hi ladies!!
it''s been ages since I''ve posted so I thought i would say hello and let everyone know i''m still here.
so bf and I have been doing better (my last post was about him getting my hopes up right before my b-day asking me what my ring size was-I ended up getting a birthstone ring to match my necklace).
we still aren''t living together which is pretty stressful on me b/c i''m spending about 890/month for my apt only to live there about 8 days a month!! the rest of the time I''m at his house. when I pointed this out to him a while ago-he excuse was that if me and the kids (I have 3 girls from previous marriage) were to live w/him full time-he''d do stir crazy and have to move out of his house!! this comment of course hurt my feelings so I made myself scarce for several days (including not staying at his house). this seemed to work b/c he came back apologizing and said he''s just scared to give up that last little bit of freedom he has (he has said in the past about other stuff-not us that he likes having the option of backing out of things which worries me). I told him I wouldn''t wait around forever b/c it wasn''t fair to me or the kids.
Just yesterday while on our way to the lake for a day trip (just me and him. I don''t have the kids every other weekend fri-wed), he mentioned that with us both working full time we could probably pay his house off within the next 5-8 years. I jokingly (but not really meant as a joke) that I wasn''t working my tail off to pay for a house that wasn''t mine and that I didn''t live in. He then said "Don''t you think I know that?" It will be your house too really soon. I was happy but didnt get my hopes up too high. He''s been referring to his spare bedrooms as the girls'' rooms for quite some time now and has even started buying groceries that only the kids and I will eat.
We are going to back home (Chicago-his hometown) for his stepsister''s wedding this upcoming May and I''m hoping it gets him in the mood to propose!! His dad is SO excited that I''m coming-he paid for my plane ticket!! We also talked about this b/c his parents are divorced and we normally stay w/his mom and stepdad when we come out (the wedding is on his dad''s side-his dad''s 2nd wife''s daughter). His stepdad is weird about us sleeping in the same room together b/c we aren''t married (eventhough we are both 29 years old!!). As we were boating across the lake he said "we should go to dinner one night, I''ll get down on one knee and ask you to marry me, you''ll say yes and then I can say we are sleeping in the same room now." I laughed but told him it would make me the happiest woman on earth. He smiled at me and said he knew and he loved me-but it ended there. I sometimes hate when he does stuff like that!!
his dad mentioned we could stay at his house w/him and I told bf it was up to him (he just nodded). His dad loves me and is always telling my bf that he better propose to me soon or he''ll lose me and it will be the biggest mistake of his life. So I''m sure bf isn''t looking forward to having his dad and stepmom (who also loves me) hound him about asking me!!
(sigh) why does this always drive me crazy!! I know I will enjoy the wedding w/out getting upset but a small part of me is going to be so jealous-they have only dated a year (it''s been 3 for me)!! does anyone else feel like it''s never going to happen like I do?!!!
and I wonder-was the joke about him asking me a test to see how I reacted?
MEN!! they drive us crazy-but we love them anyways right?!!
