I found an engagement ring!!!!!

[ThisMustBeMyDream]

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.

I'll go back and sneak a photo when I've finished cleaning 🤣🤣🤣🤣

How exciting!! I found mine too and tried it on once or twice before he finally proposed 😂

Terrible idea, don't do this.

Delighted for you but no photos til it's on your finger!

No don’t look at it again!! Keep the excitement/anticipation.

How lovely, the ring sounds beautiful. Congratulations.

Come on, must be obvious this is a jokey comment

Don't post a pic until he's proposed - you want plausible deniability if he ever stumbles across your thread. The ring sounds beautiful but very easily identifying

So exciting, please keep us update when he finally askes you :)

Okay, no picture 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Yet!

I have an amethyst anniversary ring. I'm too lazy to take it off all the time and would probably lose it if I did. I get it replaced every 2 years or so at a cost of around £100 ( it's a med-large size stone)

It sounds like a really lovely ring. Definitely need a photo when it's on your finger OP.

Yes, exactly. The passive girlfriend, desperate for a proposal after seven years, a passenger in her own life at almost 40 years old and a parent, putting away her presumably able-bodied boyfriend's boxers. How do people live like this?

Wow. What a bitch divorced by any chance?

So glad you love your ring OP! Sounds gorgeous. How exciting. Cheers to the proposal 🥂

Seriously?! Is this sarcasm? Feminists have gone so insane a woman can’t even put her boyfriends underwear away for him and be excited about a proposal? Your lucky husband/partner (if one would have you)

How exciting. 💞 💍 🤩

No, not sarcasm. There's something monumentally depressing about a parent hitting 40, hence well into adulthood, spending seven years waiting for a proposal within the context of a longterm, committed relationship because it would be unthinkable for her to say 'Let's get married'.

haha...so did I!

You don’t know the context of their relationship, their financial status, whether purchasing a house to raise their children in took priority over an engagement ring. Go shit all over a miserable thread and don’t be so bitter about someone else’s happiness.

I don't, no. I do, however, know, that it costs almost nothing to get married. We did it for a few hundred pounds. There is never any conflict between buying a house to have a roof over your children's head, and getting married.

Shock horror not everyone wants to do things the way you’ve done them! Go be a drip somewhere else.

Well you just can’t argue with stupid can you 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hope the proposal is soon

What a lovely thread! I'm happy for you, OP! Keep us updated

They live fine. If you dont like it, mind your own business.

💕how exciting! Don't mind about the snippy comments. Lots of women (me included) wait until the man proposes.

Make sure to have your nails looking nice for all occasions for a while!
