Background: we've discussed marriage and all that. Dp had a proposal planned but we've been struggling a bit with adapting to life as parents so I said for him not to ask.

Cue today. Ds isn't well, he's been feeding on and off all day and hasn't slept at all. Dp came home early from work to take over and managed to get him to take some expressed milk and fall asleep, yay Smile

I got a bath while Dp was settling Ds and when I got out he said he'd go get us a McD's, so we could eat and rest before Ds woke again. Not really sure what came over me but I burst into tears and in the midst of comforting me he said "god I love you so fucking much, please marry me". Stood in the kitchen, me with wet hair and wearing one of his t-shirts and not in a cute rom com way, I look a mess.
I mean it's romance novel stuff right? (If I say yes).

Thanks for that congratulations.
Ds is wide awake and joined the celebration. Well he's having breast milk not wine and Dp's got a beer.

Ahh, that's lovely! Congratulations :)

I'm having one small glass of wine, just incase anyone's worrying that I'm drinking and breastfeeding. Dp will be up through the night as well, he copes really well without sleep.

Sounds lovely! Congratulations! Flowers

Shootfirstaskquestionslater · 18/02/2019 22:27

Congratulations that’s a lovely proposal me and my DF got engaged last week he was going to ask me on Valentine’s Day but he asked me the night before no big gesture just down on one knee in our flat it was perfect and romantic to me.

MaFleur · 18/02/2019 22:29

That is utterly lovely.

ProfMad47 · 18/02/2019 22:31

I think that's a really beautiful proposal. He sounds supportive and thoughtful and blurted out what he really felt. Congratulations x

liverbird10 · 18/02/2019 22:32

My fella was cooking Christmas dinner when he literally chucked a box at me and said "You might as well have this then."

"This" was my engagement ring.

Hmm
MerryBerryCheesecake · 18/02/2019 22:32

Big proposal gestures are nice and all but they are highly rehearsed stage productions. What you got was an outpouring of genuine emotion that actually sounds rather lovely.

Congratulations.

GreenBea · 18/02/2019 22:35

This is the kind of everyday, honest and real love I'm looking for. Fancy trips and big gestures are great but these firework moments dotted around the sometimes mundane trials of normal life are what sustains you. Congrats OP and hope you enjoyed the Mc'Ds. X

liverbird10 · 18/02/2019 22:35

Oh, and congratulations, your lad sounds decent. :)

minesthecutest · 18/02/2019 22:36

Aww that's the perfect proposal. If you don't marry him after that, I'll take him please.

Alsohuman · 18/02/2019 22:39

That's better than any contrived, artificially staged proposal could possibly be. I've welled up a bit.

TheFrendo · 18/02/2019 22:40

Top notch. I hope you accept.

JWrecks · 18/02/2019 22:42

I think that's actually pretty great.

Congratulations!

GirlOnIt · 18/02/2019 22:44

Thanks again for the congrats! He can be quite sweet, bless him.

itwaseverthus · 18/02/2019 22:47

I think that's very romantic indeed. Congratulations! Flowers Gin
