Need to put my patient pants on

BF is driving me crazy! I've mentioned a few times on here that we're celebrating my birthday this upcoming weekend since I'll be out of town on my actual birthday (6/28). BF has insisted on making my birthday into this grand affair, and he keeps taunting me about how he's got surprises planned for me as well. He brings it up daily, and I feel like I'm going to explode from excitement/impatience soon. Ahhhhhh! He's got one of our friends helping him, and she's apparently been texting him non-stop for 2 weeks about my birthday. I figure it's gotta be something pretty significant if he's recruited help and if she's THAT excited about it, but it seems too obvious to be a proposal. I don't think he would get us a dog right now either... we're moving in a month, so it would be really difficult to get a puppy, try and train him in one apartment and then immediately move him into another one, plus pay for the pet deposit on top of all the other moving expenses, you know? But at this point, I don't know what else it could be. I don't know what else he would need help with and what else would get our friend so excited... especially since she's notorious for not texting ever, and suddenly she's texting him non-stop. Sneaky McSneakersons over here.

He told me this morning he's not sure when he's going to give me my gift. He said he wants to wait for the right moment, and he thinks the big all-day event we have planned for Saturday will result in me getting too drunk. He said he definitely wants me sober when he gives me my gift. lol so now I'm going to be a saint and closely monitor my alcohol intake on Saturday. :-P He said he may give me gift on Sunday too... we're going to a family birthday lunch on Sunday with both of our families. My sister is apparently even coming up from Austin, which is about 3 hours away. But yeah, at this point, I genuinely have no idea what he's planning, but it sounds like it will end up being something big, and he can't resist the build up. 

It's just crazy to me how all of a sudden my birthday has become this big event and he's making such a huge deal about it when he never has before. He loves taunting me too. He gets this big shit-eating grin on his face when he talks about how happy I'll be with his surprise, and he smiles even more when he jokes about making me wait until after my birthday for my gifts. This kid, I swear!

If he would keep his mouth shut, I'd be a lot more chill. lol. I'm grateful and overwhelmed by all the love from friends and family this year (26 really isn't that big of a birthday, so I'm also confused by the sudden outpouring of love), and I know that no matter what, it's going to be a great weekend. I just need the weekend to get here already!

Re: Need to put my patient pants on

  • YES! That's precisely what it is. :)

  • I think he's just really excited about it, so he may not realize just how chatty he is. He's always thoughtful for holidays and birthdays, but he's never been quite this excited about them. He's definitely driving me nuts, but it's also endearing to see him so excited about it. But yes, at this point, I really need him to just shut up. lol

    He actually asked me a few hours ago what length necklace chain I wear. I asked if he just gave away his big surprise, and he said no... but apparently a necklace will be involved somehow. He's definitely a goober.

  • PONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry, that's all I got. BF has told me 2/3 times so far this year that the proposal is coming this year. But i have zero clue when and sometimes it drives me nuts. I KNOW he won't do it on my birthday (which already passed anyhow) or any other holiday so that really leaves just about every other freaking day open. So I feel your pain. 
    But really...can't it be a real live, breathing, pooping, pony???? I really want that to be what he got you. I was just crying to BF on Saturday that I don't have a project horse to work with (mine got snatched up while I'm recovering from surgery on my wrist, so I don't know what I'm gonna do now) so I need to live vicariously through others. TELL HIM TO BUY YOU A PONY!

  • I agree that he needs to stop teasing you with info/no info - - but at least it's only a few more days, then you will know for sure!  Maybe as little as 72 hours!  It sounds like it will be a fun time regardless! 

    If my ring doesn't come in to the jeweler before next week I'm going to lose it!  They told SO 7-10 days and it's been 15 already! Grrr!  I'm ready to at least see it completed even if I'm not sure I'm ready to be out of the closet on this ;-)

    I can't remember, is your BF one who is holding onto a ring you know about or not?

  • @beanbot2002 Awww I'm sorry your pony was snatched up :( That's no fun! And I really hope your BF becomes your FI soon! We definitely are in similar situations in that regard, but at least we both know it's guaranteed to happen soon. Just have to learn to be patient... heh. 

    @Kelani23 I hope your ring comes in soon! My mom gave BF the ring my dad gave her when he proposed. BF used to keep it out in the open on his nightstand, but it's not there anymore. I don't know how or if we'd use the diamond from that ring though. I'm still fairly certain it's NOT a proposal, but he keeps dropping these crazy hints that suggest otherwise. So yes, if he'd just be quiet about it, I wouldn't obsess over everything he says so much. 

    I'm sorry I keep obsessing over it on here!

    Here's the thing though. Whether he becomes my FI sooner or later...we're still in this for life. So that could happen at any point and other than the whole getting married part, it won't change a whole lot. I mean, shit...we have babies sooooo... deep breaths though. 
    Find a hobby! Not only will it take your mind off things, but you'll learn something new.

  • Oh yeah, I definitely agree. We don't have kids, but we're definitely in this for life and very little will change once we're engaged/married. I just know it's coming soon, and him dropping hints like that is making me go crazy. I know that whatever he has planned for my birthday will be great, and whatever he has planned for the proposal will also be great. 

    I did get on to him a bit last night though. He was on the wedding planning subreddit and started asking about our registry, and I told him that while I'm happy he's thinking that far ahead, we're missing a very crucial step there. He said he was working on it and then changed the subject lol. I just know that if he starts talking about wedding planning, I'll go even crazier until he proposes.

  • I can't help but laugh a little reading this.  I get so excited when I'm proud of myself for a gift I've found for FI, I end up totally just giving it away and showing him!!  Sounds like your BF is having a hard time keeping the secret too.

    Hope your birthday present is everything you want

    Yeah, it's both endearing and annoying... but mostly endearing. :)
