Sure, within days of me complimenting you (on another thread) about how well you are handling things with the doctor, I read this... LOL My jaw dropped. The girls have already clued you in but even as I guy I was like, what is he doing? I honestly thought the real truth is that you want to get engaged. Is that possible? If not you didn't think this through at all - which I have to say, when i do give you crap, it's often after you say something that appears you gave zero thought to. Have you been told that before? Do you just blurt things out without thinking?

She's clearly going to be thinking a ring is around the corner. I hope you don't feel obligated now. She may still be the one and a great woman - I just don't think you can be sure of that this soon. Today it's "Oh baby, whatever you want I am fine with" while she has her rose colored glasses still on. She's still so infatuated with you that everything is all rainbows and butterflies, but that is rare to last - with "You don't understand me and why do we always do what you want to do" coming up down the road. You guys have serious life discussions to have some huge heart to hearts on before ring styles come up - although I guess that ship has sailed - or at least has started boarding. I hope she's not disappointed at Christmas. Just in case, I'd think about NOW - think it through before you say it - letting her know that you really want to keep going with her and see a future but it's still too soon. Don't tell her this unless it comes up - but after this weekend, something tells me it might come up.
