Wow. Three weeks? I'd assume he was planning something special and wait eagerly. Why assume the worst and think he's abandoning you? Way to communicate. I'm glad that he found out how shallow you are #123: I'd be eager, wondering what they were doing. #124: Planning a wedding is a very, very, time consuming task. Doing it yourself, which is especially romantic IMO, is even more so. You're an idiot, you deserve it.
# 125 - you're so funny. the guy is not planning the wedding yet.............. he's just proposing... and if he really is proposing, it wouldn't take three weeks to do that. you're the idiot.
Some bitches are just retards lol, and in this case I can tell you have a lack of functioning the communication skills in your brain. dumb bitch YDI.
A lot of people are throwing out spurious arguments and making general sweeping-statements about gender roles, but the one thing that's undeniable in this case is that your relationship is clearly not a level at which marriage is ok. I agree with a lot of the posters that communication was epic fail here, but if you're not willing to be able to go three weeks without pandering to each other every day, then clearly your relationship/marriage will become strained in the long run. Check this: you CAN love someone and not be able to contact them consistently at times, and you have to give your loved-one the allowance to have other things on their mind apart from you. I would hazard a guess that over those three weeks, you never contacted him to make sure everything was ok. But I don't know. I also don't know if he was possibly using the story of proposing to you as a diversion and that he was actually doing something else. Only you can intuitively discern what you think about that. I know that if you two were suited to continue your relationship, things would have worked out. If they didn't, then it's not 'destined' to not work out, per se, but you clearly don't complement each other in the right way to have a healthy relationship dynamic. Communication is paramount!
blah blah blah blah... too many flowery words! yes, you CAN love someone without communication for a few weeks, months, years, decade, or even the person is gone -- yes, you CAN still love! but we're not only talking about love.. we are also talking about relationship here --- communication is VERY important. what are you saying # 129, that the girl couldn't survive the marriage ''level'' cuz she can't stand being away from her love for 3 weeks??? --- the guy didn't even tell her ahead of time that he needed some space .. a warning would have been nice. 3 weeks is long enough to make you worry. if he's just preparing for proposal - it shouldn't take 3 weeks to do that. and back to LOVE? everybody deserves to have a "cant-live-without-you" love. and "i-love-to-be-with-you-everyday" love. The girl deserves so much better..
AWWWW poor guy, some guys are like that, when he really likes a grl he'll spend a long time planning sth for her, I hope u guys work things out..I can just imagine his confused face...:(
Aww, that was sad. But it seems like it would easily be explained? I don't think he should have been ignoring you in this process, though.
Learn to communicate.
