This is a bit different than most of the posts here. My relationship is going great. He and I always have something to say to each other and it doesn't matter what we do when we are together, it just matter that we do whatever it is together. We have a lot of things in common and just enough that is different to keep things interesting. We have the same goals: education, careers, marriage, and family. And we both know that a new marriage can survive while we are both persuing our educations further but starting a family is something that really should be the main focus when the time comes. Oh butlook I'm getting ahead of myself trying to give the information that naybe needed for you good folks to help. It's not really a serious problem but it's weighing on my mind anyway. See my mother told earlier in the week that she had a dream that I had a ring(now I know she meant an engagement ring); and this pleases me because I take it as a sign that she really likes my boyfriend. Well, last night he gave me a ring(not an engagement ring), but basically a way to say that well, an engagement ring is coming. Now I want to share this moment with my mother, but I don't want her to get the wrong idea. I'm just really confused and a little spooked by the timing of the weeks events. Her dream and his actions seem to have collided. I'm just unsure on how to share this news. Thanks for any advice in advance.
HI there, Well, don't let it bother you so much since like you say, this is not a serious problem. It's not a problem at all. Seems like you are very happy with your partner, and I congratulate you. As far as I can see it, you have two options: a) you can not tell your mom about the not-yet-engagement-ring just so that she won't get her hopes up or b) you can casually tell her while cooking dinner one Friday night what a coincidence her dream and his actions were! (which, I have to add they really are...). And if she gets all excited, tell your mom that this ring is not an engagement ring and that it doesn't mean any more than a boyfriend ring. Remember you are living your own life and dreams, not your mom's. Good luck.
