Engaged
I am not yet engaged
and to be honest
I have no idea when
and if
it will happen
He says it will happen
he talks about our future
he talks about our wedding
but
we are not yet engaged
and it's driving me
CRAZY
I need to relax
yes I know that
yes my friends have all
told me that
but it's hard
do you remember
this feeling?
I remember it
I hated it 11 years ago
and I hate it even more
now
I just want to know that my
future will be with him
although I of all people
know that an engagement does not
secure a future with anyone
PROPOSE ALREADY!
Maybe I should turn off wedding Day on WE

Slow and Steady wins the race!!
I can relate to your impatience, but I think it's good for the boys to grow closer to him and for him to understand 'your' family dynamic fully before taking that next step. I have no doubt that you and T and the boys will live happily ever after.
Are you watching that? Stop torturing yourself! I'm impatient too, and I'm already married!!!!
He'll propose. Probably when you stop thinking he will. :o)
Both times I didn't ask for a proposal, but I did make it clear that I wasn't the living together indefinitely type. Men, of course, will propose when they are ready but you are entitled to have feelings and know what you want and be unhappy or whatever if you don't know where you stand. That's part of relationships. Speaking up and be true to what is important to you. It's not about relaxing. It's about knowing the other person understands why you feel the way you do about needing certain things defined. Some of us are unstructured and take it as comes and some of us need outlines and schedules.
I understand how you feel.
awww, dont rush it:))
Aw, I would feel the same way. It's kind of like one of my favorite movie lines of all time. It's at the end of When Harry Met Sally, and he says to her, "when you've found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, you want the rest of your life to begin as soon as possible." (The clip is on YouTube if you want to search for it!)
No words of wisdom...just wanted to let you know I understand. But yes, definitely stop watching wedding shows!
Don't rush him. I bet he's planning a huge romantic event that will make it all perfect. You know - dinner by candlelight under a starry night (not that you'd see it due to light pollution), a walk through the park (if that's allowed at night where you are), a quiet spot under a flowering tree, he'd hand you a bread roll, you'd bight into it, and find something metal inside, removing it from your mouth you find an exquist diamond ring (of which the diamond will now be in your stomach) which will signify his undying love for you and that he wants to spend the remainder of his life with you and the boys, your eyes will tear up (not only because of the moment but also because you've just realised that the diamond didn't enter your gut but is instead lodged in your throat), he puts his arms around you (at which point he forces your stomach inwards in an effort to dislodge said ring), you cough it up (complete with phlegm and bits of bread and what have you), he takes said diamond from your mouth and places it in the diamond holder of the ring which completes it despite dripping with mouth contents.
Like I said, romantic evening.
"Maybe I should turn off wedding Day on WE"
Ha ha! Ya big goof! Next thing you'll be watching Baby Story. Yikes!
I disagree. I think you should leave Wedding Day on all the time and tell T that you can't do certain things because you have to watch Wedding Day and it wouldn't work to record it. I also think you should squeeze the word "engage" into conversation as often as possible and even to an awkward extent. "I didn't find that movie very engaging. Did you find it engaging, T? Should we have dinner? Would that be engaging? I don't want to have pork chops. They aren't very engaging."
It'll happen and the waiting is the hard part, but it'll be special when it does. Let him do it on his own time...you know it's coming: ) We're eagerly waiting along with you and cheering for your happily ever after: )
i'm here b - reading along... sorry i've been quiet lately. thinking of you and will check in offline soon.
