell his children. He has pretty much said that he doesn't intend to as he worries that their mum might stop them attending. The wedding will be in three years or so! My dd knows we're engaged and I feel it'll be much worse coming from her than him and I'm certainly not prepared to deny it. Furthermore, he didn't tell anyone at work saying he 'likes it being a secret.' He also hasn't told anyone else and hasn't spoken of any plans to. I don't feel I'm in a position to tell anyone as a result as I don't want his dc hearing the news from anyone else but I'm happy and excited and want to be able to tell people.
