Thread: Coming out of Lurkdom.

Started 1 month, 1 week ago by hetshup
Ok, so lets try this again. Hi everybody, so I posted the other day, and had to delete due to privacy reasons. So anyways, here is my story. I am 25 and work in finance ( I swear I didn't fleece anyone!) my BF is 24 and is a pilot, so my job is far more stable than his and I also make considerably more. We have been dating 3.5+ years and I am CRANKY! I feel like it's one step forward and 3 ...

How do you know he ignores it? Does he say so? I would bet if you've talked about it some he may actually be cataloging what you say you like to try and find a setting he thinks you would like. As far as an Oct '10 date it is possible to plan a wedding in a shorter amount of time but I also don't know how quickly things book up in SoCal. What's is like to be with a pilot? Is he gone a lot? If ...

also - are you the one I called out the other day or was that someone else entirely? *Planning bio* | *Married bio*

Yes, ma'am. That was my actual e-mail address, so I didn't really want that out there. I did look up the google wave, it's far more complex then I think I could handle, of course I'm also a technical idiot. And being with a pilot, especially at the beginning of a career, is really not all it's cracked up to be. We actually live 40 min apart and he has lots of night flights. So right now it's...

Welcome! He may not be ignoring you. I will tell me BF something and I'll think he didn't hear me or ignore me so later if I repeat it sometimes he'll say "you told me that already". Well, you should have replied the first time I said it!! LOL. On the other hand, I'll mention something that I think he ignores and months later he'll bring it up or mention something about it. I guess guys ...

Ok cool - if you decide to delete your other response in my thread it's cool since it does still have your e-mail addy in it. I gave the answer I wanted to give to you in there anyway. I still think he probably has taken what you told him you like into account when he does eventually go shopping for rings. When DH and I were dating we lived 2 hours away from each other - he moved here before we...

Hi! I think you should try to keep in mind that guys often need to do things their own way or at least in their own time. It's not that they aren't listening to us and what we want, but they need to feel like they have some choice in what they do when. It's like when I visit my mom and I'm helping with dinner. If I get to choose what I contribute, I'm much happier than if she stands over my ...

Everything desertsun said! Also, if you possibly can, I think you should refrain from bringing up engagement/wedding stuff to him. If you've lurked the boards you've probably heard of "bean dip," and it sounds like he's bean dipping you HARD here. Personally, it made me wig out and become SO less close to ready for marriage when my boyfriend brought up wedding stuff. Now that I can think ...
