15 Year Anniversary Present Questions and Answers



Open Question: What should i get/make my boyfriend for our one year anniversary?

I'm 15, hes 17. We don't do presents for our "monthaversaries". Sometimes the most he'll do is take me for pizza. He bought me a pandora one our 6th month/my birthday present. He's into music, like obsessed with it. He listens to the devil wears prada, august burns red, underoath. I don't have that much money and im already getting him an ipod touch for his birthday so i dont wanna over do it. Keep it PG please:) more

Resolved Question: I am newly married and we live in the same house that he and his ex lived in…need advice.?

My husband and I have been married a little over a year (15 months). We currently live in the house that he and his ex wife lived in prior to their divorce (they lived there for 8 months before he left and they divorced.) The house was and still is in his name only, so he kept it (and the mortgage of course.) His ex didn’t work, lied and manipulated him through their sons for the entire length of their marriage, she drank heavily, took pain pills for recreation and smoked weed regularly, while he worked 60 hrs a week and footed the bill for her habits and all the household bills. His two grown sons also lived there and worked sporadically and didn’t contribute financially to the household (no rent, groceries etc). He supported 4 adults. Fast forward to now, we are married, I have a good job that I have been at for 14 years; he and I make a good living financially together. I pull my weight in this relationship in every way. Recently, we had a minor issue with the mortgage company and the house insurance and I found out that the closing for the house was on their anniversary….he bought the house in the same year that he bought her a car for her birthday (his father had died and left him some money and this was part of the way he spent it - by buying his ex a car (she kept telling him that she would get a job if she had her own car….she got the car…..she didn’t get a job, didn’t even look for one) and coming up with a sizable down payment to buy the house (a new construction by the way…..it is 3 years old this month). I did not want to live in the house, the only reason that we moved into it was because there was and is very little chance of him selling the house with the housing market in the toilet and unemployment rampant. He also would not be able to recover the $10,000 down payment he made towards getting the house with the economy so bad, but he was still responsible for the payment. It was purely a smart financial decision, but a hard emotional one. To me, it seems like I am living in (and paying half the payment for) HER anniversary present. He told me that it was not planned that way…that it just happened that the papers were signed on that day. I feel like he GAVE her the house for their anniversary the same way he GAVE her a car for her birthday. My logical part of the brain tells me that it won’t be like this forever. We knew that moving into the house would be temporary and that we wanted OUR own home……but it is like the house is toxic to me. I don’t think I realized how hard it would be. We have lived there 13 months. How do I deal with this? He is a good man and I don’t want to ruin this marriage over something that other’s see as trivial. I had a friend of mine tell me that it’s not like they raised their kids there and it’s full of those memories. That they only lived there a few months before he left and filed for divorce, they were probably not good months to him if he wanted to get out so badly. I understand that, but am I wrong for wanting something that I don’t feel like is a leftover or a crumb from his past??? HELP!!!!!!say it all..I do not compare myself to his ex or our relationship to their relationship..there is NO comparision. I am clearly the winner all the way around. Perhaps it is frustration more than anything at things I can't control (the economy) keeping us from be able to do the things we want to do (sell the house and buy or own.)...and buy OUR own. Sorrycraig b and highnlow...................go to hell. Thanks for the abuse........I asked for help and got smartass answers. Thank God I'm not you.Some things I should have added but left off: I was a single parent for 11 years and owned my own home which I sold so that we could buy our own together. I raised my children in that home and it was hard to do. Also my name is on the deed (title) of the house, he added it the week after we got married and I DO pay for half of it, so I am entitled to that. People that are saying “Grow up” need to realize that unless you find yourself in a situation YOU have no idea how things you make you feel. Logically, I am doing what I have to do to survive for now, but it is frustrating to work every day and still have to wait to have the things you want to have while others seem to have it handed to them and didn’t do a damn thing to deserve it. YOU grow up!Everything in it is new, as she took everything as part of the “payoff” for her to go. It was crappy anyway as he was the only income. I bought and paid for the new furniture, new rugs and everything. I have decorated it and it is beautiful. People that knew them before (like their sons) are amazed that it looks so different. By the way I am educated with a college degree in marketing so please some of you stop implying I am of low intelligence. I have my own IRA, 401K and insurance, my car is in my name …..I don’t rely on him to get me by. Logically I understand what the situation is and I accept that it is temporary…..I was just thrown a curve about the date. She is a parasitic personality that can’t survive unless she is attached to something stronger while I, on the other hand, lived alone while raising two kids, working full time and completing my degree. I realize that is the frustration more than anything that is bothering me.To the ones that replied with good intentions Thank You for your input. It is easy to see when the emotions are removed. more

Resolved Question: why russian red army plan to invade the baltic nations of estonia, latvia and lithuania?

