I couldnt help myself

So I wasnt exactly snooping but i didnt have to look...

I have been with my bf for 6 years and hes the biggest procrastinator so even though i have been bugging him about getting engaged forever i didnt even think he would have even started looking yet.

We were just hanging at home and browsing at some things on the laptop when he got up to go get ready for work. We closed all the windows we were looking at but he handed his computer to me to use for whatever that evening and it was open to his email. I dont snoop in his email, i dont even know the password because ive never asked for it, but just glancing on the first page i saw the subject line said diamond on one of the emails. I put the computer down as soon as i saw and started freaking out, i was going to just leave it and walk away but i just couldnt do it so i opened the email. Turns out he bought the ring! He is having it custom made and the jeweller was emailing him back and forth on a few things and confirming receipt. I feel horrible for looking at the email but i couldnt help it i was so excited.

So if he got it in January then it could be any time now.

I am so excited that i can hardly think of anything else, i really never thought he would have started to look because he always changes the subject when i talk about it.

Anyways i had to share my excitement!!

Am i wrong for looking at the email??????

I'm really against snooping. I think it is kind of mean- these poor guys go to all this effort to surprise us and we snoop and take it away from them. Having said that, you can't forget what you saw. My advice is to act totally normal, not extra happy or excited or anything. And we he does propose, you'd better be able to win an Oscar for your response!

Congrats

I also tend to be anti snooping...however I agree that you can't unsee what you've seen. Amc said it best, practice your oscar face of holy surprise and do your best not to act differently in the mean time. If he finds out you know, he very well may put it off longer in order to try and regain the element of surprise.

I also think if you don't tell him (and really don't feel you should) that you need to never tell him you knew. It'll totally deflate his idea of how his plan went down which isn't fair to him since you were the one who snooped.

Goodluck! I hope it's soon so you don't have to hold in your feelings for too long. Be VERY careful in the coming weeks/months not to bring this up accidentally in a fight or anything, it will not help.

I will definitely never ever bring this up to anyone!! well except the ladies here. It would really upset him he knew but he has been hinting at the fact that he has bought it. I should have had more control and not opened the email but it was just staring me in the face... its not like i went looking for it. Oh well its done now and i will be surprised no matter what because i have no idea when he would propose.
