(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?? 😂😂

It's definitely for you?

girlmom21 · 27/12/2021 20:03

Don't look in the box if it's still there.

LSLLM · 27/12/2021 20:03

ThePlumVan · 27/12/2021 20:03

Scotabroad24 · 27/12/2021 20:04

I'm fully invested in this OP, can't believe you didn't look in the box though.. you are stronger than I Grin

Greydove28 · 27/12/2021 20:05

OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO LOOK IN THE BOX

FawnFrenchieMum · 27/12/2021 20:06

I need to know the outcome of this! Grin

BlissfullyIgnorant · 27/12/2021 20:07

My fella gave me a small box wrapped as well as he can. I shat myself. Then found out it's earrings.

Open the box!

You need to look inside or you'll drive yourself crazy! There could be 100 things in that box for 100 different reasons, maybe he got a ring for his mum/grandmother/sister etc.

Husbands or ex-husbands in my case, aren't always that careful at hiding things that aren't for their wife, hopefully not the case with the OP.

Has he recently started wearing a chunky signet ring, maybe in the shape of a skull.

angelaEhen · 27/12/2021 20:11

You need to look, good luck!

Lovemusic33 · 27/12/2021 20:11

Place marking. I want to know what’s in the box 😬

stmw123 · 27/12/2021 20:13

I can't believe you have the restraint not to look in the box.

Why don't you just squint your eyes and look from a distance 😂

Maybe new year?? 😁
I am 30 next year and I have a suspicion (hoping) my partner will propose to me on my birthday Smile