WHY RUSSIAN RED ARMY PLAN TO INVADE THE BALTIC NATIONS? BEFORE RUSSIA CAN INVADE THE STATE OF ISRAEL, SHE MUST HAVE ASSEMBLE HER NAVAL MIGHT AROUND THE WORLD ESPECIALLY IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, MEDITERRANEAN SEA. AND PERSIAN GULF. Fleets: The following abbreviations are used to indicate fleet assignements: NOR: Northern Fleet, headquarters at Severomorsk. PAC: Pacific Fleet, headquarters at Vladivostok. BLK: Black Sea Fleet, headquarters at Sevastopol. BALT: Baltic Sea Fleet, headquarters at Kaliningrad. CASP: Caspian Flotilla. RIV: Units assigned to service on inland rivers. RUSSIAN PERSIAN GULF FLEET WILL COME FROM PACIFIC FLEET LOCATED AT VLADIVOSTOK, SIBERIA, RUSSIA. AT IT STAND NOW, RUSSIAN NORTHERN FLEET IS LOCATED IN NORTH OF RUSSIA NEARF FINLAND AND BLACK SEA FLEET IS LOCATED IN UKRAINE AREA. BUT MURMANSK IS TOO DANGEROUS DURING WINTER AND THEREFORE BALTIC PORT IS STILL THE BEST PORT FOR RUSSIAN NAVY. THIS MEAN RUSSIA HAS TO GET THE BALTIC PORT BY HOOK OR CROOK. THE BALTIC PORT CAN SUPPLY 30,000,000 RUSSIAN RED ARMY SOLDIERS WTH FOOD, CLOTHES AND SHELTER FOR THE NEXT 12 YEARS. THEY SAY THAT THE BALTIC NATIONS OF ESTONIA, LATVIA AND LITHUANIA IS THE MOST PROSPEROUR OF THE 15 SOVIET UNION STATES. In Operation Drumbeat and subsequent operations until August 1942, a large number of Allied merchant ships were sunk by submarines off the American coast as the Americans had not prepared for submarine warfare, despite clear warnings (this was the so-called Second happy time for the German navy). WE MUST REMEMBER HOW GERMAN NAVY SINK ALOT OF ALLIES SHIPS IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. NOW, RUSSIAN NAVY WILL TAKE OVER FROM WHERE GERMAN NAVY HAVE LEFT DURING SECOND WORLD WAR. THERE ARE ABOUT 40,000 MERCHANT SHIP AROUND THE WORLD BUT IF YOU ADD OTHER SHIP LIKE OIL TANKERS, PASSENGERS SHIP, AND ETC IT COULD EASILY COME TO 1,000,000 TO 12,000,000 SHIP AROUND THE WORLD. IN SIMPLE ENGLISH, RUSSIAN NAVY IS GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY SINKING ALL THE SHIPS IN THIS WORLD ESPECIALLY IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN, THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA AND PERSIAN GULF. THE QUESTION IS HOW AMERICAN NAVY ESPECIALLY THE 6TH FLEET IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA IS GOING TO STOP THE RUSSIAN NAVY. AMERICAN LEARN A BITTER LESSON ABOUT GERMAN NAVY DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR AND NOW RUSSIAN NAVY WANT TO REPEAT THE SAME GAME ALL OVER AGAIN. HOW FAST CAN AMERICAN NAVY DESTROY ALL RUSSIAN NAVY WITHIN A GIVERN TIME. IS IT ONE MONTH, SIXTH MONTH OR THREE YEARS? WE MUST REMEMBER THAT RUSSIAN SUBMARINES CAN DESTROY ALL SHIPPING IN THE PANAMA CANAL, SUEZ CANAL AND MALACCA STRAITS WITHIN 3 YEARS FROM 2010 TO 2012. SRI LANKA HAS NOW BECOME A MEMBER OF THE IRON CURTAIN COUTRIES TO PROVIDE SHELTER TO RUSSIAN AND CHINESE NAVAL FLEET. Sixth Fleet has consisted of up to 40 ships, 175 aircraft and 21,000 people, The current commander of the Sixth Fleet is Vice Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr NOW WE HEAR THAT CHINESE DONGFENG 21 MISSILE CAN DESTROY US AIRCRAFT CARRIER ABOUT 900 MILES AWAY. WILL CHINA SELL IT DONGFENG 21 MISSILES TO RUSSIA TO SINK THE US 6TH FLEET IN THE MEDITTERANEAN SEA? THIS MEAN RUSSIAN NORTHERN FLEET WILL BE THE MASTER OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA AND ALSO TO PROVIDE SUPPLY TO THE 30,000,000 RUSSIAN RED ARMY SOLDIERS IN JERUSALEM, ISRAEL. SO WITH 233 WAR SHIPS RUSSIA COULD DESTROY HALF THE WORLD SHPPING WITHIN 3 YEARS. Active January 17, 1992 - present Country Russian Federation (earlier - Soviet Union) Type Navy Size 142,000 active service personnel (2006), 233 ships. Anniversaries Navy Day (last Sunday in July) Vladimir Vysotskiy Current commander IF AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN NAVY CLASH IN THE MEDITTERANEAN SEA THEN IT IS DIFICULT FOR ISRAEL TO GET SUPPLY FROM SEA AND THEREFORE HAS TO ABANDONE THE PROMISED LAND FOR EGYPT AGAIN SINCE THE TIME OF PROPHET JACOB GOING TO EGYPT FOR FOOD, CLOTHES AND SHELTER. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 4,000 YEARS AGO? WHATEVER IT IS , THE EARTHQUAKE IN FROM JERUSALEM, ISRAEL WILL DESTROY ALL RUSSIAN NAVY AND THIS WILL SAVE THE AMERICAN NAVY. SOME MASS MEDIA SAID THAT DIVINE PROTECTION WILL PROTECT ALL 400,000,000 JEWS AROUND THE WORLD DURING THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF ISRAEL. WELL FOR 400,000,000 JEWS THEN YOU ARE GOING TO NEED ABOUT 400,000,000 ANGELS TO PROTECT EACH AND EVERY JEW AROUND THE WORLD. PROPHET LOT FAMILY SAVED BY ANGELS. IF GOD IS ON OUR SIDE THEN WHO DARE TO CHALLENGE US. GOD BLESS ISRAEL. MR. ROBIN DONALD. KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA. DATE\; 17TH, AUGUST, 2010.

