Relationship straw poll. Light hearted

Me and Dp went for a drive today and ended up in a town with arcades so got out for walk round. We were on the 2p tipping point type machines that have prizes.

A load of coins dropped out and a cheap ring fell out, that resembled an engagement ring. He keeps saying this is is a sign. He believes in that sort of stuff.

I laughed awkwardly, now we are having a couple of drinks he thinks I should ask you lovely bunch. He must have mentioned it 10ntimes since it happened.

So.....is it a sign we should get engaged.

Full disclosure, I am not interested in getting engaged yet, given neither of our divorces are finalised (we didn't have an affair and met after we split with our spouses).

AnyFucker thank you. It's not the first time people assume that marriage means fuck all to me. As I said, I am not ashamed I Walked away so their words mean nothing. I feel a bit sorry for people like that.

I definitely wont let him rail road me. Doubt he would anyway. I just need to broach the subject in a gentle way.

I would be the first to congratulate you on a happy new marriage after your experiences. But go easy and take your time. Good luck !

It’s a sign.

(It’s not really, but he loves you and wants it to be!)

Christ what horrible first few responses you had

I think it’s quite sweet. But do take your time OP!

I agree, a few arsehole comments there!

But I think it's cute.. some people like to look at life like that..

Tell him you agree it is a sign, and the fact it came from a 2p machine means its a sign he should save up for your wedding in 2ps. That should buy you some time!

We had a chat. He thinks it's a sign, I told him I don't believe in them but if he wants to think that, that's fine too and then said 'but if it is a sign, it's not a sign we have to get engaged right now. Theres no rush'

He was absolutely fine and agrees theres no rush.....panic over!

And thanks to everyone for making me smile. Don't worry about the judgemental arseholes. It's their issue. Not mine

You sound like you have a good thing going and that's a great outcome!
I wish you lots of luck and love, and I hope more people end up in relationships where you play 2p slots, coz that's just entertainment central! 😍
