Hi!
I''m new-ish. I''ve been enjoying the support from all of you wonderful ladies and enjoying drooling over all of the gorgeous rings here for quite some time now!
From a previous post, some of you may know that my BF has a commitment issue. He acts and talks as if we will someday, eventually, be married...but for the moment it''s too much for him to deal with. Last winter I went a bit bonkers with the "I need real commitment from you" thing and it was just plain not fair to him. Since then I''ve been really good and have become very, very independent. Since being more on my own, less openly affectionate, he''s become a lot more affectionate. I''ve stopped using "we" or "ours" and have gone to "my" and "yours", etc., and found that he calls everything ours (even my cat, and he HATES her!). He''s become a little more clingy, too.
So, to the dust. I am pretty well obsessed with ERings (as...pretty much all of us on this board are!) and I love finding deals. I just found the most freaking amazing deal on the perfect ring! I''ve never asked for any present ever in our 3.5 years. I''ve hinted a little, but never asked, and never received. On top of that, BF thinks jewelery is a WASTE of money....which it kinda can be... but this is a deal of a lifetime!! And I know he can afford it.
Should I ask for it? Would that be too much pressure? I''d take it as a RHR, I don''t care! It''s just too beautiful.
So maybe some dust if you think I should ask!