Resolved Question: If your wife gave you this for an anniversary gift, how would you react?

Ok, it could just be because i am a hopeless romantic, and i expect the same out of my husband. Anyway, we are both on our second marriage, and he is 15 years older than me, and ive NEVER loved anyone as much as i love him. Anyway, we had our 1st anniversary a couple of weeks ago and i spent weeks writing him "our love story", of how we met and so on. I had in bound at Kinko's, and so on. I know that if i had gotten a present like this, i would have been so surprised, and couldn't wait to read it. Yet he just read it all today, and his response was, "yeah, i liked it, i lived it, so yeah it was nice." OK, yes i know YOU lived it! Maybe im wrong, maybe i still do NOT understand men, i don't know. Let me tell you know, i am 31 and he is 46, and we BOTH have 3 children each, ALL girls!!! LOL!!! So its not like we are young and stuff. Anyway, i spent a LOT of time on this, and it was 21 typed pages of how we met, and stuff, and how much he meant to me, and how i could NEVER imagine loving anyone as much as i loved him. And i gave him an awesome card, and he gave me a card that said, " 1 down 100 more to go! i know we have been through allot this year, i love you!" Seriously, would you NOT be mad about this?? ok just wondering, if i am over reacting.first of all as far as my "punctuation" im a sonographer, and EVERY day my job could and does save someones life, and im exhausted. Second, hes a VERY sweet, emotional man, that i fell in love with, and nevermind, obviously the majority of the women/men whom are reading this have never been in a marriage like ive been in prior, and have never felt the amazing love that i feel now, and i feel sorry for you. And the story wasnt mushy, and so on, it had a LOT of our best funny moments, amoung other things.LOL, and as far as the karma sutra book comment....ive many times surprised my husband by dressing up like a "school girl", and a "french maid" amoung other things, and had been waiting on him on the kitchen table when he got home from work..... more

Resolved Question: Should I stay in a 20 year marriage which has no intimacy?

