I haven't been on this board very much and I try to not come to the knot too often since we most likely won't be getting married until December 2013. My boyfriend and I are not officially engaged, although we tend to view ourselves as such. He has had the ring since December, but my parents want him to wait until the summer to officially propose. He was originally going to do it this summer. My parents really like him, but aren't ready for us to be engaged yet. We are both undergraduate students currently and plan on getting married when I finish school. We have been together 3 and a half years.
Recently I have been struggling a lot with being content with out situation and where I am in life. It's hard when we view our relationship one way but feel we cannot be completely honest and open with everyone about how we feel. If you guys could pray for me and us that would be great. We are really trying to honor my parents wishes and be content with being together as a dating couple, but it can be difficult to focus on the good. Thanks
