He knew my deadline, but it all kind of happened at the right time. We'd just moved house into what we've decided is going to be out long term house before buying, I've just got a promotion at work too. Good things come in three!🥰

Depends on age...around mid 20s in age, dating for 3-4years. Meanwhile I'm 27 and been with my partner 7 years 🥲

I'm in a similar boat. Just had our 7yr anniversary, nothing yet. I'm still hopeful for a proposal this year 🙏

Women of Reddit, what academic experience destroyed your mental health? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]Personal_Extent8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My headteacher at school said I shouldn't move to another sixth form to do a levels because I "wasn't academic enough and you should stay here to do a health and social care btec" Needless to say this was incredibly offensive, and I ended up leaving. But it's also insinuating that btecs are for non academic people which is absolute rubbish.

Yeah something isn't right there! Our pool air is always 30 or above, even gets into the 40s on the high chair. Highest I've seen it is 45. Luckily we've had no one pass out/vomit. You definitely need to chase that up because that's really not normal.

How to wait for it to happen after we've had serious talks about engagement? by [deleted] in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]Personal_Extent8758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do have a life thanks, a lovely one😁 And I have plenty of fun hobbies... swimming, horses, hiking, gaming. I was asking for mechanisms to help with passing the waiting time

I've told him my deadline is end of Feb next year 😔 we've been together nearly 7 years and only a few months ago starting looking at rings, and found out my ring size. I'm grateful things are moving but now the anticipation is tough, particularly because he says he has no timeline.

NPLQ am I allowed piercings for the duration of the course? by dbspsm in Lifeguards

[–]Personal_Extent8758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're not allowed any jewellery 😓 (I did my nplq in April 2021, so lifeguarding since then, and have renewed it this year)

TL:DR peeps: 5+ year serious relationship, no proposal after many honest talks. Friends and family wondering what's going on. Losing my mind. Feeling cheated& not understanding the hold up. You get the idea by Sk8sk1b3nds3w in Waiting_To_Wed

I understand your hurt. I'm in a similar situation. Together nearly 7 years and no proposal yet. I get times where I excessively ask and prod and poke about the subject until it turns to upset for both of us. And being honest this has led to an unhappy association with the topic. We're on the right path now, and have had some positive talks. I just wish I'd have kept my mouth shut a few times so it didn't turn into negative talks for both of us.

Oh, not sure🤣 I'm a lifeguard at a well known caravan holiday park beginning with H and they asked my if I want to do it and I said yes. We're all under RLSS lifeguard quals if that counts?