We haven't had any form of sex in 2 years because I have deliberately stopped asking. Prior to that we only had sex with the aid of Lesbian porn movies to make her aroused as she doesn't like men's bodies or sex itself. Sex would have to be over as quickly as possible as she didn't phsyically like the act itself. She doesn't like receiving oral sex or foreplay in general preferring to get the act over and done with as soon as possible. I know I'm being selfish and many blokes would love to have a lovely wife who loves watching other naked women having sex. I just feel like I should be loved and desired for who I am - a bloke - in the same way I love and desire her - without the aid of porn on a regular basis. To me it's like she has to have external help to desire me which means she doesn't want me naturally. I have talked to her about this and she asked about about what it is that has changed to make me feel differently. I've simply grown more aware about what I want from a relationship and having what has developed into a sister / brother type relationship is not what I want from a relationship with my wife. I care for her deeply but I have switched off my desires for her because it's eating at me that she doesn't share the same desires back. She is a good looking women with a lovely body and great socially so I'm sure there would be a queue of male suitors if she was interested. No-one seems what goes on behind close doors and although we look a lovely couple from the outside its just getting sadder and sadder living on the inside. We had our 20th Wedding Anniversary some weeks ago and neither of us even said Happy Anniversary let alone bought any presents. For the 10th Wedding Anniversary I bought her a trip to New York for the 2 of us - she didn't buy me anything. We have 3 boys - 17, 15 and 12 - and I am now fantasising about the day when the 12 year old leaves home to Uni and I can move on with my life but that's 5 years away. She is a fantastic mum but I just want to be wanted! more

Resolved Question: What are very good and special ways to give a girlfriend a promise ring?

Right now, I'm thinking ahead. My girlfriend and I have been dating coming up on 2 years. We"ve been talking and beating around the bush about going out since the 8th grade, but we started dating since we were 15. We took a break to figure out how we could see each other more. Then we started dating again. Its now going on our senior year of school and I want to get serious. I really love her with all my heart, and I want to give her one for our anniversary. We've been to hell and back for and with each other; and I want to show her how much she really means to me. Does anyone have any good ways that i can present it to her? Or any stories that i can get ideas from? I want it to be extremely special. please help me thanks in advanced =) more

Resolved Question: Anniversary present for my 15 year old boyfriend? Guys and Girls please help!?

We're both 15 and it's almost our one year anniversary. It's so hard to shop for guys. It's not that I don't know him well enough to pick something nice, it's just that I'm brain dead when it comes to buying gifts for the male species. I don't want to get him cologne...that's so boring. I need creative ideas! if you know of a cool store I could get something at that's nice too. PLEASE don't tell me to go to a mainstream overly priced store like Hollister to get him a $50 t-shirt that smells like it has been soaked in cologne. I will choose a best answer, thank you so much for the help!! more

Resolved Question: disappointed by friends for my birthday?

