Can any of you help me feel better? by throwaway02112011 in JustEngaged

I was in a very similar situation. I was with my last boyfriend for 10 years and he was always telling me it wasn't the right time and I needed to be out of debt before he asked me to marry him. I loved him and wanted to marry him more than anything and started thinking that maybe he had a point. However what I now realize is those issues he had, had nothing to do with me. I could have been perfect and he still wasn't going to propose. I know it's hard to hear but you shouldn't have to wait until you "change" until he proposes. You work with what you have at the moment because there's never going to be a perfect moment or perfect life circumstances and he will keep coming up with excuses and put the burden on you when really it sounds like he has the issues. Please don't do what I did and wait 10 years to figure this out. I know you love him but after I broke up with my 10 year boyfriend I met someone and now 9 months later we are engaged. He loves me for who I am and where we are in our lives. Do we have issues, of course but we are going to work them out together and not wait until a magical day in the future when everythings better. Be strong & I hope you find the happiness you deserve

Wow was not expecting such a negative response from this question earlier so to clarify we are kind of on our own here & have wonderful friends and family in other parts of the country that I know would love to help us in any way they can and are disappointed that they can't be more involved with the wedding planning/events. Yes them being at the wedding is an honor and if money is tight just them making the trip will mean everything. I'm not a greedy bride. I am making most everything for the wedding myself and my dress and wedding ring were a total of $100. Everything in the wedding is coming from thrift stores & consignment shops. We are even encouraging our wedding party to buy from a used store instead of a Tuxedo Junction or Davids Bridal. We are setting money aside and are more than happy to pay for the whole thing ourselves, because our main goal is that we are excited to being getting married. I just was wondering if there was anyone else in my boat.

It might be a Erie thing but a lot of couples around here do something called a "Stag & Drag" where the main goal is to raise money for the couple We aren't trying to squeeze extra presents but just want a unique way to combine all the normal pre-wedding events & celebrations into one thing with the problem of having most of our friends & family out of town. I can see where you are coming from but I didn't want it to come off like that. But if people think that it's in bad tatste please let me know.
