Just had to share this little story with you girls. My SO is just so sweet sometimes.

Update - the ring is almost ready to ship, going to be put into our safe until he pops the question (torture!!!)

So, yesterday my crappy old car blew up and we need to get a new one. Just when I have spent all the $$$ on a ering! I feel so selfish, as we went over our budget by nearly $1000 (which he was totally comfortable with). I keep thinking that I could have a car with that money, and I feel really bad that my baby is doing on-call work to get overtime when I have had my heart set on the perfect ering.

Anyway, when I got home last night I burst into tears at the prospect of buying another car. Don''t get me wrong, we can totally afford it, but I guess I have the guilts at spending a lot of money on me. It''s not something I do often, and I am never really comfortable about it. So, I was bawling that we could have a car much easier if I hadn''t of wanted the ring and the bad devil was getting me back for wanting something so , I don''t know, shallow (for want of a better word). He just grabbed my face, looked into my eyes and told me that I was being silly, it had nothing to do with the ring, and that I totally deserve my ring and every cent we spent on it. He said actually you deserve a D IF diamond baby - how sweet, he has even learn something from PS. ( I mean, he already bought me a D VS2 ACA!) He made it clear that he is happy to do overtime as long as I am not miserable about the ring and the money. I have always known he is an incredible guy, but sometimes he just takes me by suprise at how sweet and thoughtful he really is.

Just had to share with you ladies!! The ring should be here next week, so hopefully I won''t have to wait too long. I really hope he isn''t waiting for our 12 year anni in July - I will DIE!!!!
 
Honey -- How sweet! You are a lucky girl!

I can''t wait to see the pics of your ring.

Oh how sweet!! And good luck in finding a car! That can be tough.
 
Oh honey what a sweetie you have there, sounds like a keeeper :D
Another old timer here as well (10 years in April), I hope he does not make you wait too long either :)
 
Thanks guys, yep I am pretty lucky.

It''s nice to know there are some more ''old-timers'' out there - makes me feel like there are others who understand my situation. Although I have waitied a long time to become engaged, I am so glad at the ways things are going between us and after everything, I am glad we waited to get to that place in our relationship. We also got together so young (5 days before my 18th birthday), so I guess it''s different than if I had been say 25 when we met. I dunno, I just know I am a happy girl.

I am so hoping before July too, but if that''s what he wants, that''s fine. I have absolutely promised him not to hassle him or ask about the ring. I cheekily told him the other day it''s time I learn how to open the safe. He said, yes! Come here and I will show you. Well I am thinking, what a duffer he is, now I will be able to sneak a peaky when I want to!! He took me in the room with the safe in it and said : ok, now when you want to open the safe you just have to.... come and ask me and I will be more than happy to get out whatever you need !! Bummer, he''s not as slow as I thought!!

I seriously LOL''ed out loud over that one, nice try though, sounds like something my BF would do to me cheeky buggers :)

I agree it is nice to know others are out there, in my parts I feel like the odd one out. I meet my BF just after I turned 18 as well so that does impact on the amount of time together. People do tend to look at you weirdly when they find out how long you have been together and are not married but for us it has been good in the last 9 and 10 months we have had time to sort out kinks and really get to be in a happy and good stage of life.

All good things come to those who wait :) but he better not make you wait too long I wanna see this beautiful ring :) and Sparks as well :).

Lets hope it is before July :)
