Found diamond ring... but no proposal!

Hey,,

Well here goes, this has been frustrating me for the past 3-4 weeks!

I went on a Snowboarding holiday with the other half last week in Feb/First Week in March.

One of the days we were theyre, I went back to the apartment with a headache and left him on the slopes.

I couldn't find the medical bag, thought it might be in his suitcase so decided to have a look.

Only I didn't just find the medical bag but a diamond ring..

Got all exited put it back - not wanting to spoil the suprise!

Only there was no suprise.... and still hasnt been.

We've been together 3 years.

Now i'm really frustrating and agonizing over why he hasn't proposed? I'm reluctant to say anything i case he has something planned, but every day he doesn't it just frustrates me more!

What should i do?

    Absolutely nothing.

  • The act of proposing isn't as easy as you might think. Wait - he may have not found the right moment yet. Oh, and just because you thought it was the right moment doesn't mean it was right for him.

    Do nothing

    I agree you should wait until he is ready.

    I have to agree with everybody saying don't do anything! It obviously wasn't the right time for him and he has clearly giving quite a bit of thought to his proposal (hence the exact right ring you found) and wants the moment to be just as special.

    I am assuming you will say yes when the time comes and you already know he is half way there and has done OK so far with the choices he has made ( about you and the ring!) so give him time and he will finish the job perfectly I'm sure.

    How exciting! So try to just enjoy the anticipation and don't spoil his surprise x
  • Just wait hun I'm sure it will be well worth it :)

    Good luck

  • maybe he is looking after it for a friend ?

    or maybe he new you found it and is now waiting for you to stop hoping.
  • Have you seen "Love Actually"?

    Thats exactly what i thought - Can you imagine,poor girl :eek:
    Having a coke with you
    is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irun, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
    or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
