Today he has been making me stand with my hands across my eyes, to take Polaroid photos of me.

So, this morning he took one of me next to the Christmas tree with my eyes closed. I couldn't open them until he'd left the room.

Then he's done a few more at random places across the day....

I don't want to get my hopes up but what is he hiding!? What is this about!!!

Excited but still need to keep my cool just in case it's something completely different haha.

Will update!!

That would put me right off! Hope it’s not this, OP and he’s doing something original.

Still at it 🙄

You are not being proposed to. And whatever you think of this plan, it's not up to you to mock it for being unoriginal. Be nice. 😐

My DH "proposed" in a kitchen reject shop...

I can actually see how that might happen.

Ooh I just saw a link to an AIBU- "Ring disappointment"..... Hope these threads aren't connected....

You will be relieved to hear that they aren't.

ForgottenwhoIam · 25/12/2023 10:05

The longer the update, the more I fear it isn’t good news, but I’m happy to be proved wrong .

OP is probably busy enjoying her Christmas morning with her partner and 3 children - with or without a ring. She'll update if and when she wants

yes- and I've also got a gentle sense of humour.

ForgottenwhoIam · 25/12/2023 10:33

I hope so @Possimpible

Thegoodbadandugly · 25/12/2023 10:35

Did he propose op?

ForgottenwhoIam · 25/12/2023 10:47

You do realise that I hope all works out for OP, don’t you @Possimpible?
Only, I found your reply to my last post on this thread a bit snippy….

Merry Christmas 🎄

Hospitalshmospital · 25/12/2023 10:58

Keep checking in for an update. In bed feeling awful after a month of illness & now have d&v. OP this thread could make my Christmas!! Hoping for an exciting update 🌲

“A bit” snippy?! 😂How about “very”…

It’s a daft social media trend. Tomorrow he’ll make a TikTok showing all the pictures of him holding the ring next to her without her apparently knowing

This is so tacky. 🤮

whiteshutters · 25/12/2023 12:16

There's a load of miseries on here who need to go back to their miserable beds and stay there with the covers pulled over their miserable heads!🙄

^This is so RUDE!
It might not be your cup of tea, nor mine, but don’t piss on someone else’s chips.

sleepysummery · 25/12/2023 12:32

Gosh, I didn't realise I'd receive so much hate for this 😂😂

No update yet. We've done presents with the children, I received some lovely presents! New pair of mini uggs, white company pjs, some nice smellies from Lush. So we shall see later!!

I did ask him and he said it's coming later on today....!

Sugarsun · 25/12/2023 12:33

Omg I would hate this!

If this is something you would also hate then get in there first and tell him how awful you find these proposals that are designed for SM.

Hopefully he’ll get the hint and propose to you in a less selfish way.

If this does happen to be your thing then good luck and I hope you get what you want and a lot of likes on SM.

Honestly, no I don't realise that. Your post sounded like you were sitting rubber-necking, waiting for OP to come back and share her disappointment tbh. Like on the hospital threads, or where OP thinks her partner is cheating, and you get pages of 'any updates OP???'

ETA - good to see you're having a nice day OP, and the surprise is still to come. I think you might be right! It's nice he's not done it with the presents, it should have its own moment

You nailed it in your first sentence. You would hate it.

Imagine spending Christmas Day pissing on some strangers proposal chips!
