Your grandmother is right.

I find it so disloyal that your friend disclosed all of this to you.
She has made everything much worse for you plus she betrayed your boyfriend's confidence in a horrible way.

Oh well....It's done now.

I advise you to try not to place too much focus on this which I know will be easier said than done.
Try not counting down months + weeks, etc.

Let everything happen in an organic fashion.

Trust me, when your boyfriend is ready he will know.

You can also take matters into your own hands.

DH proposed on the second date, I turned him down, and starting talking to him about getting married 2 years later. I picked out the rings and everything. At least we both got to propose! As a woman brought up in a socially conservative household, I don't understand why the man should have exclusive rights to the whole marriage proposal spectacle.

This. Don't move in. Who cares about the deposit.


If you don't live with your partner before getting engaged you're a pathetic fool. It's how mature adults learn to build a life together.

That's right. Kind of like "mature adults" call strangers names on anonymous message boards and assume that their own experience is universal.

The GF is fine, none of this is a big deal to people who aren't basic bitches with tedious lives.

Do women REALLY propose? Because I have yet to know one woman who has proposed to her boyfriend.....

My DH and I didnt move in together until after we got engaged. We have kids and a home and such, so I think we overcame the offs re: building a life together.

Moved in together before getting engaged. It was great.

Then explain why people who live together before marriage have higher divorce rates than those who don't.