Im a guy btw, im on my sister's account. Okay so i dont really like being the center of attention and never had too many friends so i always hated having birthdays. I havent had a real birthday party since i was like 15 and on july 8(tomorrow) i turn 20. One of my best friend's birthdays was in early june and we planned a surprise for him and i even got him a $70 dollar nice present. So i was pretty sure no one would plan a surprise for me since i am single and dont have a car and stuff so I had to plan my own party. I only planned a simple dinner and invited 9 people who i am pretty close to or very close to. so one girl has work so she wont make it. Another girl who is a very good friend of mine for some reason is only dropping off a gift and wont come (her boyfriend doesnt like me). My good friend that i bought the present for in june sed he wont come bc it also happens to be his 1yr anniversary. So i understand its an anniversary but we are supposed to be best friends and he cant even spare dinner? i didnt even ask to go out afterwawrds for drinks or anything, just dinner... I even invited his gf who is a friend of mine as well so that they can also spend time together and would interfere with their anniversary as little as possible. today, which is the day b4 my birthday, happens to be the birthday of a girl who is their friend, and they spent the whole day with her and planned a surprise and all. two others girls that i invited happen to be taking the mcat the morning of. one of them apparently told her mom she promised to go home to see her family that day (her home is in a city 1 hr away) and the other apparently is going on a flight to dallas the day after and her parents want her home early that night so she cant come. So 6 of the 9 people i invited are not coming... These are some of the people i consider most important in my life and i even told them about my mental illness (anxiety) this year. Im just disappointed and sad about this. am i being too selfish or unreasonable? more

Resolved Question: what is a good one year anniversary present for my boyfriend?

Voting Question: I need help writing this "love" song?

But I need lines Here are a few that I have liked: You make my heart sing Touch of your skin (got line from I'll be - Goo Goo Dolls) Your gentle eyes I know it might sound a little corny but all the things are true i seriously feel like i love her and Im not a kid who just says that to his girlfriends i don't say it until i think i feel it.I kinda need some chords too cant find the rite sound i want more

Resolved Question: Is the NBA fixed? Anybody has evidence to support this claim?

I sometimes think it is....2 quick examples: 1. Last year everybody was hyping up Kobe vs LeBron and the Cavs were supposed to play the Lakers in the finals...Nike MVP puppet commercials...there was a lot of money involved. Then when everybody started to notice this....all of a sudden the Magic puts them out of the playoffs but gets beat in 5 games by the Lakers. 2. Last night. OKC vs LAL...Scott Brooks gets coach of the year Durant the scoring title, David Stern in attendance to present Scott Brooks with the award...1st ever playoff game in OKC history...again, a lot of money involved for the city of Oklahoma...the storylines of the 15 yr anniversary of the OKC bombings...so this was a good way of indoctrinating the city to a winning franchise...If they would get swept, do you think the fans would still support them as much? Lastly, the TNT broadcast had the fans report the "keys of the game" which was scripted because of course Doug Collins or his staff just had them read off a teleprompter because fans usually don't get that kind of exposure... What do you guys think of all this? more

Resolved Question: CR1 & IR2 IV question?

Here's the situation in summary... I'm married since june 2008 to a USC, who has been living outside the US for over 15 years now. We got our first baby six months back. We are now planning to live in the US, and since my husband haven't spent 2 years in the US after being 14, so he had to present for both me & the baby a petition. We got our IV few days back, my visa status is CR1 (due to the fact that the interview was made before i fulfill my 2 years marriage), and the baby got IR2 (they told me at the Embassy that the baby will be considered a US citizen as soon as she reaches USA) We should be going to the US sometime near July, therefore our second marriage anniversary will be fulfilled. I am fully aware that i should receive my IR1 status instead of CR1 status once i reach POE. But the question is should i take with me any proof/legal documents to show to the officer at the POE, in order to change my status & be granted the GC for 10 years validity, or will it be as simple as just informing the officer that my 2nd anniversary has passed, and he/she will fix the data??? My second question is regarding the baby visa. Does IR2 means that she will get the US citizenship as soon as she reaches the US soil, or she will follow the process of getting first a GC then we should petition for her to get the US citizenship & passport??? and is there any legal documents i should bring with me for her at the POE Thanks more

Resolved Question: Does this sound odd to you or is it a little normal to think this way?

Okay so in a question I said that I'm turning 16 (tomorrow actually) but I don't want to I'm perfectly happy being 15. That's not the point though, well not technically. I also died literally from an epileptic seizure a 1 year old. They got me back but I've always thought of the anniversary of that day sometime in December as more of a birthday than yesterday. It's sort of like my life started (or rather started again) on that day. So that makes it more of a birthday than what tomorrow is even though that's the anniversary of my actual birth. I feel like I shouldn't even be receiving presents or doing that birthday stuff tomorrow because it doesn't feel as if it's my REAL birthday anymore. I feel that December 1995 is my real birth-date over April 1994. (I can't remember the exact date I had the seizure, the 20-something of December 1995). I know it sounds weird but does this make any sense at all???? And what do you think I should do about it? more

Resolved Question: Presents for my boyfriend?..?

