even more stupid than when I put palmolive soap in BF's dishwasher. i debated sharing this story because of how embarrassed I am, but hell, why not.
So... I almost joined the recent group of newly engaged ladies. Last week BF suggested we go to the community theater that weekend because a new show was starting and it was the last one out of all the tickets I bought at a benefit. I usually am the one to order seats when we go to the theater but I usually do it on the day of the show. It's just a community theater and it doesn't normally sell out unless its the Christmas show. Well we wanted to go to the Saturday show and by Friday when he realized I still hadn't bought the tickets he was kind of upset. I tried to call right then to get them but they were closed so I just figured we would get them before the show on Saturday. NBD as far as I'm concerned.
Also, my (single) friend was celebrating a promotion and I went out to the local bars which I very rarely do. I was having so much fun and ended up staying out til midnight then going to her house to hang out some more (we couldn't stop chatting!) until around 2 I realized time to go home (or to BF's house). Well he was pretty upset when I walked in the door at 2:20AM. He ended up spilling the beans that he had planned to propose at the theater the next day and that he didn't appreciate how I had treated the weekend (partying til 2 and neglecting to order tickets for the theater). Well then I was terribly mad that he had told me all this and afterall, how was I suppoesd to know he would propose? I had NOOO idea!
Talk about bad timing. The next morning was so akward. I was kind of hung over, which is just entirely out of character for me and he was feeling hurt too. The whole weekend was an emotional wreck. Then on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon his family and friends were texting or calling all day trying to find out if I had said yes. He basically just told them that I couldn't get the tickets so he would have to try again.
We talked about it over the weekend, sometimes it escalated into an argument but ultimately we were able to forgive each other and admit our mistakes. He ended up buying me roses and chocolate chip cookies to apologize and I tried to put my mind out of it, but I have felt weird ever since. I'm not even upset that I'm not engaged right now, it's just how everything went down. Can anybody help me feel better? Has anyone ever had something happen with their SO that compares? I know a lot of people have been with their BF/FI/H a lot longer than I have so how do you get past something like this?
