TragicAlliance Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I can't believe how much can change in one visit... On Monday I came home from work to be informed that my boyfriend had to fly back to England the very next day. With our anniversary coming up in just a matter of days, I was completely destroyed by the news... so was he. He spent the better part of the evening clinging to me and crying in my shoulder, so I turned on autopilot to try and be strong for him. But I felt so sick inside. I called out of work on Tuesday and spent all the time I could with him. But time dwindled down and soon enough we were at the airport trying hard not to be crushed. We sat down in a corner of a pseudo-restaurant and attempted to eat something before he had to leave. Suddenly I got overwhelmed by a huge flood of feelings. In five seconds' time, the whole of seven years blurred through my mind. I looked at him as he stared sadly out the window and I suddenly felt outrageously terrified. For some reason I saw him in this completely different light... and something told me that if I didn't act on my emotions, I would regret letting him board the plane. So after about five minutes of debating (and him badgering me to tell him what had worked me up so badly), I decided to act. He had given me a ring way back in the beginning of our relationship, and I wore it around my neck everyday because it no longer fit my finger. I took my necklace off, placed it in his hand, and asked him if he remembered what that ring meant. When he said that he did, I asked him to marry me when he returns. He looked like someone hit him in the face, and then he lit up with this tearfully excited smile and all he could do was nod his head yes. I'm sure the people who were sitting nearby were quite confused at our behavior. He's back in England now, and here I sit at 2:30 AM with an empty bed and heartsick insomnia. I miss him so much, things are so strange without him here. But it's only a few weeks and he'll be back... so I just gotta tough it out. After all, I promised him that he had a wife waiting for his return... I love this man so much. I absolutely can't wait to commit my life to being with him. I can't think of any better joy. =) Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut9330 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 That is so sweet and i'm so happy for you it was a good move to tell him how you feel. I know its hard being away from him but now you have the rest of your life to spend with him and he will be forever yours and forever with you. Link to post Share on other sites