Hey, ok so my boyfriend is literally the hardest person to buy for xD He's 15 going on 16.. We've been together just over 2 years... and we're long distance right now =/ but here's about him.. He doesn't wear jewelery, he's vegan, he changes his mind on things alot (he had an xbox and was into that but just recently sold it because he got bored lol) He doesn't really have any outstanding hobbies.. and anything I can think of would be too expensive. He's coming to see me this summer and I wanted to get him something because we're gonna celebrate our anniversary then and since he spent more on his present than I did on his.. I have no clue. I bought him a bracelet last time, which was a risk since he doesn't wear jewelery, but turned out he loved it.. except he wouldn't wear more. Thing is, I have to consider him being vegan also. The bracelet was leather but this was before he was vegan, he still wears it though. But I'm so limited because of having to post it, and for these reasons. I'm short of ideas :( I'd like to give him something that means something too.. if anyone has any ideas please let me know :D thank you x more

Resolved Question: One year dating anniversary present ideas?

Well, i'm 14 and he's 15 and we decided we weren't going to buy proper presents so I thought i'd just make him something sweet that he would remember. I was going to make a little scrapbook but I wont have time now, as our one year dating anniversary is on the 31st march. I was going to get a jar, and fill it with paper, with little memories, lyrics from our songs, poems, maybe a tiny photo or two, maybe some drawings for him on. I was then going to add some preserved petals or leaves or something. I don't know though, because it wont all fit in a jar :/ Especially not poems or photos so i'm not sure what to do. Maybe I should do lots of things i love about him on little bits of paper and fill the jar with them instead? But then what else could i do that would include the other things? Thanks x more

Resolved Question: any ideas for a valentines/ 3 year anniversary present for my boyfriend?

so we've been together 3 years on the 15th feb and i need a present idea. I don't mind if its combined with valentines or not just any ideas! Im a student so don't have a lot of money and hes just awkward. He isn't really into any sports, so that's out the window. He used to work in a jewelery shop - so jewelery isn't an option! He loves games but the ones he wants aren't out yet or are £50! I would love to get him something romantic because i can get him xbox modding stuff for his birthday a week later so all ideas welcomed :)Thanks raisin its a good idea however just not practical - I cant gain access to the first place we kissed - uni halls! and he doesnt like wine (typical!) and i got him chocolates last year I really don't mean to sound picky! more

Resolved Question: Do you think this is a good present for a 16 year old boy?

ok, im 15 and i have a 16 year old boyfriend. tomorrow is our 1 year anniversary and i want to buy him something for our anniversary and for christmas. 6 months ago, he bought me a ring and a necklace...carelessly enough, i lost both of them a couple of weeks ago and still feel bad about and i want to make it up to him by buying him something. i thought that i could buy him a necklace with a cross on it since he talks about his religion everyday. but i don't know if that's good enough. he told me that for christmas hes going to try to get me a better necklace and for our anniversary, hes going to give me his most prized possession. im clueless when it comes to giving gifts for boys and i just want to know if i should get him something more than just a necklace. any suggestions?sorry if its confusing, its just that i really want to give him something to express how i feel other than a drawing or something i made...i gave that to him last month more

Resolved Question: I need to get my boyfriend something for Christmas! Any good ideas?

Well, we're both 15 and we've been dating for 2 months [our 3 month anniversary will be Christmas!]. We're in 10th grade, and we dated in 7th grade for 3 months. We've worked through a lot of crap because he's my best friend's brother [no comments on that please] but it's all good now. I was thinking of getting him something food-related as a cute little inside joke thing [because he never eats when he's around me, and eats like a pig when I'm not there], and then a real present. He loves waffles--he eats dinner and then 6 waffles for desert! But he's totally not fat. He was on varsity soccer team this year, and he loves it. I was thinking of getting him a new sweatshirt or something, because he only has 2 and they're really old, or some cologne, or personalized M&M's , or any combination of the 3. Or a picture frame of us and a picture of us back in 7th grade or something cute like that. Cute but sweet and not too serious. But kinda romantic at the same time? IDK, help please! more

Resolved Question: My bf's going to propose, but I feel like I resent him, and I'm not sure why?

