Another friend has got engaged.

I'm so happy for her, but I could cry. They've not been together long

How long is not long?

I genuinely don't have many friends in relationships so I manage to avoid a lot of this luckily..! Big hugs HBS x

About seven months

She found out she was pregnant the week after she got engaged a very happy month I don't envy her that though, I don't want kids!

I think it happens when it happens. For us, OH was always worried about buying me a ring. I told him one from argos would do for me, but to him, the idea of not getting me one from a jewellers killed him.

He had a huge big plan involving a hotel, dinner and all that malarky but instead we were in a bar, and he asked me to go to the roof top bar with him. We bought a cocktail and snuggled on these huge big arabian bed type things they have and he just came out with it!

I was beginning to lose my patience a little but I'm so glad I kept my big trap shut!

I'm going to join in with you lot. Been with OH 3yrs in a few weeks time. He's always said he never wants to get married, baby due in January so I've told him either he promises to marry me or baby gets my surname. I appear to have worn him down though as he's now agreed to a 3yr(!!!) wait, says we have o save or a house first. I looked up locations today and found a lovely castle venue for the ceremony (30 people only for 30-60mins) and found a venue for a larger reception afterwards too. Told him about it and for once didn't get the usual response of "I'm never getting married" instead got "I thought we agreed to wait 7(?!?!?) years."
We have a wedding to go to this weekend and I can already feel the hormones playing me up thinking "why isn't this me" but the bride did wait 10years and no kids yet.
I've decided if he hasn't asked me by the time our daughter is born then I shall ask him myself I just want a date set now he's decided it's ok, but he doesn't seem to realise he needs to do the proposing bit, eugh men!
I should probably add this is the same bloke who I organise fantastic surprise birthdays for, yet 2 weeks later he forgets to book a restaurant for my birthday. He's just not programmed like that.

He's a guy! Learn to not expect anything for your birthday and you won't be disappointed. If he does get you a card/pressie then it's a bonus :rotfl:

Long time since I've been here.

We split up and I'm glad we did, because it became more and more apparent to me that I meant very little to him. It wasn't just marriage that was at the bottom of his priorities but our entire relationship. Not only did we split up but, I met someone else not too long after. I wasn't looking for a relationship at all but that's where I found myself, it was only supposed to be a bit of fun. And now, I'm engaged to that other man. Funny how things turn out.
