To think my dp might be planning a proposal

I have a feeling my DP is about to propose. We’re coming up to our anniversary, and there’s been some odd comments.

First of all he visited my dad for a day out together but I wasn’t asked to go. I thought he was maybe just trying to make an effort with him.

He’s started calling me my name and his last name, putting it down like that on forms etc. His dad calls him and says “how is your future wife?”. He also calls me his wife?

He says all the time we’re going to get married, asks what our kids will be called. Says I will be an amazing mum and he loves seeing me with his nieces. He said to his niece a few weeks ago when we were watching a Disney film “that’s going to be me and alvaaa, do you want to come to our wedding?”

A few weeks ago at his rugby game he joked to his coach that he was going to put some tape round my finger and the coach said “she’ll think you’re going to propose” and he told me laughing?

He has told his mum we’re getting married. When I said (jokingly) “well you didn’t ask me, I didn’t know we were!” He said “mind your own business!” He then joked everyone thinks we’re married already, and that I’ll just wake up one morning with a ring on. I laughed and said right okay, and he said “you’ll get what you’re given!!” And was laughing.

We’re going to see his father in South Africa in a few weeks and he’s packed an expensive suit which is not suitable for the heat! He said he was packing it “for business”.

I’m getting a bit on edge about it. Am I overthinking it? Is he just joking around?

No one here can really tell you! What's your AIBU?

Why do you have two identical threads about this?

Weird. It's not hot in South Africa right now given it's the middle of their winter.
