Do any of your SOs know you''re on ''The List''? lf so, what do they think about it?

[gwendolyn]

Just wondering, since when I tell James I''ve moved up on the list, he tends to get a bit worried and nervous that you ladies are all going to form some sort of mob against him to get him to propose to me. Even though he''s the one who''s ready to get engaged and I''m not quite yet! He''s silly.

Anyway, just wondering if any of your gents know about the list and feel one way or another about it. I tell J that it''s only for fun and shouldn''t make him feel any way at all since it''s our joint decision when we''ll get engaged, but he still worries about it. Tell me, is he alone?

 

[Clairitek]

I haven''t told my FI that I am on a list but he does know that I post regularly on this forum and that I''ve used it as a source of inspiration and information for not only our eventual wedding but my friend''s weddings as well.

 

[gladyskristen]

I have no idea what FF thinks. When I told him, all he said was "Haha, alright."

 

[Deelight]

When I was on the list my FI knew about it he would tease me about but as I told him it was just for fun .

 

[ckrickett]

My SO doesn''t know, and he would probably be confused. PS is my little secret getaway so I don''t over obsess and scare him away.

Same here. I forwarded him a link to PS a few weeks ago so he could brush up on his diamond knowledge. He just kind of rolled his eyes and said ok to get me off his back! I''m not actually on the list (I think it might jinx me...haha) but if he knew I posted in this forum he''d think I was a little crazy. Like ckrickett, PS is my secret getaway...

 

[purrfectpear]

Normally James would be right to be concerned as I have offered my services to LIW to send a "You Fail" letter to their BF''s.

In your case he''s safe. I know YOU are the foot dragger

 

[ftrfarklewr]

My bf knows I am on the list. He keeps asking me if when we do get engaged i''ll post my ring to the forum. Of course I will! Now, he wants to know the website so he can go on and read it. He kept saying, "is it pricequote.com? or priceline.com?", etc...it''s kind of funny. He was getting sad that I wouldn''t tell him or show him my posts so I finally showed him a few the other day. I think he things it''s cute.

 

[BlueSki231]

Haha no.. my guy doesn''t know and I don''t think I''m planning on telling him either. I''d most likely just get an eye roll..

I know he knows I look on this site to drool over pics (cause I''m always showing him pics on SMTR that are close to what I want).
But I don''t think he knows that I actually post!

 

[i_heart_cushions]

Yup. My guy knows. He is actually the one who showed me this site during his diamond research. He''s actually relieved that I have something to use to distract me until he gives me the ring. He just laughs at how dedicated I''ve been to this. He jokes that Pricescope is like my ****.

In fact, I am sure he relishes the times I spend on here. some nights, it goes something like this:

Me: "So, did you want to do something tonight?"
him: "sure...although, I was really hoping to watch the game/xbox/insert other random boy thing"
[him watching me tentatively to see if I''m annoyed]

me: "OKAY! I''m going to Pricescope!"
him [sigh of relief] *pats me on the head as I log on.

 

[CNYHopeful]

Yup, my SO knows. He gave that "oh, another silly girly thing...whatever floats your boat..." sort of looks. I explained to him there are at least 100 LIW''s ahead of me so the there''s no rush, I''ll wait my turn and he sort of nodded in confusion. That was the only time I brought it up. He seemed kind of confused by the whole concept.

At least he found the PS diamond calculator and simulation links interesting. He played around with those for a while. Don''t know if he''s visited since then, but i imagine when he''s ready for more serious ring shopping he might take another peak.

 

[SparklyLibra]

Yep he knows... He just rolls his eyes and laughs at me:

. He thinks it''s cute that I find ways to bide my time and often tries to sneak peaks when we''re both posted up on the sofa and I''m online... He says he feels pressured to "bring it" cause he knows my ring will be all up on PS once I finally get it!

Haha! You''re guy sounds like my guy... he showed it to me - calls it my **** (I call it diamond ****) - but now he''s trying to take it away. Sorry! I don''t take away PS3 or the crackberry - he doesn''t get to take this away!

He''s afraid it will dull the proposal - that I''ll have seen so many beautiful erings that I won''t be shocked and surprised and thrilled when he does pop the question - I guess in short, he''s afraid PS is stealing his thunder... I don''t think so - I know that I''ll be so used to thinking about it, but it not happening that when the time comes I''ll be a giddy as ever. In shock and awe that it wasn''t all a wonderful dream!

 

[Dreamgirl]

He knows about PS and that I post here. I don''t think I''ve told him about the list and that I''m on it.........he would think I''m crazy though..

 

[FrekeChild]

"Doesn''t mean anything to me."

I''ve been updating him every time I move up on it...he really doesn''t give a poo.

 

[redfaerythinker]

I''m not a LIW anymore but FI would always ask me about where I was on the list. He was really worried that i''d make it to # 1. Hehe. It was cute.

So, should *I* be worried about getting that letter?!

Aye, that''s how James is! I don''t know exactly what he thinks would happen, but he too is worried about what will happen if I get to numero uno.

 

[bee*]

D just thought that it the list was weird! I don''t think that he worried about it too much though.

 

[dragonfly411]

Mine knows for sure! LOL I sent him a link to this site. I don''t think he really cares as of right now.

 

[SailorsSweet<3]

My SO definitely knows. Hes happy I have somewhere to share my anticipation woes and is impressed with how much I''ve learned about diamonds in the past 3 months.(yay PS!) Sometimes he''ll say something cute.. did you post anything about this or that on pricescope? Hes definitely proud that Im here because of his future plans

 

[Mannequin]

My sweetie knows. If some lucky lady gets a ring and I move up in rank, he gets informed of the update. I tell him the proposal stories and some of the other stuff that gets posted here, and I''ve given him a link to this site for when he''s ready to start officially looking since RockyTalky is SO helpful.

 

[KatM]

I''m not on the list. If I were and he knew about it, his self-imposed pressure would cause an unbearable amount of anxiety. Needless to say, if I did join the list he would never know about it. To be honest, I think he''d be weirded out if he knew I even visited here.

 

[ladypirate]

Kris just keeps teasing me that he should make me wait until I hit number 1! What a stinker.

 

[princesss]

BF knows about PS and about The List. He also knows that I''m not on it...yet. I told him when I really feel like we''re ready, then I''ll put myself on. So every now and then he asks if I''m looking forward to being on the list.

 

[Bia]

Trust me when I tell you, he doesn''t worry about it...

He thinks its just another of my quirky, girly things. He pretends to pay attention when I talk to him about the LIW, but in all honesty, I don''t know that he "gets it."

LOL, Bia. Mine is the same way.

"Oh, a list? That''s nice dear." or "Oh, what a nice proposal. Good for her. Back to World of Warcraft now"

I don''t mind though. I know the LIW area gets some girls all in a tizzy, but it''s actually calmed me down. We have a timeline, and I''m comfortable with it. So here I wait.

I am on the list, but ditto to the rest. I really don''t think he would ''get'' PS in general, much less LIW. He''s not really a big internet message board type of person. He would probably think I was crazy - so I keep it to myself.

 

[ringless]

Um, no way... I wouldn''t hear the end of it! lol

Haha, my guy will ask me the same thing. He''ll be like "so, any new proposals? How are your''girls'' doing on PS today?!?" haha
