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

How about all the naysayers just, oh don’t know, don’t read the thread..?

Stop pissing on the girls chips and just go away. This is importantly to her. It is annoying to you. We get it. You’re the boring ones if anything.

I think the OP is genuine, I just think she needs to pull it now though.

Too many people know too much.

Sallyh87 · 14/08/2024 12:41

This exactly happened to me, we had been together for about 10 years (no kids but two now!). We went on a big holiday and I found the ring in his suitcase, he waited till the last night. I still haven’t told him I found it!

Hope it happens tonight OP!

But why wouldn't you want to report if you don't believe it to be true?

Why would you want to just make allegations without taking any action?

Otherwise you're doing what you're causing Op of, basically attention seeking.

*Well that was a total failure. Tried to post the Little Britain meme to this.

Ahhhhhbisto · 14/08/2024 12:47

Please make a thread 2 @ThisMustBeMyDream!

SatansBobbleheadedDashboardOrnament · 14/08/2024 12:48

Well this thread fell as flat as a pancake in the end, didn't it? Is there a Bitter Arsehole convention on today or something?

InkyPinkyPonky24 · 14/08/2024 12:49

Oh come on! Stop ruining the thread for the OP and others. If you don't like it then move along!

This would be desperately attention seeking, I can't imagine many people wanting this sort of thing!

I used to work with a woman who would regularly have a 'surprise' proposal when traveling with her partner. Or any travel companions would 'let slip' to cabin crew they were newly engaged/en route to marry ect and could congratulations be announced - all in the hope of bagging a freebie bottle of fizz. Sad but true!

ThisMustBeMyDream · 14/08/2024 12:49

I'm not going to start a new thread. Feel free to message me for the outcome and I'll message it to you.
I don't have time for other people's drama.
