So he has proposed to you and you are now engaged, next thing your friends start asking when the wedding would take place, you have no idea(what!) one year passes, you are still moving around telling people you are engaged, the second year and no concrete plan, the third year, please remove that ring before it bores a hole on your finger!
There is a reason why it is called engagement, it is to show the world that you are taken and someone found you worthy to spend the rest of his life with you and you accepting says the same, it is not a consolation because he is not ready or he feels bad you guys have dated for a long time…Please it is best you are proposed to when there is a plan if not it will turn from engagement to engulfment and before you know it, years have gone by, suitors are looking another way because you were covered by the ‘engagement ring’ .
In those days our parents did not even need to wear a ring, they would just say a word and you can hold on to that for the next five years, please if any boy gives you just word now, hmm! should I say run or flee, please there should be a clear cut plan as to the wedding date and because engagement sadly sometimes don’t lead to marriage, you don’t want to wear a ring for a long time and later start explaining to people that it is over.
I am not saying every guy is bad but there are some real mean guys and sometimes an engagement ring might just be because he seem insecure and want no other guy to have eyes on you or to shut you up from disturbing him about marriage…
All I am trying to say is there is no need to wear and engagement ring for too long….May I just add that being in a relationship for too long also has its ups and downs, why stay in a relationship for 10 years? if you calculate very well, your first child could be writing common entrance/ graduating from primary school….What do you guys think? This is my opinion, what’s yours?
I’m laughing my guts out: ”First child writing common entrance”. Don’t wear the ring if there’s no plan in sight
