Help me manage expectations this weekend….

[Keepcalmandsleep]

(Kind of light hearted!)
My partner and I are going away for a much needed break.
We haven’t had a break away together since our DD was born last year.
The problem is that every time we have been away together (even before having our DD) I wondered if he might propose.
On one occasion he actually knelt down in a lovely spot and I thought it was happening but he was just trying to get a nice angle for a picture 🤣🤣🤣
I’m so looking forward to this weekend anyway and I really don’t think he will but I need to get it out of my head!!

I suppose my AIBU is “to ask you all to help me manage my expectations this weekend” but it felt too long for a thread title 🤣

Why don’t you manage them by just asking him if he wants to get married? Then you’ll not be on edge all the time. Have you never discussed it before?

Why don't you propose to him?

I proposed to DH, he didn't seem to mind. I've always been one for cracking on with things, not waiting for others to get themselves sorted though.

If you can manage to have a baby you can manage to have an adult conversation about it.

Dont be sucked in by the big romantic gestures.
Most aren’t remotely like that.

I think the coy ship has sailed, considering you have a child together! Time to speak to him about it.

Have you discussed it with him? Do you even know if he's planning to do it?

We have spoken about it and have both agreed we’d like to be married.
I have been married before but he hasn’t and he has always said he wants our engagement to be special to us and he wants to propose.
He has always said he wants to do it “properly” (his words not mine). I don’t think it’s something he would compromise on and he also knows how my previous relationship proposal went and he’d like it to be memorable and special for both of us. It’s not really about being “coy” or not discussing it
