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 wonder if he's already asked your dad.

The ring is beautiful!

Excited for you! We're all waiting for the update!

Oh I love this thread!
@ThisMustBeMyDream how long is your holiday? Do we have to wait 2 weeks for him to ask you?

Well this thread is just delightful 😍 (ignoring all the fun sponges)

I squealed when you said the ring wasnt in the drawer! Have an amazing holiday OP and I look forward to your update.

hope it’s all you wish for @ThisMustBeMyDream such anticipation🤣 We waited 7 years to marry for various reasons & it was right for us🤗 to those who want to rain on your parade they should just leave this thread alone & find one more suited nothing wrong with a bit of tradition when your both happy with it xxxx

love a live thread and especially a lovely one like this.

Misogyny much?

Aw I'm so excited for an update x

i don’t see any sausage fingers in this picture. I do see a pretty hand waiting for a very pretty ring to be placed on the “ring” finger. 👰🏻

Have a wonderful trip. Sigh. How romantic (and I don’t care how old-fashioned that sounds).

Ah jeez it's the sackcloth and ashes poster back.🤣

Ffs it's Friday night let a little smile play around your gob

My brother held onto his ring for 11 years and then broke up with her. I feel more gutted for his ex girlfriend than him. It sounds as if your boyfriend has put some effort in so hopefully he is waiting for a romantic opportunity to ask you.

If people are against the idea of women waiting for a proposal, etc, fine, that’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it, but it is important to the OP! That should be the end of it. The OP didn’t ask us to debate whether it is an anti-feminist issue, but simply to share in her excitement, which happily many are.

Has someone posted a link or oic? How have I missed that?

Ah congratulations OP. Xx

Yes, on the first or second page.

Looks like someone recognises themselves!

Loving this thread, so excited for the OP!

I found 4+ years ago when my OH of 52 years died very suddenly that there were jobs I'd never done and a lot of them involved being outside on the cold and wet, Christmas lights for example, what a chore. The first time I put fuel in the car I sat there unable to find the opener, usually he refuelled and I went in to pay. Chucking socks into an open drawer seems fairly minor!

See, I'd be paranoid that he would go "Hmmm, you don't normally wear that colour. Have you been rummaging through my pants?".

(Just kidding - I'm on tenterhooks with everyone else!)

Don’t you ever EVER tell him you found it. Not even if you’re married for SIXTY FIVE YEARS!!!
Let him forevermore think that he surprised you!

I completely agree. Never, ever tell him that you found it. I would be really gutted in his shoes if I found that out.

Ooh exciting. I hope he does it sooner rather than later!

So invested in this now!! Enjoy your special moment op x
