I went to my long-term BFs drawer yesterday to get a charger. Didn't find one, but folded under an old phone I DID find a receipt... for an engagement ring.
Settling down/marriage/kids has always been in the cards for us. We were both very upfront about what we wanted from the very beginning, and our relationship has been built on that.
HOWEVER... we haven't even been together a year. We moved in last month, sure, but that just seemed logical to me as we were both searching for a new place. I was thinking of giving it another year before we took the next step.
He hasn't asked at all yet, so maybe I'm jumping the shark. But if he were to ask soon idk what I'd say. I definitely don't want to say "no". More like "wait". There's also the idea that I could say yes, and just take a longer engagement. What could I, possibly say to him that wouldn't upset him? The last thing I want is to lose him.
