proposal

my boyfriend& I have been together for over 2 years. we live together, have a doggie, & are recently expecting. ( I'm 7 weeks+3) he knows that i want to be his wife... he has known for a while. he always says he wants to get married..I guess it's just my female way to cope, to make it seem like its not a big deal to me.. most recently i said "oh we should wait because my fingers will be to swollen for a ring" i know it's stupid to expect him to read my mind but Damn he should know by now right? i don't want to just be "boyfriend & girlfriend" when were going to stsrt a family. I guess im just waiting for him to want it enough to do it.. i feel like it will never happen.. Maybe just pregnancy emotions. ugh.

Ive been with my partner for 5 years, lived togrther for two years and today we find out my c section date so baby boy will arrive any day. We only got engaged at Christmas. I didnt even expect it since i just presumed he wasnt fussed about marriage and neither was i lol. We dont plan on getting married untill at least the end of next year, and i havent been able to wear my ring since jan due to my tubby fingers haha. It will happen. A ring doesnt xhange anything in my opinion as long as ur happy xx

It will happen after 2 years with my boyfriend I was the same way and the 3rd year I really let it get to me and we had a lot of problems. We're on our 4th and I came to realize he loves me more than anything and no matter how much I want that ring on my finger and I know how much he wants to give it to me. I realized waiting is the best thing for us and just because he hasn't done it doesn't mean he never will. But yeah the hormones don't help sometimes.

It will happen. Just be patient or try to be lol. My husband and I didnt get married til a year ago when our son was 3. It takes a man a while to make that decision.