Me and my bf have been going out for 6 years. I really loved him and I wanted to get engaged for the last 2 years now but he always said he wasn't ready. I slowly I began to resent him for not showing me enough attention (not calling, never showing affection, nothing special and no presents on valentines, our anniversaries, my birthdays not even christmas) and also for not wanting to get engaged. I felt that he was taking me for granted and he didn;t think I was worthy being his fiance. Just recently, I found out he's planning to propose (he told me himself) so its not going to be a surprise. I also found out that he borrowing money from his family for a ring because he didn't save any himself. And he said it was going to be cheap coz that's all he could afford... $750 cheap. At first I was really excited that he had even started planning anything, but now I feel like not only am I not going to be surprised, but the ring is not going to be what I had dreamed of...($2000 is what I thought he should spend at the least). I could take it if he had made the effort to save that $750, but he's borrowing it! I just feel like he's not taking this seriously and he should have put a lot more effort into find something for me. I know I'm coming across spoilt, but its how I feel coz i know I would go to the lengths of the earth to make him happy. I was looking at a ring for him worth $1,600. He's not poor tho, he saved $15,000 to buy his car... I feel like he's taking the easy way with this. I did try to tell him how i felt but he immediately got upset and said that I'm being materialistic. We haven't been talking much lately, and when I call he won't answer and will call back ages later only to tell me he's feeling sick when i know he's not. Its like everytime he think I'm going to be upset, he says that he's sick so he can get out of it. I'm dreading the day of the proposal if ever it comes because I just don't feel happy or connected to him at the moment. Its all I've wanted for so long, and now I feel like I don't. I feel like I hate him... but he's going to propose so shouldn't I be happy? I'm so confused with my feelings! If I reject him, will he ever forgive me? If we can mend the relationship, do u think he'll propose again later? help! more

(one of the funniest lines in television!) 3 years - he buys himself that bass boat he's always wanted, even tho you never fish and never will, and he tells you its for you!! 4 years - try forgetting the occasion for first time, see how that flies....end up sleeping with the dog for a week 5 years - forgot to buy present, hastily try re-gifting that fruitcake from christmas again...end up sleeping with the dog for another week (and find he is most happy to see you again) *blink blink* 6 years - he has no idea how fragile relationships become at this point...everything seeming stale and uninteresting...he does nothing thoughtful about it, you start flirting with postman ....but manage through another year (...dog just pulls blanky over to make room for him, and says "of course..") 10 years - a trip to las vegas is planned for the excitement and glamour, and no thought at all is given to the quick easy drive-thru divorce chapel being right there as you silently drive past it 11 years - you have read about what it means to be stockholm-syndromed, and are yearning to expand as a person...he is absolutely the same as he was, and beer belly isnt exactly turning you on once again, checking out the postman.. 15 years - stop the press! if you made it this far, chances are neither of you has the balls, (or the will anymore) to break out... nevertheless you find oddly that all your movie choices lately seem to begin and end with "The Great Escape" He buys you a copy of Home Alone ...3 days in the doghouse for him for pointing out the obvious, and to give him his wish ...dog would be pleased but is now too old to give a shlt 20 years - congratulations! you've learned how to ignore the insanely annoying on a basis so regular, you actually believe nothing can annoy you any longer 50 years - mayor gives you a prize for being imprisoned fo so long, er, i mean shackled, entrothed! yea, thats what I meant some kids look and think "ew, I hope I never get that old" then start giggling about thoughts of septagenarian sex...and the concept of wrinkles getting wrinkles.... he takes you to dinner, at 3:30 PM and gives you the glassy eye you pat his hand and order prunes more

The only problem is he tells me that he doesn't want anything. But then he said he wanted a shirt that says Property of (My name), Don't touch? Is he serious about that or just playing with me and if i do turn out to get him that what are other presents that i could buy?? Please give me ideas. Also, since i am in Canada and he is in Holland, i was thinking of ordering flowers through the internet and having them delivered do you think he would like that or what? Thanks for your help. :) more
