We're so alike and have the same taste that it wasn't too hard to find a style that I think she'd like. We had discussed it on and off casually during our relationship, so I knew basically what she liked. But I pretty much picked out the ring all on my own, and apparently I picked the perfect one.
We went ring shopping together and the ring I fell in love with was the one he picked. Then he basically proposed right in the middle of Zale's because I didn't want to wait to get my ring but it was still totally perfect to me. Although I am happy that he knows me so well that he picked out an awesome ring. It just made me realize how much I love him... more than I already knew.
This should be an interesting bump.... I hadn't sent anything to you since mid-January because you hadn't sent me anything in reply. That's the way it works. I had no urgent need to communicate with you until your birthday, so that's why you didn't hear from me until then. You don't have to communicate with me if you don't feel like it, but by the same token you can't honestly knock me for not sending anything to you. The card shop's section for "birthday cards for wife who is in the process of divorcing you" was rather poorly stocked, so I had to adapt.... No, he didn't know that. I didn't get the final divorce decree until the day after I mailed the card. My lawyer is slow.... By way of explanation, to family I always sign my cards using the family relationship, as in "Love, your husband Ferdinand". Because Isabel was in the process of divorcing me, that didn't seem appropriate, so I came up with the rather unwieldy (although factually correct) appellation that I did. No - it was timed for your birthday. I'm sorry it disrupted things. I'll sign cards to you without any appellation for now on to avoid any future problems. Let me get this straight: the guy who sends you a birthday card is "creepy", whereas the guy who destroys said birthday card in a fit of jealous rage isn't? Uh, I don't think anything more needs to be said here, other than "I'd never date a jealous guy" is something else I'll have to add to the TTIOTMTTOTBNQT list.... Oh, and you should see the e-mail the new guy sent to me afterward.... Looking further down this thread, I'm glad you're taking the advice that I e-mailed you and are seeing a counselor (for background, during our relationship for years I asked Isabel that we go to counseling, but until near the end she always refused, saying "But what if the counselor thinks I'm the bad guy?"). I just wish you had done it years ago....
oooh...not taking sides or nothing, but the man's got a good point. p.s. when they feature you guys on Cops, i request that you wear a Rox jersey instead of the standard issue white wife beater.
Ya think? I'm going to go home and erase the clutchfans bookmark from my computer. God help me if my g-friend ever logs in and reads the crap I post here.
I think as a matter of decorum we shouldn't have couples fighting with each other here on CF.net. As a matter of entertainment though......
I've often wondered about that. My solution is that I try to make sure there is nothing I would ever write here that I wouldn't want publicly known.
So, I'm planning on getting engaged sometime this year...is there a maximum time to be engaged do you think? I mean, traditionally? I don't really mind being engaged for two years, in fact I'd love to be, but is that really weird? Also, I found my dream ring when I was at Sam's, it doesn't have a central diamond but 5 small ones lined up along the silver band. My heart skipped a beat when I saw it...it was so "me" and just gorgeous. It was 275 though, which seems kind of cheap for real diamonds. Anyone have experience buying a ring from like, Wal-Mart or Sam's? I don't want my finger to turn green or anything, but if the ring is decent quality, well then alrrright, kick ass! I just don't want it to fall apart in a year. Also, is it rude to only serve finger foods at a wedding instead of a 3 course meal? Seems like it's kind of a huge burden to feed 100 or 150 people, some you barely know. Also, is it important to have a live band or DJ? What if you just want to hook up the ol' iPod? Ok, I'm done. Not really relationship advice, but things I've been thinking about lately.
I could post about what a huge idiot I am, but luckily, it's only causing a lack of sex right now and nothing worse.
moe falls in a faint. I'm not sure about the time either. I guess it depends on how long it takes to plan for the wedding? You're a woman. You're supposed to know these things, not us!
Exactly. You're supposed to plan it, stress over your dress and bridesmaid dresses, go for fittings, and more fittings, decide who sits next to whom, proper invitations, a china pattern. All that stuff. Once you tell us the date, we just head to the rental shop for a tux and we're done.
dude are you serious? you sound like a woman...wedding ring is important and all that, but you sound like a chick going ga ga over it.
