could "I've got her a ring " mean anything else

[NamesNick]

group of us at a friends house last night having drinks before we head out to pub

I was upstairs waiting for the loo to become free and overhead dp saying to his mate "I've got her a ring "

they seemed to be discussing my birthday which is in two weeks as they were talking about where we would go and what we would do

could I have misheard? is he going to propose? it could just be that he has got me a ring couldn't it?

now I cannot get the comment out my head and am surpisingly excited about the prospect of a proposal

however there is a definite part of me that thinks this must be something else...

What's with all the sneering? Some women want their partner to propose and will wait. Some women prefer to discuss it and not have a surprise proposal and all different options in between. If you are so offended by a man asking a woman to marry her when he feels it is right YOU CAN ALWAYS SAY NO!!!!

Happy birthday for a fortnights time, OP .

Thank you Shocker for putting it in better words than me.

I think our life circumstances, the relationships we forge, the choices we make in our careers and businesses, the experiences we have all combine to define who we are. Marriage is obviously a big part of that. I think motherhood is too. My life changed completely after becoming a mother. And my career is also a huge part of my identity.

I think LovesPeace misunderstood and assumes I meant that my life is centered around my DH. Its not. But he is a huge part of it.

Have you been proposed to yet? Or did he just give you a ring as in make a phonecall to you?

Gosh there are some twatty women on here who believe we should all be like them! I'm glad I'm not!

No discussion in our case, we had a stonking row and were laid in silence on sofas ignoring each other. I looked over at him, I thought 'what a wanker' then got a rush of feelings that he was MY wanker and I'd never want to be without him so I waddled over, got down on one knee and told him I lived him, couldn't ever bear to be without him and proposed. We're devoted and very happy. No engagement ring as money was tight back then and I'm not into jewellery.

Just had a rethink, I've decided to join the twatty women brigade and look down on everybody else who doesn't have my attitude

birthday not until thursday but there have been some plans made in terms of what we are doing...although its all a bit hush hush.
no ring. no receipt either haha!!
I do not think for one minute that he will propose. I reckon it was the drinks talking.

will update after my birthday with what actually happened.

Shameless place marking

Some people are so miserable.

I once heard DH telling SIL he had got me a ring as part of my birthday present (we were married). She was very impressed at how romantic he was being until I told her it was a silly joke ring that squirts water at people. I wasn't that impressed at the time.

However, it is very funny and I have 'got' DH with it regularly. You can do it from the other side of a room and it is really powerful. He falls for it everytime for a split second and looks puzzled at where water is coming from, then he remembers. I have had hours of fun with it tormenting him. Have taken it on holiday - great when he is snoozing in the sun. I have had it 4 years now and it still works perfectly. If you are lucky, it might be one of these. A tip: It is best not to over-use it so he forgets in between squirts and then it is unexpected again.

PS He did get me nice things too as presents

Lulu... where did he buy that one? It sounds fab!

Why are people so miserable re:proposals? Some people like the old fashioned way, some don't. Each to their own!

I'm also dying to find out if it is....

"got her a ring...... .....side seat"?

Are you a fan of the circus, OP?

Joining the place markers

Pm.

I hope you have a great birthday.

I had a good idea when my do was going to propose. He picked the ring in advance as we were away for the weekend. He actually did it 2 days earlier than he planned as he was terrified I was going to find the ring. It wasn't a grand gesture or super romantic but it was perfect to me.

Me too. I love a real life drama. Fingers crossed for you, OP.

Blatant place marking too ;)

Lying He didn't buy it, he confiscated it from a sixth form boy who wassquirting girls and who came back for it! No expense spared in this house.

To give him his due, he did design my wedding ring and had it made. He is romantic sometimes.

Pm!

all the place marking makes me chuckle.

extra pressure now not to disappoint

Another PM - sorry!

PM!

Could you have misheard him say "I'll give her a ring" as in phone call?
