I'm the same way. As I posted below, my husband and I got engaged while watching TV on the couch, and I was the one who did the "proposing". It was very low-key. Blammobuddy claims that he hadn't proposed yet because he was trying to think of a way to do it, but I can't imagine him doing anything too awful romantic,…

My dad probably would have said something embarrassing, but if the tables were turned and I had to ask my husband's dad for permission? That's exactly how the conversation would have gone. He is not a talker.

Over-discussion is totally a killer! Our kid conversations ended exactly as yours did. No kids = no problems, right? :)

Well, the coldness is a little weird... when people would ask whether or not we were getting married, our response was usually something along the lines of, "Yeah, probably... at some point..." But otherwise, I guess "engaged to be engaged" was more or less what we did. :)

Maybe my story will make you feel better!

I am devastated. I read the news at work and cried at my desk.

Definitely this! I have gotten over my shyness enough that I come across as pretty normal and friendly in most social situations (took me about 25 years to get to that point, but whatever). But if you put me out in front of people or, worse yet, a camera, I freak out and cannot function like a human. I'm pretty sure…

That's what I did, too. Well, for the most part anyway. At the last minute, we asked our siblings (one each - perfect!) to stand up front and hold onto our rings for us. There was no rehearsal and everyone wore whatever they felt like. Easy peasy!

Excuse me, I'm pretty sure Boone's is the classic gateway booze for teens. I'm prepared to throw down over this.

I played in the pit orchestra for a production of this once. By the end of the run, I was seriously depressed.

Misandry?

Since when is Jez not a major multinational?! I am so upset and confused about why I've spent all this time here!

I am TERRIFIED of my friends getting pregnant. We're all 30+, so it's amazing that hasn't happened yet, really. But I like my friends, I like drinking beer with them, and I like not stepping on Legos when I go to their houses! And I like kids, but I am total crap at interacting with them.

I don't know, I think they could make it work. They bang and everything seems cool for a minute, Jack gets weird about it and tries to walk back their relationship again like he did after that car crash, Phryne wants more, tension ensues...

My neighbors are probably tired of hearing me and my roommate scream "JUST HAVE SEX ALREADY!!!!" all the time. It's a very common occurrence in our house.

HOW DARE YOU! He's lovely.

Thank you! And that horse... why did they have to make a horse that looks like a body builder? Why can't the horse just look like a horse, damnit?!

I love it when people fixate on something stupid like an all caps YOU in order to ignore the point I was making.

It's great that YOU think it's a counterproductive goal, but clearly quite a few of us disagree. I'll use myself as an example here: I've been a vegetarian for nearly 20 years, and besides a few accidents (damn you, sneaky chicken!) I've never wavered from that. I have, however, craved meat on occasion, especially…

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your argument seems to be "The kids broke the rules so they shouldn't whine about being punished, even though the rules are sexist." That's idiotic! The dress code is gendered and otherwise problematic. That is what they are protesting. Similarly, a lot of people (apparently including you)…
