Should I give my mom a ring?
My mom and I have been sort-of a couple since June 2020. It was just us in the house together during the pandemic, and at first we were just getting our frustrations out with each other but then we said our first “I love yous” (and not “love” in the mom/daughter way either, but, like, *romantic* love) by Halloween. And even though I graduated and found a job and could move out, I chose to stay with her and she finally moved my dad’s old stuff out of her room and I “moved in” with her there, and … this feels really REAL and really PERMANENT, in a way none of my other relationships have felt.
I’ve got a ring picked out and in my computer bag. I’ve been carrying it around since my birthday, which feels kind of stupid. I know we can’t officially get married, and that’s what’s been holding me back, but I also want to put a ring on this woman’s finger and pledge to be her wife.
Am I seriously overthinking this? Should I propose to my mom and give her this ring, or should I try to return it? I really don’t think I can sit on this decision any longer.
Very nice! Your story has me swimming in emotions!
That is so sweet. Congratulations.
I say go for it. Love is love
Thank you! I did a really awkward proposal last night and now we’re … well, not engaged I guess, but she said yes!
