Search Results: engagement

Wether as a marketing page for their own business, or because they have a blog/are influencers/work with social media otherwise, suppose your significant other runs an instagram page and that the engagement rate has an impact somehow on their career or on the sale of whatever they sell.
Do you try to be supportive by liking their posts? how often?

For the last 3 months he's been asking me about weddings and engagements and rings. Last night to be cute, he proposed in the kitchen as "practice". Except he called me by the wrong name. He called me his ex from 5 years ago who cheated on him with his best friend. I tried to brush off how hurt i was but he made the mistake of apologizing profusely and saying he knew my name, but then messed up my middle name 2x more. At that point, I lost it. When we woke up, we hugged and made up but heart hurts so much. I dont want to go home to him. I think we need a break now.

I would PREFER to move in once engaged (assuming the engagement lasts anywhere from 3-6 months, I personally feel thats long enough to understand each other's living style). If i didn’t wait til engagement, I probably wouldn't agree to live with someone until at least a year or more of dating. At this stage in my life, I don't know if i’d still wait that long but thats how i felt back then

My boyfriend KINDA proposed to me last week. By that I mean, I knew it's been coming for awhile. He's always said we were gonna get married, but within the past like month he's had me picking out rings that I really legitimately liked and wanted.
Finally our 4 year anniversary came, and he sat me down and had me pick out a ring off of brilliant earth. Had me pick out the size, cut, colors clarity, setting, EVERYTHING.
Which was a double edges sword. I ended up picking a $1,800 ring, kinda feel bad. But everytime I tried to skimp on the diamond size or the setting he caught me and demanded I not worry about the price.
So I picked out the one I truly wanted finally, and it's absolutely beautiful. It's a little under a half carat, but I have pretty small dainty hands so it looks perfectly large on me which I like. I'm in love with it.
My boyfriend is not happy with it. He said it's too small and expected bigger. (However I also went with lab grown, so I think he just doesn't understand the price of diamonds well?)
Anyway, he ended up showing me some 0f the ones HE was looking at on his own, and it made me pretty glad I ended up picking it out. They were just... not my taste, not even a little bit. I mean I would have been happy just to get one! I'm certain of that, but now that I've picked my own out, I'm pretty glad.
My mom said she went through the same thing. When she married my step dad, he got her a used pawn shop engagement ring. That in itself wasn't the problem. She was still overjoyed to have it. But it just wasn't her taste. She never said anything. Honestly up until I told her that my boyfriend had me pick out my ring, she had never said ANYTHING about not liking it. But she said she just didn't like gold rings, and wasn't a fan of the setting. The diamond was beautiful though. So recently when the diamond fell out and she had to have it reset, she was secretly kinda happy.
Would you like to pick your own ring or does it take out out romance?
