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

I’m way too invested in this now 😛 I’m looking forward to hearing how he pops the question!! 💍

Same here! Very exciting news, OP 😁

PrettyPickle · 09/08/2024 15:53

So now you know its coming....as hard as it might be....don't spoil it for him. It takes a lot for a guy to pluck up the courage to propose even when they are pretty confident of the acceptance!

So pleased for you though - enjoy!

Place marking, hope it's soon !

I've no idea what you said @namechanging21 as you've been deleted.

How funny @C0rdeliaChase - I was agreeing with you that we absolutely mustn't have fun. Also mentioned feeling sorry for the bitter fun sponges raining on a harmless light-hearted thread - must of hit a nerve!

Hope you get to read this quickly in it case it vanishes again.

And also as in deleted post - have a fab holiday OP!

So fucking what, let things be traditional for once, who gives a shit if it gives men ‘power’ it’s love
and it’s lovely

Christ that is a depressing comment. I don't agree with people shitting on the op I love her excitement but c'mon "let men have the power, who cares" really?

AlleycatMarie · 09/08/2024 17:46

This is so exciting!!!! Please keep us updated!!!

But why can’t men have something? It seems like all MN posters want to do is take stuff away from them…I personally don’t see how proposing would be giving him power but so what? Why can’t he have it for this moment?

This thread is WONDERFUL

it also highlights some of the vile jealous bitches in the world - shame on you if you’re one of them

enjoy your holiday OP and make sure you update us! It’s a beautiful ring and you’re gonna have all the happiness in the world x

WalkInAStraightLine · 09/08/2024 17:49

Do the people who post repeatedly on threads to call others names and insult them (rather than simply disagreeing with what they've posted) genuinely not realise the irony of calling others "fun sponges"?

Not many things are more fun-sucking than stamping all over a nice thread to deliberately try and make people feel like shit because of what they are imagining them to be like.

I've noticed this on other threads the last few days.

100% this. It's such a cute thread. Smile Shame there are a few misery guts on here. They are very few though, which is nice.

I'm finding this all seriously old fashioned. Waiting to be asked.... bollocks to that

It’s not about you though.

Exactly. Not your circus @SeriouslyWorriedEars Why do you care if other women want to be proposed to?
