I found an engagement ring!!!!!

ThisMustBeMyDream · 03/07/2024 12:00

After almost 7 years together and hoping that I'd get a proposal... I've just accidentally found the ring!!!!!!!! Putting his flaming underwear away, stuffed at the back of the drawer! Of course I looked... tried it on... it's exactly what I'd wanted and is my size! I'm overjoyed! But annoyed I found it too!

I can't tell anyone of course... I have to keep it all in! But... ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I'm just so freakin' excited!!!!!!!

I really hope he does it soon... he knows I don't do flashy, public things. So I'm hoping it's romantic and just the two of us, or just our family (we both have children from previous relationships). He knows me so well though so I'm sure it will be lovely. He's a teacher, so I'm guessing something might happen over the summer holidays 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞. Or perhaps it could be later this year near my 40th. I'm guessing it won't be for my 40th though, he wouldn't do it then. But he might do it around that time.

Sorry for all the exclamations marks! I'm a little excited as you can probably tell. Grin

Yey! Nice to get a thread with a bit of joy!

Anniegetyourgun · 09/08/2024 11:14

I'm a cynical old divorcee, don't even usually glance at this type of thread, but somehow I did and I'm rooting for you! Your relationship sounds lovely, as does your man (and, of course, you), and this would just be the icing on the cake.Try to relax so you don't give the game away, and enjoy ALL of your holiday including the (hopefully short) bit before the item makes its appearance Wink

I've just found this thread and am now totally invested!

My money is on him asking the pilot to do an announcement mid flight ...

I never understand these adult women "hoping for a proposal". Especially "putting his underwear away".

This. Did we slip back to the 1950s?

Oh do fuck off.

So thrilled for you OP!! Can't wait for the update x

Wishicouldlovemyself · 09/08/2024 11:31

@ThisMustBeMyDream I wish you all the best. Good luck for the proposal on holiday 🤞🏼

Ignore all the 'how dare you clean up after him' brigade.
It's nice to do things for each other and when it's reciprocated, what's the issue!?

I do most of the cleaning, etc, because I'm home more, and I enjoy it, but my dh will often put a wash on or vacuum or something when I'm having a lie in on the weekend. It's about give and take, like any successful relationship 💯.

Pearl97 · 09/08/2024 11:31

I’ve had a pretty rubbish week but I’m so excited to read your updates. Please update us when you can. This is brilliant and I’m so pleased for you.

Unashamedly place marked for updates.

Why not. If mine didn't put mine away they would be piled up on the side constantly
