To wonder why I didn’t get engaged this weekend?

(Lighthearted because knowing me I’ve probably got totally the wrong end of the stick)
Last week I stumbled across a ring box hidden away (I honestly wasn’t snooping I just accidentally found it while putting something away). Obviously I didn’t say anything. But now we’ve had Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day and no proposal.
I’m just baffled generally tbh as we’re not that type of couple, we’ve always said when we want to get married we’ll just start planning it together. We’ve had quite an up and down year with covid obviously and DP got ill in the summer, but we also had our first successful pregnancy so I thought maybe he’d decided to make a big gesture. But nothing.
Has he changed his mind? 😂
Was it not actually for me? 😂
It’s so silly I just keep laughing at myself. What’s going on?? 😂😂

Oh man that's THREE MORE DAYS of waiting 😫

Placemarking this 😬

My first thought was NYE! Don’t forget to update us when he asks! I think it’s obvious it was for you as he’s hidden it now. You’ll be glad you didn’t look when he shows you the ring!

@Dontwanttolivewithmylover

Why on earth would anyone have a butt plug. What for?

omg - was This what was

@KeyboardCat

Are you Emma Thompson?

I hope not;it happened to me once;it was crap.

I want to know what’s in the box and will there be a proposal? 🥰

Shamelessly placemarking!

Ooh exciting! I think he will do it NYE

@Luckingfovely

Why has nobody else noticed that *@DoncasterHombre* drew a butt plug?

It's unlikely to fit in a ring box, but I give him credit for creativity.

Rooting for you, OP.

Possibly new years or could he have been looking after it for a friend to ensure their partner did not find it?

Love this! In admiration of your will power. Keep us posted 🤞🏻💎

Shamelessly placemarking. Love this post.

One of my friends had been with her DP for ages and very broody but didn't want to have DC without comittment of marriage. Eventually she tackled him about it and found that he was planning a very complicated proposal involving picnics and going up grassy hills etc. etc.. He was very upset, it almost spoilt everything!

@icecreamgirl94

I did just go to open it which is when he suddenly said about the kitchen light 😂

All the best

So if you didn’t look in the box it could even be something for him like cufflinks.

But if it is a ring then a NYE proposal is definitely a option. My OH did that after around 20 years together a few years ago. And we were out. It was not at all his or my style but it still happened.

If you do actually want to get married though and have agreed to just discuss it why not do just that now?

Long time MN lurcher, first time commenting, I just can't handle the suspense on this one

Please update as soon as you have further news as I'll be thinking about this all night, what is it?? Haha.. luckily my husband can't hold his own water so his secrets don't last more than a few days

WOOF!!

Maybe it is ring- but not for you.

WOOF!!

Haha! Was so excited I didn't even spell check 🤣 lurker!!

I'm.very invested in this threads conclusion!

@speakout your comment is unnecessary and downright mean.

Still a possibility though.

This is so sweet. I live the idea that it could have been cufflinks!
I really hope it's what you wish for OP.
I've been laughing aloud at the comments posted. Thanks for cheering us up

also shamelessly placemarking!

A novelty condom?
