So frustrated and tired of waiting...

[maebelle]

I know this sounds selfish, but the other night I told him that I know he's looking to continue education and I said I didn't think it was fair to make me wait another 4 years, what do you think? I did point out ring alternatives and upgrading later but he hates this idea, he again, wants 'to do it right,'.....I don't know.

I don't understand the logic behind this statement. You want to be engaged so badly that you aren't willing to let him do something that would improve his career and therefore your future life together?

My SO is in med school, it costs a lot and takes forever, but he loves it. If I had told him "Sorry, we're getting engaged now or no school for you" (which I would never say!) I'm pretty sure I would have sent him running for the hills.
