When I became engaged, Dan asked me not to put it on Facebook or announce it to anyone other than immediate family. I did ask if I could tell my two aunts and he said ok.
The reasoning behing this was for the fact he has not said anything to his mom or brother as of yet (I've only met her three (3) times since we started dating). I have no problem with that.
Yesterday I went outside and the neighbor was over chatting with my parents. All of a sudden mom says to show Jenny my ring. I didn't want to but mom insisted.
I was not ready to say anything outside of the family. Hell, I haven't even told my two best friends of 40 years!
I guess I'm afraid that this will get out to a few others in the neighborhood and they will probably be expecting an invitation to the shower/wedding.
Mom has apologized twice but it still hurts. I have tried very hard to be quiet about this as I do respect Dan.
Am I wrong to feel this way??
