My bf is wonderful and he bought the perfect ring for me about two months ago and showed it to me. He figured this would make for sure he bought the right one for me (in case you don't know he bought it on SUPER SALE and it became non-refundable once the sales was over) and to ease my mind in letting me know he was serious about marriage.
This was sweet of him and the ring is perfect. But, I know where it is and I have to fight with myself not to go look at it and it hasn't been sized down to fit me yet (from a 7 to 5 1/2). I know that with the warranty he got they do free sizing for life and he wanted to wait until I was done losing weight to be sure he got the right size, but I've been at my goal weight for a month and he still hasn't had it sized. It takes 2 weeks to get it back after you send it out for sizing. So I keep thinking to myself at least two more weeks. lol
I know I need to put it out of mind and that he probably has a great surprise for me but I'm dying! It is so hard to know it is just sitting there and still not on my finger.
Anyone in the same boat? Anyone with advice to get it out of my mind?

I don't know how you can get your mind off it, because I would have a very hard time with that myself! I would say that every time you think of it or have the desire to go look, call a friend you haven't talked to in a while, sit down to watch a movie/show you have been meaning to watch, or come on here and tell us! Try getting your mind off of it with fun things in the moment that it comes up.
When you first get engaged, life is really great... for a week or two at the max. Then you start actually planning the wedding, and the hearts and rainbows fade and you're left with frustration and the desire to go back to your pre-engaged days so you can enjoy the anticipation all over again. Trust me. The other engaged girls will back me up. This is what happens. I'm jealous of you right now.

Hahaha this one could do the trick!
And <a href="http://community.theknot.com/cs/ks/user/default.aspx?membershipid=4734036482140857&plckUserId=4734036482140857" target="_blank" class="username_knot">csousa1</a> I was a little irritated at first but I know he meant well. But its seriously hard! I keep telling him to send it to get resized now and then hide it from me when it gets back! But, he has some plan he says! UGH lol

I picked out my ring and was there when he purchased it. It didn't bother me or ruin the experience.
I haz a planning bio
222
Married to my best friend, making our way together through this crazy, mixed-up thing we call life.
I'm assuming he'll propose while we're in Russia but who knows. I'm excited but I AM NOT dwelling on it. I think I've been holding in the excitement pretty well
I mean he could have just bought me a pony, right? I've always wanted a pony.
[QUOTE]I know BF has already bought the ring. He showed me the bank account after he purchased it lol. We just about to combine our accounts so he knew I would see when he bought it, so he went ahead and showed me. I THINK I know what it looks like...but we'll see.

I'm not in the same situation, but this would drive me insane. My boyfriend and I have discussed what I want, nothing too elaborate, but I have no clue when it's coming and I want to keep it that way.
