Eeeeeeee! Relationship excitement

BoothsChristmasBrochure · 2022-06-04T07:26:18+00:00

I love all the threads where posters share why they love their partners, or when they felt loved etc and think they're a really heartwarming addition to what is often a tough and harrowing (but so important) board. With that in mind, I hope this post is OK, I just wanted to share my excitement and it's too early to call any of my friends! I woke up this morning to see my partner measuring a ring i regularly wear. He doesn't know i spotted him, and i'm not going to say anything, but i have a little glowy feeling in my stomach :) I know it's a non story really, but would love to hear if anyone else has had a lovely little relationship moment recently.

Aww this is lovely, I love when people feel genuinely happy 😊 I don't have anything of my own to add (not a sob story just too tired to function haha)

Arh I love this!!! We need to know back ground info how long together etc

Pinkbonbon · 04/06/2022 08:44

Ooh that's so exciting! Wonder how he'll ask you!
Do you think he will make a public gesture of it?

Hmm...not a relationship moment exactly, but I recently saw my idol in person whilst I was somewhere that I felt overwhelmed and rather out of place. And just seeing him had such a calming effect on me. Like he was an anchor in a storm. And I was just so happy. Not even in a giddy school girl way, just, sheer happiness y'know.

It's also inspired me to finally make the move and go travelling, because if I hadn't gone out of my comfort zone that day, I'd never have had that experience. And frankly, life is too short!

Preliminary congrats on your engagement m'dear! I hope your partner will be an anchor to you in any storms to come and make you very happy :)

Awww that’s so lovely. Enjoy that warm glowing feeling!

How lovely, so happy for you. Now that's an idea, must buy a cheap ring to leave lying around

Been together approx two years, we were starting to see each other as covid hit, but obviously that put a stop to things, but we kept in loose contact and had a bit of a stop-start relationship in 2020, before getting our act together properly towards the end.

Neither of us has been married before, but had long term relationships that didn't work out. But this just felt right very early on. Tbh, I was emotionally ready to marry him from about 6 months ago. We have talked about marriage, as in what we think makes a good one and what it means to us, and that we both want it, etc. It's nice to see practical evidence that he is on the same page!

@pinkbonbon thankyou, your post is so lovely!

I love that story about your idol inspiring you to travel. And it's so true that life is too short! Everything is a risk, it's so important to take the ones that sing to you. Happy travels!

Oh and I hope there will be no public gesture! He's not particularly showy, so something quiet that we can enjoy just the two of us would be perfect. And then tell the world after!

Pre-congrats, OP 😉

Tomorrow, my DP is going to tell his DC that we are getting married 🤭 We are are also moving into our first house we bought next week. We are just constantly thrilled and amazed at how well everything is going. Not rose-tinted, I promise. Just a general up-tick in fortunes after a crappy few years.

Purplecatshopaholic · 04/06/2022 09:32

Aww, how lovely op, I love a bit of romance! Pre-congrats (is that even a word..lol)

dudsville · 04/06/2022 09:38

That's a lovely feeling! I've been with my OH two decades now. Recently I'd put some wooden shoe trees in a stiff slightly tight pair of leather shoes and left them in the sun to loosen and stretch a bit. Later in the day i looked out and the sun had moved and OH had moved my shoes accordingly. Honestly, it's a silly small thing but it really meant a lot to me.

TheVolturi · 04/06/2022 09:40

This is so cute! Please update if he surprises you!
No better feeling really than being loved and in love.

That is so nice OP . I am meeting my BF parents for the first time today. Been together for almost 6 months. I am very nervous 😬

The little things are everything though, aren't they <3

Aww that’s lovely!!

Yesterday my boyfriend was due over and I asked him to check in the supermarket (he was stopping for wine on the way) if that branch had any of the cookies my son likes as i’d done a food shop in the morning in a different branch and they weren’t there. He texted me to say sorry they weren’t there and I said never mind thanks for looking, only for him to send a follow up text from another supermarket well out of his way with some even better cookies. It was a small thing but so lovely, really sums him up. I love him!!

So, back to update as requested (@TheVolturi)

I'm engaged! 🤗And despite having suspected it was going to happen at some point, the actual moment too me completely by surprise.

We went for a walk on the first morning of our holiday (me with no makeup and scraped back hair because we were going to lounge around the pool afterwards) and he suddenly dropped onto one knee and pulled out a ring when we were looking at a pretty view It was all such a blur, I wish I could go back and pause time at the point I realised what was happening, have my little mental freak out and then press play again to properly appreciate the moment 😂

Lovely to read these posts! I’m smiling at DH and he’s wondering why, but smiling back as he always does.

And congratulations, OP!

This is a memory from years ago but I will never forget it.

I'd been living with my boyfriend for 2 years. He got up at 7am and left for work at 7.45am.

I started a new job which meant I had to get up at 4am to leave the house at 4.30am. I struggled to wake up so early. I'd switch off the alarm and instantly fall back asleep. He'd have to shake me awake. I was in danger of losing a brilliant job.

So he started getting up when my 4am alarm went off, and bringing me a cup of strong tea in bed, along with a sugary biscuit for a quick boost. Whilst I consumed these he'd lay out my uniform and shoes, and get my pre-made sandwich out of the fridge. Once I'd drank the tea I felt wide awake. He'd stay up whilst I dressed, hand me my sandwich bag, kiss me goodbye, then go back to bed and sleep till 7am.

If it wasn't for his devotion I would have lost the job thru being habitually late.

He did this every day (well, every day that I was working) for a year.

That is love.
