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.

There you go , googled the hotel and there is the shelf there

forgot the photo

The grumps on this thread have gotten enough limelight now! Let them enjoy their miserable Tuesday! Back to OP. Did you repaint your nails OP?

But there’s a photo of a ring box with some kids’ stuff in a bedside table at the hotel. Same decor. Just why would you think anyone would go to that level of effort for a thread? You seem more invested than most.

This advice is just too sensible.

ah how exciting ! The ring is gorgeous xx best of luck

I can't believe people are getting so worked up.
Hope it happens soon OP?

For the love of God, yes! This thread started 6 flipping weeks ago.

I’m all for a bit of romance - but when you’re older, been together years and both have kids from previous relationships, it’s a bit daft to be building up a proposal to this degree.

I think it's lovely that people who are older and been together for a while can still get excited about each other. Reminds us it's never too late to have fun and romance. Don't be in a hurry to pull down the coffin lid.

I posted on another thread once about still being in the honeymoon stage 5 years in. Well at almost 7 years, I can confirm I am still very much in the honeymoon stage and I think he is too!
I still get butterflies when I see him. Sad, maybe, but he is everything I ever wanted in a partner and also what I didn't know I needed. Soppy, but true. Romance isn't dead at 40 here! I don't care if I sound like a lovestruck teenager, because I feel like one. And I'm not ashamed! We're a long time dead!

Is there anything special planned for the next few days where he could propose ?!
He might wait till the last day to end the holiday on a high or he might just be shitting it ! Either way c’mon and do it the suspense 😂

@ThisMustBeMyDream I'm 50s and been with dh 16 years. I still feel like that so does he.

Nothing planned other than 2 more a la carte meals tonight and Thursday. He is definitely keeping the suspense going. He announced this morning as soon as I woke that "well, we're half way through the holiday today". Yeah mate. Don't I bloody know it 🤣🙈.

@alrightluv Oh amazing! I love that! It gives me hope that this could last and last ❤️

I love this thread @ThisMustBeMyDream. And this is absolutely my dream... to meet someone and feel like that. So lovely to hear that it can happen. I divorced nearly 10 years ago and would still love to find someone special I feel sad that I don't have anyone that loves me and for me to love. We're all behind you, on tenterhooks, deliciously full of suspense hope today's the day😄

(Not sure why half my last message had strikethrough 😂)

Not sad at all! Been married 32 years here and still bonkers about each other 😊. It’s lovely to see another couple enjoying life together!

I can’t really get worked up about who puts the pants in the drawer and who puts the shopping away…..in a partnership isn’t it some and some without taking notes on who has done most that week?!

Also OP, I’m with you on the excitement re the proposal…why wouldn’t you enjoy it??🤷‍♀️. You will look back with such fondness on this time of romance and anticipation and good for you.

I’ve been with DH 31 years and still get butterflies when he gets in from work.

I’m starting to think that he knows you know…

Are you sure the ring is your size, and not a gift for his daughter? 😔 Hope I'm wrong did you try it on and it's definitely a n adults ring?

What a lovely post. You're just a ray of sunshine on an overcast day.

Oh no, wait...

You don't have to be ashamed, you've done nothing heinous, just y'know, a grown adult woman with kids sounds a bit ridiculous when she gets so worked up about a bloody engagement ring.

I mean what exactly will change for you once engaged? I assume you're living together already, right?

@Felaku

How bored are you that you care this much about something happening to an anonymous poster... especially something that you keep telling us all is so insignificant?

He's probably read this thread and changed his mind.

Been following this since you started the thread hope he does it soon for you xx

How bored are you to comment on what you perceive to be my boredom?
