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.

Got to post now so I can find this thread.

I am such a cynic about relationships but the way you talk about him makes me want to find my own 'walking green flag'. Hope it's happening tonight and you are having an amazing time.

Are you sure he doesn't want you to find it?

It seems bonkers leaving it in such plain sight!

How do I find new thread, if one is made....

I too found my engagement ring stashed away at home in advance of the proposal. When we went on holiday and I realised he'd put it in the suitcase I was on tenterhooks the entire stay, thinking 'now would be the ideal moment' about a zillion times. On the final night we went to a beautiful restaurant and he was acting so nervously that I thought surely the time had come but nothing...we went for a walk after a meal and stumbled upon a music festival in a park where by coincidence a band happened to be covering my favourite song. He chose this magical moment to propose and it couldn't have felt more 'us'. In retrospect, the formality of the restaurant would have made the moment feel less personal.

I've been married to my walking green flag for a over a decade now and life together is awesome.

Good luck OP, I can't wait for the update.

I thought maybe his dd was trusted to hide it as their secret...hence the not so hidden hiding place....

Not going to be tonight either. Just out from the show. Ring was left in the room.

Emotional roller coaster!

SD was conceived whilst he was dating his ex (3 months). She dumped him with the positive pregnancy test pretty much. She met someone else when she was pregnant. He met me when SD was 7 months. 18 months after they split. If that's okay. My kids were 4 and 2... does that make him the OM? Nope. My ex left me 3 months pregnant on my wedding day. We've had a shit time in our previous lives and are both thankful to have met each other when we did.

My ex left me 3 months pregnant on my wedding day

!! Woah!

Best of luck for the next one!

Please dont give those klampits posting utter made up shite one second of your time.

Just think. Their minds went there, the worst case scenario and I can see their mumsnet head tilts and little snidey smirks from here😄

@ThisMustBeMyDream please do not explain yourself to someone who plucked a theory from the air and ran with it to lower the mood!!

We are all awaiting your updates and excited to hear the news!! 🥳💕

Also, I find it so strange that people even bother posting or reading something that irritates them enough to want to rain on someone's parade ... Do they just wake up on the wrong side of the bed?! 😂 If 6 weeks is a long thread for you, just simply stop reading. You'll be so much happier and at peace and it will leave the rest of us to be as invested as we like! 😀

I’m getting really worried this thread is gonna fill up before we’ve had a proposal. Can everyone stop posting 😂

😂
Marking place!

One will definitely be made.

I went all out this evening and suggested my boys wear shirts and SD one of her fancier dresses. DP then got a shirt out for himself. So I showed him 2 dresses of mine and said what do you think I should wear (short, or long). He said long as it's fancier.
Still nope!
Also this afternoon when we were alone there was definite opportunity.
I give up! He defo isn't asking before this thread is out! I've never filled my own thread before. Will be quite the honor!

I’ve just read all your posts Op and am now totally invested and waiting to see what happens! 🤞🏼💍

Ah OP, sympathies! I may make a thread for mine, we’ve been discussing engagement for an age and it has driven me absolutely mad this year. I had actually told him previously I didn’t want it to be on our upcoming holiday because I’d hate to be in even more of a state of suspense, but it looks like that’s what’s happening. I love him dearly but MEN. Hang tight, I’m sure it’s coming soon!!! Excited for you.

@krazynutnut

How do I find new thread, if one is made...

I'd start by looking in the cubby hole by the side of the bed

Ok I’m just plain annoyed now.
if it were me, I’d start messing with him. Like moving the ring box places. Nowhere far, like on top of the table, on the bed etc just to wind him up a little

@ThisMustBeMyDream

seriously, you need to be thinking of the title for your next thread - it's Tuesday evening and ' we ' may have another 46 hours to wait !

and I am convinced he won't be doing it during children's club times.

my bet is 9.05pm on Thurs eve - your last night, after dinner during photos at the castle

I think sd is playing a large part in it - he may ask, and she may present the ring ?

🤣🤣🤣

I'm thinking the same, im new here but don't know where to find follow on thread, other than searching for it but obviously won't know what it's called...sorry 😞

Do you think you will ever show him this thread?

I'll make a new thread if it gets to it! And link it on here! Suggestions welcome for a name 🤣🙈.
@zonder maybe on our death beds. Otherwise, nope, he'd probably hate it 🤣🤣🤣🤣. He'd get really embarrassed!

I don't think SD will play a big part. She's still only 7, and liable to burst in to tears any moment for any given thing! Can't be trusted! In fact, the way they've been this holiday, all 3 may find themselves ousted on our return! So I don't think he will get her to say anything.

"The one where she finally gets to say YES!"

Perfect 💛 🥰

About bloody time!!
