BF has said on more than one occasion that he does not want to propose on my birthday. He said that proposals need to have their own separate celebration (or something along those lines). Anywho, my birthday is June 28, and he seems to be making a bigger deal out of this year than ever before. It's not a birthday with a 0 or a 5 at the end of it, so I'm not really sure what the big to-do is about. Plus, I'm going to be out of town on my birthday for a work conference, just like I was last year. I've told him numerous times I honestly don't care if we just go out to a nice dinner and call it a day. Money is super tight right now since we're moving in July, going to Cancun for a week in August, at some point will be getting engaged, and I just paid $1000 to the doctor's office for my allergy shots. No need for a big celebration. But he seriously INSISTS on pulling out all the stops for my birthday. He's insisted I send him a list of stuff I want, even after I told him I really don't want or need anything at the moment. He's made a point to ask about my favorite cake, helped me plan a big joint birthday celebration with a friend that he's insisted he'll pay for, and he keeps referencing how he's got surprises planned for me. He's also mentioned that money is really tight for him at the moment too, which it shouldn't REALLY be... he's always got some amount of surplus each paycheck because of how strictly he budgets. And he made a comment the other day about how difficult it is to surprise me since we live together and do just about everything together. He's said before he doesn't know how to slip away and do things outside of the house without me knowing. Since he's always been an online shopper, I asked what he would need to even be doing outside of the house, and he was like, "Oh, uh, shopping and stuff." OH! And he got really weird about having his gmail account open when I'm in the room, so she's obviously already ordered something, so I don't really know why he'd have to do physical, brick-and-mortar shopping. I told him to just tell me he was working late one night or something since lately he's been working late almost every night. PS: How funny is it that I'm telling him how to lie to me? lol
So, you know, that little voice inside of me is saying that he could be possibly planning a proposal and just lied about not doing it on my birthday to throw me off. Why else would he get all weird about my birthday when he never really has before? Of course, this is easily a recipe for a giant letdown, so I'm trying my absolute hardest not to expect anything. But seriously... am I reading too much into this?
